Short course world championship
Rank 14! OSV relay team misses final
On the final day of the World Short Course Swimming Championships in Budapest, the Austrian 4x100m medley relay team missed out on a place in the final. The quartet of Lukas Edl, Bernhard Reitshammer, Andreas Rizek and Heiko Gigler set a new Austrian record on Sunday in 3:27.99 minutes, but finished in 14th place.
Alexander Trampitsch (32nd / 1:44.94) was eliminated in the 200m crawl, as was Iris Julia Berger (22nd / 2:07.05) in the 200m backstroke. OSV sports director Walter Bär was satisfied with the results.
Reitshammer's silver medal in the 100 m medley remained the only OSV medal in Hungary, for the Austrian Swimming Federation it was the twelfth overall at a short course world championship. Nine Austrian records were also set. "The World Championships slowly picked up speed and in the end I can take a very positive view," said Bär. A medal should not be taken for granted. It shows "that we can swim to the front in some disciplines and that our team is broadly based."
