Another huge achievement for Israeli swimmer Anastasia Gurbanko Who competed last night (Thursday) along with her team Los Angeles Crant in the ISL’s final playoff competition before the finals. Gorbanko managed to break two Israeli records in the backstroke, out of five strokes to which she jumped in about an hour and a half.
It started from the 200 backstroke, when the Israeli set a time of 2: 05.36 minutes and broke the previous record that belonged to Aviv Barzali by more than a second and a half and stood at 2: 06.97, on the way to sixth place overall. She recorded the second record in the competition in her last jump into the water, in the 100 backstroke as the first in the mission. She swam 57.49 seconds and improved by almost a second her record from last year which stood at 58.34 seconds.
In between, she jumped three more times – on a free 4X100 mission she was a partner in LA’s third place with an intermediate time of 52.63 seconds, a few minutes later she jumped to 50 breasts and came in second place with 29.68 seconds, only 15 hundredths of the Israeli record.
Also in the 50 backstroke she was very close to the Israeli record with 26.69 seconds, only 6 hundredths of the record and eighth place in the ointment. At the end of the first day of competitions LA is ranked third, behind London Roar and Energy Standard.
