Over 50m backstroke: Bernese swimmer achieves bronze coup at European Short Course Championships

Bronze at the European Short Course Championships: Thierry Bollin. (ARCHIVE)

Bollin, who trains at Genève Natation, clocked 23.10 seconds, equaling the Swiss record set the day before. He took bronze with the victory of the Frenchman Mewen Tomac (22.84), tied with the Italian Lorenzo Mora.

Bollin was on the podium of international events at an early age. The first of two medals at the European Junior Championships also came as a surprise. In Israel in 2018, he won bronze in the 100 m backstroke and at the same time broke the Swiss elite record for this distance. The record holder on the long course over 100 and 200 m is now Roman Mityukov. In the 25 meter pool, however, the Bernese holds the national records for the 50 and 100 meters.

Bollin’s performance curve didn’t always point upward. Due to a period of depression, he missed the Olympic Games in Tokyo in the summer of 2021. (SDA)
