ISL - Long Katinka took third place

The defending Energy Standard won the latest meeting of the short-distance battle at the Danube Arena ahead of the Tokyo Frog Kings, Iron and Toronto Titans.

The three-time Olympic champion finished third in a Long 200-meter butterfly, 4th in a 400-meter mix and eighth in a 100-meter mix. His teammate Lobanovsky Maxim collected a sixth place at a speed of 10 meters.

The defending energy standard was Zsuzsanna Jakabos, who finished fifth in the 200-meter butterfly and 400-meter mix.

The best result of the day was provided by Brazilian Nicholas Santos, who was just three centuries behind his own world record (21.75 seconds) on a 50-meter butterfly.

In a round of ISL series, four teams compete against each other at once. According to the organization, 12-12 male and female swimmers can take part in one competition in each team, but two more competitors can be deployed in relays. Two swimmers per club compete in a number, the teams get points based on their rankings, so the final order is formed.

In individual numbers, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 points can be scored basically - however, if someone wins with a certain advantage, they can rob points with others - while the bills have a double multiplier. And in the so-called spark race, in which the riders have to swim three times in a row three times in a row, but the field is halved at each end, you can even triple.

The second season of the series will take place behind closed doors due to the coronavirus epidemic, with the participation of ten teams in the Danube Arena. Athletes arriving in Hungary must live in a "bubble", similar to the American sports leagues (NHL, NBA). Ten rounds will be held in the regular season, followed by the semi-finals and the final.
