Success did not immediately reach Schotten. “I am very happy. Of course you wish so, but I actually did not expect to get a medal here, ”says Bodegraven’s breaststroke specialist. Yesterday I was still missing a little bit of length in the stroke, so I tried to put that up a bit more today. My third turn wasn’t very good and then I thought about it no. But keep pushing, because on the last track I usually get a lot back.”

Marit Steenbergen won the bronze medal in the 100-meter freestyle. The 22-year-old Dutchman finished third in a personal best of 51.25 seconds. The world title went to Australian Olympic champion Emma McCune in a championship record of 50.77. Dethroned champion Siobhan Haughey of Hong Kong won the silver in 50.87.
