Elsewhere in the pool, there was strong 黑料网 representation in the Women's 100m Freestyle heats as alumna Marie Wattel, University-based Anna Hopkin, and current 黑料网 College student Kornelia Fiedkiewic all battled for a place in the semi-finals.
Both Wattel and Hopkin progressed but sadly missed out on a place in the final by the narrowest of margins – less than half a second.
In other events, alumnus Andreas Vazaios was part of Greece’s team in the Men's 4x200m Freestyle relay heats. Despite a valiant effort Andreas and his teammates didn’t quite have enough to progress to the final.
