\t\t\t\t\t2025 GERMAN SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS<\/p>\n
On the heels of the Berlin Swim Open and the Gaether & Friends swim meets, the 2025 German Swimming Championships began tonight in Berlin.<\/p>\n
This competition marks an additional qualification opportunity for athletes to add their names to the nation\u2019s roster for this summer\u2019s World Championships, although German athletes were able to qualify for Singapore at any World Aquatics-approved competition from April 7th through May 4th.<\/p>\n

She now bumps herself up several spots in the world rankings to take over slot #3.<\/p>\n View Top 26\u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n Behind Gose this evening was improving starlet\u00a0Maya Werner<\/a><\/strong> who registered a silver medal-worthy 4:06.04 as the only other sub-4:10 swimmer.<\/p>\n Werner\u2019s effort shaved .30 off her previous lifetime best of 4:06.34 logged just last week at the Gothaer & Friends meet. She now froghops Leonie Kullmann to become Germany\u2019s #3 performer ever.<\/p>\n Top 5 German Women\u2019s LCM 400 Free Performers All-Time<\/strong><\/p>\n Additional swiwmers made their marks in the men\u2019s 400m IM and 100m fly events, with the races accumulating multiple qualifiers.<\/p>\n In the former, UIndy\u2019s\u00a0Cedric B\u00fcssing<\/a><\/strong> put up a season-best of 4:13.56 to clear the field decisively, dipping under the German Swimming Federation QT of 4:15.50.<\/p>\n The Olympian\u2019s lifetime best remains at the 4:11.52 registered at last year\u2019s Olympic Games.<\/p>\n The 1fly saw a trio of finishers clear the 52-second threshold, led by 23-year-old Luca Armbruster<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Armbruster busted out a podium-topping 51.21, a significant new personal best.<\/p>\n Entering this competition, Armbruster\u2019s PB rested at the 51.68 posted at last year\u2019s championships.<\/p>\n However, splitting 23.60\/27.61 this evening, Armbruster came just .02 shy of Steffen Deibler<\/a><\/strong>\u2018s longstanding German record of 51.19 put on the books in 2013.<\/p>\n Right behind Armruster was\u00a0Josha Salchow<\/a><\/strong>, who has been training and racing in Australia for the past several months.<\/p>\n Salchow ripped a time of 51.28 to snag the silver, dipping under the 52-second barrier for the first time in his carreer.<\/p>\n His previous PB checked in at the 52.50 earned in Brisbane last year.<\/p>\n The pair now represents Germany\u2019s #2 and #3 all-time performers.<\/p>\n Austria\u2019s\u00a0Simon Bucher<\/a><\/strong> scored bronze this evening in 51.77.<\/p>\n Top 5 German Men\u2019s LCM 100 Butterfly Performers All-Time<\/strong><\/p>\n Additional Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n German World Championships qualifiers<\/strong><\/p>\n * Qualified at these German Championships<\/p>\n Oliver Klemet<\/a>, 7:44.92<\/p>\n Sven Schwarz<\/a>, 7:46.01<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Sven Schwarz<\/a>, 14:52.62<\/p>\n Johannes Liebmann, 14:57.00<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Josha Salchow<\/a>, 51.28*<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n 2<\/td>\n Lani
