When Alisa Fatum arrives, expect the water to be churning – and so it was for the second day in a row in Oradea, Romania for the IISA 1st European Championship.
Similar to her German teammate Andreas Waschburger, the 29-year-old phenom repeated another world record performance on Day 2 with a remarkable world record time of 12:41.35 in the 1000m freestyle final. She broke her own existing record of 12:46.04 by a sizable margin.
And what will Fatum conclude on Championship event today, on Day 3? Time will tell. And it will be a fast time. Very very fast.
