The Swimming Association Cup provided a fascinating show of swimming in the National Pool at the Wingate Institute tonight (Wednesday), with the Olympic swimmers starring in the water.
Anastasia Gurbanko, Yaakov Tomarkin, Miron Heruti and Tomer Frenkel were among the winners, while Bar Soloveitchik and Daria Golovti also recorded nice victories.
The highest quality time for women was signed by Gurbanko, who won with 2: 26.20 minutes in 200 breaststroke, second from her Israeli record and again faster than the criterion for the World Championships in Budapest.
In the men's, Miron Heruti impressed with a victory in the 50 free in a time of 21.95, only 8 hundredths of his Israeli record, and for him once again faster than the criteria for the world championship he already held.

In the men's 100 butterfly, too, the battle was close between the two Olympics, with Tomer Frenkel winning with 52.69, 4 hundredths ahead of Gal Cohen Gromi, both of whom had already secured a place in the upcoming world championships.
