Day Two Highlights
Sven Schwarz completed the distance double with a win in the men’s 800 freestyle, having won the 1500 free on day one. He cleared the field by nine seconds here in a time of 7:31.94, slicing more than a second off his previous best of 7:33.24 from the 2024 World Short Course Championships.
He placed fourth there and his time tonight would put him in the same place, albeit just 0.01 seconds off Ahed Jaouadi’s 7:31.93 for bronze and just 0.04 seconds off Florian Wellbrock‘s mark of 7:31.90 for silver. Wellbrock owns the German record at 7:27.99.
Moritz Bockes took silver behind Schwarz, with a pair of teenagers undercutting their entry times by a significant margin as they battled for bronze.
Moritz Erkmann dropped from 7:50.34 to 7:42.54 to win that fight, keeping Simon Brugger‘s 7:44.86 at bay. Brugger slashed more than ten seconds from his entry time of 7:55.43.
Angelina Kohler broke the 24-second barrier for the first time as she soared to victory in the women’s 50 free. The 2024 world champion in the 100 fly clocked 23.93 here, shaving 0.09 seconds off her previous best of 24.02 from the 2025 European Short Course Championships.
She moves up to third in the German all-time rankings, behind only Dorothea Brandt (23.74) and Britta Steffen (23.80), both of whom posted their times in the super-suit era.
The men’s 50 free saw defending champion Moritz Schaller get it done in 21.33, a quarter of a second ahead of Maurice Grabowski and Niclas Keilmann, who tied for silver in 21.58. Schaller was a tenth of a second faster than the 21.43 he posted last year.
Grabowski did go on to split a rapid 22.20 on the fly leg of the SC Wiesbaden 1911’s men’s 4×50 medley relay, which took gold by three tenths of a second. Bogdan Shelipov, who was fourth in the 50 free in a time of 21.64, spit 20.90 to overhaul Potsdamer SV’s Georg-Alexander Kloss on the anchor leg.
Melvin Imoudu eked out the victory in the men’s 50 breast in 26.32, less than a tenth of a second ahead of Louis Hoffmann‘s 26.43 for second. Imoudu backed up his 100 breast title from day one, while Hoffmann missed Jan-Malte Grafe’s age group record for 18 year olds by three tenths of a second.
Last night’s 200 free age group record breaker Mitja Bauer set a new lifetime best of 52.20 in the 100 back, but took bronze behind Bjoern Kamman (51.99) and Alexander Bauch (52.00). Lina Kroeger won the women’s event by a second in 58.72, with Cal commit Noelle Benkler the only other woman under the minute barrier in 59.94.
Benkler did claim victory in the women’s 20o IM in 2:11.94, off her personal best of 2:09.30, while the men’s event was won by Timo Sorgius in 1:56.56.
Of note, 44-year-old Nicole Heidemann took fifth in the women’s 50 breast in 31.35. That is more than two tenths of a second faster than her masters 40-44 age group world record of 31.58, which she will be aiming to topple at the German Short Course Masters Championships in two weeks’ time.
