A great achievement for swimmer Michael Leitrovski, who advanced this evening (Sunday) to the finals of the European Swimming Championships being held in Rome, in the 50 meter backstroke from third place. 

The 22-year-old Leitrovski jumped into the water in the first leg, and touched the wall second, in a great time of 24.74 seconds, which is a new personal record for him.

In doing so, he obtained the ticket to the last eight from third place, where he will try to amaze and bring the first medal to the delegation in the final that will take place tomorrow. 

The talented swimmer, who also represented Israel at the Olympic Games in Tokyo last summer, continues his line of progress, when he was also ranked 12th at the 2019 World Championships.
