Water sprinter Patrick Hausding has reached the final of the one-meter board at the swimming World Championships after a nerve-racking preliminary fight. The record European champion qualified in ninth place in Gwangju on Friday in non-Olympic competition with 357.20 points for the decision among the top twelve artificial jumpers on Monday. His 22-year-old team-mate Frithjof Seidel collected his 34th World Cup experience and missed the final on Sunday. The first preliminary fight of the title fights won the Chinese Wang Zongyuan with 429.40 points.
"It was a pretty nerve-wracking, so having an unfortunate season like mine so far will make you more and more nervous," Hausding said. But the 30-year-old played out his routine and fought his way forward with the three and a halffold somersault in the third of six rounds "back in the race". No twelfth before the last round, no one wants, "said Hausding, who in." That was a bit of tournament horse South Korea still starts in singles and in synchronized jumping from the three-meter board.
"We made it extra so that he takes the one-meter competition to jump in," said coach Lutz Buschkow. Hausding has been through a difficult season so far due to injury, and he was slowed by a middle ear infection shortly before the World Cup. "He can take a mental strength," Buschkow said after the preliminary fight.

That's not my claim. I want to get a medal. "
European champion Wellbrock wants to start at the World Championships in South Korea initially over ten kilometers in the open water in Yeosu and then swim in the pool races over 800 and 1,500 meters.
Asked whether free-water swimmers are a special swimmer, Wellbrock said: "I would say they are looser." For open-water swimming, the tension before take-off is not so high, because until it really matters, you have one more hour Time." For example, Dutch Olympic champion Ferry Weertman "for a while always jumped in with a bombshell and I'm waiting for the day when a 1,500 meter swimmer jumps into the water with an ass bomb." Nobody can afford that. "
Wellbrock would recommend any long-distance swimmer in the pool to try open water swimming. "I would say that you get harder with open water swimming."
Swimming ten kilometers is a mental challenge, said the Magdeburger Wellbrock. For him, especially the last 100 meters made the open water swimming. You can not compare that to the pain you have in the pelvis, I do not want to say that the open water is more exhausting, but it's a different kind of pain Feeling is already helpful for pelvic swimming.

Biedermann can not remember the Rome races. "I remember feeling good in the 400-meter freestyle lead, but I can not even remember the preparations for the finale or the day after that, how wiped out," he said. "It was so overwhelming, and after the successes, so much was pouring in on me that it seemed like I was in a frenzy, and I do not even remember what I said afterwards."
The world championship triumphs were for Biedermann at that time "an enormous door opener". "The success of 2009 has allowed me to do my sport as a professional," he explains. And not only for him were the consequences noticeable: "Even my grandmother had to give many interviews."

+++ 04.07.2019: Ex-national coach Lambertz criticized successors in the Swimming Association +++
Former swimming national coach Henning Lambertz rejects the practice of his successors to let the best swimmers work individually with their own coaches. "This works, but must never replace a clearly organized and structured system," criticized Lambertz in the "Rheinische Post" (Thursday). Never could such a healthy and long-term successful float company arise. "Isolated solutions should not be the basic idea of a head coach," said Lambertz.
The 48-year-old resigned in December 2018 after six years in the office of the national coach. Three weeks later, the German Swimming Association Bernd Berkhahn and Hannes Vitense had used as responsible for the national team. Lambertz has been working as a teacher at a junior high school in Wuppertal since 1 February.
The ex-coach vehemently criticized the current conditions in the association. "At the moment, it's a little bit like this: Everyone is allowed to do what they want, which is not enough for me personally, because we've lived that way in the past, without success," said Lambertz. Season highlight of the swimmers are the World Championships from 12 to 28 July in Gwangju, South Korea.

Thanks to a wildcard from national coach Lutz Buschkow, the Olympic Fifth of 2016 and the Olympic Eighth of 2012 can still make it to the World Cup this year from 12 to 28 July in Gwangju in South Korea - if health is involved.
In contrast, the multiple European Championship medalist Stephan Feck after the effects of his herniated disc has to write off the World Cup in a month. With the ailing Elena Wassen one year before Olympia the recovery process must be waited. That's why she could not start at the German Championships. After injury problems, Olympic medalist Patrick Hausding is always better at the World Cup form, which he documented with two other DM titles.
The World Cup in South Korea is also about Olympic starting places. Shortly after the World Championships, the European Championship will be in Kiev from 5 to 11 August.
