When Alisa Fatum arrives, expect the water to be churning fast – and so it was for the third day in a row in Oradea, Romania for the IISA 1st European Championship.
The 29-year-old phenom repeated another victorious performance on Day 3 with fast time of 3:01.15 in the 250m freestyle final. She was just off the world record of 2:56.81 set by Poland’s Karolina Szalast at the IISA 4th World Championship in February 2022.
