Serbian swimmer Nadja Higl has been on a series of winning results, with the latest success coming from the short-course World Cup in Sweden, where Higl won the gold. She also managed to swim the national record in the 200m breaststroke event 2:18. 54.
Following her win at the World Cup in Durban, South Africa, this has come as yet another gold medal for Higl in her preparations for the European short course Championships to take place 10 through 13 December in Istanbul.
Higl was far from being euphoric after the magnificent result, leaving behind European record-holder Rikke Moller-Pedersen of Denmark.
- I am pleased with the result as everything went fine. I swam the best that I could and my style proved to be enough for a win. To be perfectly honest, ahead of the race I hadnt believed I could enter the top three because my opponents were excellent swimmers, says Higl.
The Serbian fell just short of breaking the European record.
- I talked with my brother about how I should swim, and I did everything the way wed agreed and it seems even he was a bit stunned with the result I achieved. Now we are moving on and focusing on the European Championships in Istanbul, said the reigning 200m breaststroke world champion.
