At this year's European Ice Swimming Championships in Molveno (Italy), our athlete Alisa
Fatum-Böker impressively demonstrated her international class. The title fights took place at a symbolic
location: Molveno lies between the venues of the currently running Winter Olympics in
Milano and Cortina d'Ampezzo. The European Championships were deliberately placed in this environment and parallel to the
Olympic events in order to present ice swimming as a possible future Olympic sport
and make it internationally visible.
The Olympic Games were ceremoniously opened on Friday, and just one day later - yesterday, Saturday -
the European Ice Swimming Championships came to a successful conclusion. The event set a strong sporting example right from the start
and acted as a calling card for the further development of
ice swimming at the highest international level.
Four times gold in the open class
Our athlete secured a total of four European championship titles:
- 100 m butterfly
- 250 m freestyle
- 500 m freestyle
- 1000 m freestyle
