OSTROWIEC, Poland, April 3. ZUZANNA Mazurek not only crushed the Polish record in the women's 200 back at the Polish Championships, she also cleared the FINA A cut Olympic qualifying time.
Mazurek completed the swim with a time of 2:12.65 to smash the previous national record of 2:14.43 set by Aleksandra Miciul in 2000.
Tomasz Rumianowski came within a second of a 12-year-old national record in the men's 200 back when he hit the wall in 2:00.81. However, Bartosz Sikora's 1996 standard of 2:00.05 set at the Athens Games held firm.
Pawel Korzeniowski nearly broke his national record in the men's 200 fly with a time of 1:54.41. His 1:54.38 from the European Championships last month held firm, however.
Agata Korc, the national record holder in the women's 50 free with a 25.25 from 2006, wound up short of her standard with a winning time of 25.52.
Meanwhile, Mateusz Czarnota walked away with the men's 800 free title in 8:33.08, while Agnieszka Gapinska won the women's 200 fly in 2:14.37.
