Horská wins 200m breaststroke for third Czech European gold

Kristýna Horská has taken gold in the 200m breaststroke at the European Aquatics Championships in Belgrade. It is the third first place for Czechia in the tournament, following gold medals for Barbora Seemanová in the 100m and 200m freestyle and the fifth medal in total for the Czech team.

Horská came first in Friday evening’s final in a time of 2:23:60, which means she has also qualified for the Olympic Games in Paris. In addition the 26-year-old broke her own Czech record by 68 hundreds of a second.
