Andrej Barna won the silver medal in the 50-meter freestyle at the European Championships in Paris.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The swimmer from Subotica, who lives and works in the United States, lived up to his status as one of the favorites. In the final, he put together a phenomenal race and claimed silver with a national record of 21.37 seconds. He improved by seven hundredths of a second on the time he posted at last year’s World Championships in Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gold medal went to 19-year-old Ukrainian Shermet, who finished in 21.13, while top favorite Russian Kornev recorded the exact same time as the outstanding Serbian swimmer. Renowned swimmer Krist\u00f3f Mil\u00e1k finished fourth in 21.46.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two years ago, at the European Championships in Belgrade, Barna was part of the European championship-winning 4×100-meter freestyle relay team, while he won bronze in the individual 100-meter freestyle. He has now completed his collection of continental medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He competed at the Olympic Games in Tokyo and Paris, where he narrowly missed out on reaching the final in the 100-meter freestyle, while last year he finished sixth in the world in the 50-meter freestyle in Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to holding the Serbian national record in the 50-meter freestyle, he also holds the country’s best result in the 100-meter freestyle, with a time of 47.66 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
