2026 MALMSTEN SWIM OPEN STOCKHOLM

Thursday, April 9th – Sunday, April 12th Prelims at 9:30am local (3:30am ET)/Finals at 6pm local (Noon ET) Stockholm, Sweden LCM (50m) SwimSwam Preview Meet Central Day 1 Recap Entries Live Results

Day two of the Malmsten Swim Open Stockholm is upon us, and we’re set to be treated to some potentially explosive performances as swimmers vie not only for titles here but for European Championships qualifying times.

    The men’s 1500m freestyle is sure to be one of the highlights, as the fearsome trio of Germans in Florian Wellbrock, Oliver Klemet and Johannes Liebmann will be featured after a thrilling 400m free yesterday.

    Americans Brooks Curry, Destin Lasco and Dare Rose are slated to appear, with the former pair taking on the men’s 200m free and Rose among the men’s 100m butterfly finalists.

    On the women’s side, we’ll see what host nation swimmer Louise Hansson has in store in the 100m fly, while Dutch ace Tes Schouten and Hong Kong multi-Olympic medalist Siobhan Haughey duke it out in the 50m breaststroke.

    MEN’S 200 FREE – FINAL

    Meet Record – 1:45.12, Danas Rapsys (LTU), 2018 World Record – 1:42.00, Paul Biedermann (GER), 2009 European Record – 1:42.00, Paul Biedermann (GER), 2009 Swedish Record – 1:45.91, Robin Hanson, 2025

    GOLD – Brooks Curry (USA), 1:46.03 SILVER – Lucas Henveaux (BEL), 1:46.14 BRONZE – Robin Hanson (SWE), 1:46.51

    Cal-affiliated dynamo Brooks Curry of the United States put up the 2nd-best time of his young career en route to winning this men’s 200m freestyle.

    Splitting 24.18/27.15 (51.33)/27.60/27.10, Curry got to the wall ahead of Belgian Lucas Henveaux who touched just .11 later in 1:46.14.

    Also in the mix was host nation swimmer Robin Hanson who delivered a powerful outing of 1:46.51, a time just over half a second outside his best-ever and Swedish national record of 1:45.91 from last year.

    As for Curry, only the 1:45.89 from the 2024 Olympic Trials bests his performance here, with his time tonight rendering him 12th in the world at the moment. He also represents the 4th-quickest American on the season.

    Runner-up Henveaux already turned in a super solid performance last night, tying his own Belgian national record en route to earning bronze in the 400m free.

    Here he pumped out an outing of 1:46.14, a mark just .11 shy of his 1:46.03 national record established at last year’s World Championships. Henveaux split 24.87/26.86 (51.39)/26.86/27.39 as he tried to chase down Curry.

    WOMEN’S 100 FLY – FINAL

    Meet Record – 55.68, Sarah Sjostrom (SWE), 2016 World Record – 54.60, Gretchen Walsh (USA), 2025 European Record – 55.48, Sarah Sjostrom (SWE), 2016 Swedish Record – 55.48, Sarah Sjostrom, 2016

    GOLD – Louise Hansson (SWE), 57.50 SILVER – Helena Rosendahl Bach (DEN), 58.12 BRONZE – Tamara Potocka (SVK), 58.53

    29-year-old World Championships multi-medalist Louise Hansson of Sweden proved too quick to catch in the women’s 100m fly, logging a new season-best of 57.50 as the sole competitor of the field to delve under the 58-second barrier.

    Danish national record holder in the 200m fly, Helena Rosendahl Bach, touched next over half a second behind in 58.12 with Slovenia’s Tamara Potocka picking up the bronze in 58.53.

    Hansson’s time sliced .08 off her previous season-quickest effort of 57.58 nabbed at the NSW State Open Championships last month. She moves up one spot to rank 9th in the world this season. Potocka’s result is a new PB by .23 while Bach’s lifetime best remains at the 57.98 put up in Singapore last year.

    –MEN’S 100 BREAST – FINAL

    Meet Record – 59.23, Arno Kamminga (NED), 2024 World Record – 56.88, Adam Peaty (GBR), 2019 European Record – 56.88, Adam Peaty (GBR), 2019 Swedish Record – 1:00.08, Erik Persson, 2017

    GOLD – Caspar Corbeau (NED), 59.65 SILVER – Dawid Wiekiera (POL), 1:00.33 BRONZE – Arno Kamminga (NED), 1:00.58

    Former University of Texas Longhorn and Olympic medalist Caspar Corbeau got his hands on the wall first in the men’s 100m breaststroke, clocking the sole time of the pack under the minute threshold.

    Poland’s Dawid Wiekiera earned the silver in 1:00.33 and another Dutch Olympic medalist in Arno Kamminga bagged the bronze in 1:00.58.

    Corbeau was yet to clear the minute mark entering this competition, having put up a time of 1:00.07 at the Lausanne Swim Cup last month, so he’s steadily dropping time as the season continues.

    Corbeau now ranks 9th in the world.

