Heiko Gigler won bronze in the 100 m medley at the European Short Course Swimming Championships in Lublin on Thursday. 

In 51.60 seconds, the Carinthian was well behind the Swiss winner Noe Ponti (50.52), but relegated his compatriot Luka Mladenovic to fourth place by three hundredths. Mladenovic had won the bronze medal in the 100 m breaststroke on Wednesday. It was the 29-year-old Gigler's first individual medal in the general class.

The Carinthian was emotional afterwards. "All the hard work, the training, everything you've sacrificed has finally come to fruition," explained Gigler, adding: "It was a huge weight off my mind. I've failed so many times before. The fact that it's worked out now is all the better because it's simply a great way to end the year. The fact that it worked out in a year like this, in which I had a really hard time, shows that you have to keep at it."

Mladenovic then swam to the final of the 200 m breaststroke on Friday (19:19) with an Austrian record of 2:03.42 minutes. Simon Bucher also made it into Friday's final (7.55pm) in the 100m dolphin in 49.92, while Lukas Edl was knocked out in the semi-final in 50.71.
