Yesterday Amelie Blocksidge completed a remarkable feat by retaining her EJC 1500m free title in EXACTLY the same time she won in last year. In 2024 she was faster to 400m, stayed ahead to 1200m, whereupon 2025 Amelie chased her historic self down to be level at 1400m.

European Aquatics have confirmed dates for the 2026 Euros and they are hard on the heels of the CWGs - last time we had this arrangement in 2014 there were 19 days clear between, next year it’s 11.
