The Israeli weakened in the last 50 meters of the freestyle and stopped the clocks at 1:59.24 minutes • Israel won the championship in Rome with Anastasia Gorbenko's gold medal and three individual finals


The European Swimming Championships were closed this evening (Wednesday) in Rome, Italy, not before Sharon Polonsky participated in the 200 meter medley final, where he finished in fifth place.

The 21-year-old Polonsky, who advanced to the final stage from third place, was assigned to track number 6, as he had a great start and was in the medal picture in the half distance, but grew weaker in the last 50 meters of the freestyle and eventually finished with 1:59.24 minutes.

This result ranked the Israeli in fifth place, when the Hungarian Hubert Kos won the gold medal with 1:57.72 minutes, one place after him came the Italian Alberto Casiti with 1:57.82 minutes.

The Portuguese Gabriel Lopes closed the podium with 1:58.34 minutes.

It should be remembered that the talented swimmer who holds the Israeli record of 1:57.99 minutes, which he set this year at the World Championships in Budapest, if he had managed to reproduce it, would have awarded him the bronze, but he proved that there is another swimmer who can build on him in the coming years.

With this, Israel closes the championship, with Anastasia Gorbenko's gold medal in the 200 meter medley and three more individual finals and a similar number of finals for the team, with a total of 15 medals on Israel's balance sheet so far.