    WOMEN’S 400 IM – FINAL

    Meet Record – 4:33.06, Katinka Hosszu (HUN), 2019 World Record – 4:24.38, Summer McIntosh (CAN), 2024 European Record – 4:26.36, Katinka Hosszu (HUN), 2016 Swedish Record – 4:38.46, Stina Gardell, 2012

    GOLD – Linda Roth (GER), 4:47.03 SILVER – Leni von Bonin (GER), 4:48.40 BRONZE – Tea Winblad (SWE), 4:51.70

    Nothing Earth-shattering transpired in the women’s 400m IM, as Germany went 1-2 with no swimmer dipping under 4:40. In fact, just two performers cleared the 4:50 barrier, with Linda Roth leading the charge in 4:47.03 followed by teammate Leni von Bonin who clocked 4:48.40.

    Swedish swimmer Tea Winblad hit 4:51.70 as the bronze medalist.

    MEN’S 1500 FREE – FASTEST HEAT

    Meet Record – 14:34.91, Daniel Wiffen (IRL), 2023 World Record – 14:30.67, Bobby Finke (USA), 2024 European Record – 14:32.80, Gregorio Paltrinieri (ITA), 2022 Swedish Record – 14:58.59, Victor Johansson, 2022

    GOLD – Johannes Liebmann (GER), 14:39.67 SILVER – Oliver Klemet (GER), 14:41.71 BRONZE – Florian Wellbrock (GER), 15:15.79

    As expected, the German trio of Florian Wellbrock, Oliver Klemet and Johannes Liebmann brought the heat in this men’s 1500m freestyle. Although it was likely this threesome would land on the podium, the exact order wasn’t set in stone, as any one of the weapons is capable of clawing his way to the wall first.

    When the dust settled, it was 19-year-old Johannes Liebmann who denied his countrymen the top spot.

    Liebmann scorched a time of 14:39.67 to get the job done in a tight-fought battle with runner-up Klemet. Klemet ultimately touched just over two seconds later in essentially the two-man race, with 2020 Olympic champion Wellbrock well behind in 15:15.79 for the bronze.

    28-year-old Wellbrock represents the 8th-best performer in history, owning a lifetime best of 14:34.89 from the 2023 Berlin Swim Open.

    Klemet’s PB of 14:39.03 rendered him the 13th-swiftest man of all time.

    For 19-year-old Liebmann, however, his result here laid waste to his previous PB of 14:53.15 from last year’s European Junior Championships, where he earned silver behind winner Kuzey Tuncelli of Turkey (14:45.05).

    Just like that, teenager Liebmann rises up the list of quickest-ever performers, now landing in slot #17, usurping his German compatriot and reigning 400m free World Record holder and Olympic champion Lukas Märtens.

    Liebmann and Klemet take over the top two positions in the season’s world rankings, rearranging some elite company, including Daniel Wiffen of Ireland and Zhang Zhanshuo of China.

    WOMEN’S 100 BACK – FINAL

    Meet Record – 59.81, Iona Anderson (AUS), 2025 World Record – 57.13, Regan Smith (USA), 2024 European Record – 58.08, Kathleen Dawson (GBR), 2021 Swedish Record – 59.62, Michelle Coleman, 2021

    GOLD – Adela Piskorska (POL), 1:01.00 SILVER – Lisa Seidel (GER), 1:01.01 BRONZE – Sara Costa De Vicente (ESP), 1:02.35

    Another subdued swim on the women’s side came in the form of the 100m backstroke, where the fastest time was represented by Polish swimmer Adela Piskorska‘s outing of 1:01.00.

    That narrowly defeated Germany’s Lisa Seidel who settled for silver in 1:01.01 and Spain got on the board, courtesy of Sara Costa De Vicente‘s swim of 1:02.35.

    MEN’S 100 FLY – FINAL

    Meet Record – 50.97, Nyls Korstanje (NED), 2025 World Record – 49.45, Caeleb Dressel (USA), 2021 European Record – 49.62 Maxime Grousset (FRA), 2025 Swedish Record – 52.00, Lars Frolander, 2000

    GOLD – Dare Rose (USA), 51.19 SILVER – Jakob Majerski (POL), 52.13 BRONZE – Luca Armbruster (GER), 52.14

    The United States claimed its second gold medal on the night, with Dare Rose capturing the top spot in the men’s 100m fly.

    Rose split 23.99/27.20 en route to stopping the clock at a speedy 51.19, beating his competitors by nearly a solid second.

    Polish national record holder nabbed silver in 52.13, well off his lifetime best and national record of 50.92 established at the 2020 Olympic Games to place 5th overall there in Tokyo.

    Germany’s Luca Armbruster‘s time of 52.14 was speedy enough to garner him the bronze medal.

    Rose, a 4-time World Championships medalist whose resume includes 100m fly bronze at the 2023 edition in Fukuoka, owns a PB of 50.46 from that competition. He is now the 6th-best man in the world on the season and the 2nd-quickest American, positioned only behind world-leading teammate Shaine Casas‘s time of 50.24 from December’s U.S. Open Championships.

    The Hong Kong national record in this 50m breaststroke was in Siobhan Haughey‘s sights, with the Olympic multi-medalist coming within .10 of her best-ever outing of 30.36 logged twice in 2023.

    Tonight she grabbed the gold in 30.46 in a tightly-fought battle with Polish swimmer Barbara Mazurkiewicz and Kotryna Teterevkova of Lithuania.

    The former hit 30.62 for silver and the latter produced 30.92 for the bronze.

    Entering this competition, 28-year-old Haughey’s season-best rested at the 30.71 registered at last November’s Chinese National Games. She hacked significant time off that former mark to now represent the world’s 8th-fastest woman this season.
