Janu Sievinen (FIN), the world record-holder in the 200m IM,  won his favorite event tonight in a New CR 1:55.47, less than a second off the world mark he shares with Hungary's Attila Czene. Jana Klochkova (UKR) won the women's 200 IM in a very fast 2:08.28, a New CR and the second fastest time ever swum behind only Allison Wagner's world record of 2:07.97. Alenka Kejzar of Slovenia, was a very strong second in 2:09.33. Italy's Emiliano Brembilla repeated his last year triumph in the 400m freestyle, pulling away from fast-rising Russian Yuri Prilukov, to win in 3:40.60;  Sweden's Stefan Nystrand defended his 50m sprint title, but not in the worthy time 21.55 ; Leading from start to finish in the 200 fly, Eva Risztov (HUN) won in 2:07.19, more than a second in front of Danish veteran Mette Jacobsen

LEN Press Info (October 20, 2002)

The Ligue Europenne de Natation is pleased to announce that 35 Nations have entered this 6 th edition of the Continental Winter Championships. 496 athletes are entered - the highest number of preliminary entries ever received by LEN 10 weeks in advance of the event !
Just two months after the closing ceremony at the European Long Course Championships in Berlin, the European swimming family is looking forward to another great spectacle involving the best swimmers in Europe.
The largest team will be that of the hosts, Germany, followed by a strong Russian team, France, the Ukraine, a young British team, Sweden and Spain. Excellent squads will also be competing from Croatia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Finland. Italy has announced the presence of all their finalists from the Summer Long Course Championships in Berlin, and Hungary indicated to LEN that they will attend with their top team for the first time ever at any Winter Championship. At this early stage it is appropriate to ask if Germany will be able to retain their top rank in the overall medals table, in front of Sweden. Italy, Russia and the Ukraine must be certainly considered too amongst the hot favourites to become the team winning most individual gold medals at the European Championships in Riesa (GER) where a temporary 25 meter, 8 lanes pool will be set up with stands for up to 3000 spectators.
In co-operation between LEN and the Organising Committee, cash prize money of 35.000 Euro will be presented to the 7 men and the 7 women who perform the best according to the international points table.
Men perfomances  Women performances
1 st 5.000 Euro 1 st 5.000 Euro
2 nd 3.000 Euro 2 nd 3.000 Euro
3 rd 2.000 Euro 3 rd 2.000 Euro

In addition, once more, the accredited media will be invited to elect the best male and female newcomers at this Event. Each chosen athlete will receive 1.500 Euro, together with sincere good wishes for a successful career leading up to the Olympics in 2004.
