Croatian swimmers delivered notable performances on the third day of the European Championships in Paris. The biggest success of the morning session was achieved by Filip Mujan, who qualified for the semifinals of the 200m breaststroke, while Jere Hribar made it to the 100m freestyle final with a new national record.

Mujan in the semifinals as the last qualifier

The 23-year-old member of Split's Mornar finished 17th in the heats with a time of 2:11.45 minutes. He was 22 hundredths of a second off his personal and Croatian record, and 2.12 seconds behind the fastest qualifier, Russia's Kirill Prigoda.

Mujan made it to the semifinals thanks to the rule that limits the number of representatives from a single country. Since three Russian swimmers were among the top 16, and only two are allowed to compete in the semifinals, Danjil Piseckij, who was sixth in the heats, was eliminated. His spot was taken by the Croatian record holder.

The 200m breaststroke semifinal is scheduled for the evening session, with Mujan swimming in the first heat. The start is set for 7:04 PM.

No semifinal in the 100m butterfly

None of the three Croatian representatives in the 100m butterfly managed to secure a spot among the top 16. The best result came from Vili Sivec, who posted the 28th fastest time (52.40 seconds), the quickest of the Croatian trio. Maro Miknić finished 30th (52.66), while Luka Kmetić ended up in 61st place (55.61) out of 66 swimmers.

Sivec and Miknić both recorded their best times of the season in this event, but it wasn't enough to advance. To make the semifinals, swimmers needed to go just over 52 seconds, with the last qualifier being Romania's Vlad-Stefan Mihalache in 52.07. The fastest in the heats was Switzerland's Noe Ponti (50.47).

The Croatian record in the 100m butterfly is still held by Dominik Strage, set back in 2009, 17 years ago.

Hribar chases a medal with a new record

The evening program also features the 100m freestyle final, where 22-year-old Jere Hribar will compete. He set a new Croatian record in the heats (47.80), improving his previous best by 13 hundredths of a second. In the semifinals, he posted the eighth-fastest time (48.04) and will swim in lane eight tonight.

The main favorite for gold is European record holder David Popovici. The Romanian was the only swimmer in the semifinals to go under 47 seconds (46.72). The 100m freestyle final starts at 6:52 PM.
