European LC Championships 1997

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The European Long Course Championships 1997 in aquatics were held in Seville, Spain from Tuesday August 19 to Sunday August 24, in the 50m pool of the Piscina Centro Deportivo San Pablo. The 23rd edition of the event was organised by the LEN. Besides swimming there were titles contested in open water swimming, diving, synchronized swimming (women) and – for the last time – water polo.

The swimming championships resulted in two European records: Ágnes Kovács on the Women's 200m Breaststroke and Russia in the Men's 4x100m Freestyle Relay. Alexander Popov returned in competition after being stabbed down in Moscow, shortly after the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.
