Making it onto the podium tonight with the silver medal in the women’s 200m breaststroke was Lisa Mamie of Switzerland.

Earning her nation’s first-ever European Championships medal in this women’s event, Mamie stopped the clock in a time of 2:22.05 to place in the runner-up slot behind winner Molly Renshaw of Great Britain. Renshaw topped the field in a time of 2:21.34 while Russia’s Yuliya Efimova rounded out the top 3 in 2:22.16.

For Mamie, her previous personal best headed into this meet was represented by the 2:24.47 she produced in August of 2020 at that year’s Sette Colli Trophy. Already in the semi-finals here in Budapest, the 22-year-old put up a swim of 2:23.15 to lower that by more than a second. That result was comprised of splits of 1:09.15/1:14.00 for a new Swiss record.

Tonight, Mamie opened in a swifter 1:08.71 and closed in 1:13.34  for her 2:22.05, further separating herself from the past Swiss performers in this event.

Mamie also contested the 100m breaststroke here, nearly posting another national record with a time of 1:06.77. Her Swiss standard sits at 1:06.60 from the aforementioned Sette Colli. Mamie finished 12th here in that 100m breaststroke event.
