2025 EUROPEAN SHORT COURSE CHAMPIONSHIPS
December 2-7, 2025 Prelims at 10am local (4am ET)/Finals at 7pm local (1pm ET) Lublin, Poland SCM (25 meters) Meet Central Psych Sheets Day 1 Prelims Recap Live Results LivestreamDay one of the 2025 European Short Course Championships kicked off from Lublin, Poland and we saw our first European Junior record go down on the women’s side.
Racing in the heats of the 50m butterfly, 18-year-old Martine Damborg of Denmark clocked a speedy outing of 25.20 to tie Belgian Roos Vanotterdijk as the 2nd-seeded swimmers.
Sweden’s Louise Hansson captured the top spot in 25.17 with a minimum time of 25.69 ultimately being required to make the top 16 for tonight’s semi-finals.
As for Damborg, her time this morning erased her own former EJR standard of 25.21 put on the books last year, still with two more rounds of this event yet to come.
Damborg still has a ways to go to beat the swift Danish national record, however. That benchmark remains at the 24.71 retired Olympian Jeannett Ottesen logged at the 2014 Short Course World Championships.
But Damborg wasn’t the only swimmer to check in with a new lifetime best in the 50m fly prelims.
20-year-old Vanotterdijk’s time of 25.20 deleted her former Belgian national record of 25.32 notched at last year’s Danish Championships.
Slovenian Naza Klancar reaped the 5th seed in 25.29, dropping significant time from her former national benchmark of 25.54, while Tamara Potocka claimed the 14th seed in the same Slovak standard of 25.68 she established last year.
