Gorbenko heads into semifinals tonight as the top seed and will have another chance to improve upon her record. She now sits at #16 in the World so far this season in the event. She notably swam the event last summer at 2023 Worlds finishing 29th in a 1:08.66. The event was not in her lineup at 2024 Worlds when she won silver in the 400 IM.

Gorbenko has been on a roll lately, posting numerous Israeli National Records in the last month. She holds a total of 10 LCM national records. Just last night, she set the 200 freestyle record swimming a 1:56.74, helping the team’s 4×200 free relay to a European Title as well as a national record. She also has broken national records in the 200 back (2:08.54), 200 IM (2:08.55), and 400 IM (4:34.79).

She came into the meet as the top seed in both IM events and was the #4 seed in the 100 breast.

Update: Gorbenko has scratched the semifinal of the event.
