MEN’S 100 BACK FINAL
- European Record: 52.11, Camille Lacourt (FRA), 2010
- European Championship Record: 52.11, Camille Lacourt (FRA), 2010
- FINA ‘A’ Cut: 53.85
- Robert Glinta (ROU), 52.88
- Hugo Gonzalez (ESP), 52.90
- Apostolos Christou (GRE) / Yohann Ndoye Brouard (FRA), 52.97
Romanian Robert Glinta charged down the last few meters to emerge victorious in a razor-thin men’s 100 backstroke final, edging Spaniard Hugo Gonzalez by .02 to win the gold medal in a time of 52.88.
Glinta’s swim lowers his Romanian National Record for the third time this week, having been 52.97 yesterday, and is also Romania’ first European champion since 2004 and their first-ever male champion
Gonzalez puts up a blistering 52.90 PB for silver, closing in a blazing 26.98 while Apostolos Christou and Yohann Ndoye Brouard tie for the bronze in 52.97.
‘Like Kliment Kolesnikov’s neck chain. And it gives him further boost in his Freestyle, which is Super World Class!
Same with Chupkov’s chain.
Where does Robert train? In Romania? I know he swam for USC for a season or three….
He swam at USC for one year, won a relay title, took a dope podium pic, then dipped
Robert trains mostly in Romania. He is an exceptional athlete and what radically changed his evolution was the new team members he has for 2 years now: his coach and his strength and conditioning coach which is happen to be his father.
I am pretty sure we will see a even stronger Robert Glinta at Tokyo.
Thanks for the information! I always wonder where some foreign swimmers train and do they have access to the best facilities in their countries….
Is that a hint about USC training environment?
There was a lot of noise around it not long ago
He’d be 51.9 with a haircut and shave!
Hello Samson

Like 2009 all over again
Needs to grow much more hair to go head to head with Murphy
Gonna grow my hair out like this
Nevermind, mom said no
This is what moms are for… to rebel against when they say you can’t get a mullet
Love seeing your hair in your podcasts Coleman, you need to get Alex Sobers on Barbados swimmer
Coleman, you’ve done almost everything with your hair at this point. I think you need to grow a pink mullet next.
but only if I grow the pink myself
