A busy and crowded evening, the Israelis spent the evening (Thursday) at the World Swimming Championships in Budapest, when for the first time, four swimmers together took part in the presentation of the evening in the semi-finals, which opened with a new Israeli record.
In the 100-meter butterfly, Gal Cohen Gromi touched the wall at the seventh end - with a time of 51.79 seconds, and broke Tomer Frenkel's national record set last year at Wingate by two hundredths, but that was enough for him to finish 15th overall.
One place behind him was the outgoing record holder Frenkel with 51.83 seconds.
Aviv Barzali, 20, participated in the semifinals for the 200 backstroke.
When she achieved a great result of 2: 10.42 minutes, she broke her own Israeli record from last year in Rome by 34 hundredths, and was one place away from a historic final for her when she was ranked ninth.

The Israeli set a relatively disappointing result of 22.00 and finished in 13th place.
