Roman Mityukov lowered his national 200 back mark and Antoine Viquerat made it six records in as many races as the Swiss Short Course Championships wrapped up in Lausanne.
Mityukov – the Olympic bronze medallist – had already claimed a trifecta of titles in the 50/100 back and 50 free before he stood up for the 200.
There he stopped the clock at 1:49.93, 0.73 inside his own Swiss record of 1:50.66 with Flavio Bucca also confirming his Beijing slot in 1:53.78. Flavio Straub was third in 1:57.26.
Viquerat enjoyed a record-breaking final day in Lausanne as he concluded his first outing in Swiss colours with six records. The 28-year-old lowered the 100m breaststroke record with a 57.60 prelims swim before returning to cut a further 0.41 in 57.19.
Viquerat swept the breaststroke treble with records in each prelim and final, lowering the 50 to 26.41 and the 200 to 2:03.83, as he made his Swiss debut following his switch from France.
Noè Ponti followed up his European 200 fly record with victory in the 50 in 21.80.
With his 48.25secs victory in the 100 m butterfly and 964 AQUA points, Ponti secured the best individual male performance of the meet. Séraphine Hoigné of the Bern Swimming Club achieved the highest women’s score of 803pts following her 30.51 performance in the 50m breaststroke.
