Greece’s Andreas Vazaios finished in sixth place with a time of 51.80 in the final of the 100m mixed individual category at the 16th FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) 2022 in Victoria last week.

Apostolos Christou finished with a performance of 23.10 in the 50m backstroke race.

Greek swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev was eliminated from the final of the 50m freestyle. In order to qualify, he needed a time below 21.00. He finished with 21.08, in fifth place in his semi-final race and 10th overall.

Finally, 18-year-old Greek Cypriot Anna Hadjiloizou added another highly successful presence at the 25m swimming championships in Melbourne. Anna came second in the fifth qualifying series and 20th in the overall ranking, among 58 athletes.
