With SwimNews. Some European records set in 2008 at the Beijing Games, up to the beginning of 2009, are not ratified because of some irregularities in filling the LEN documentation.
In some cases the national federations did not fill out the paperwork and send it to LEN.
The full list of long-course performances that will not be ratified is as follows:
- Federica Pellegrini (ITA) - 200m free - 1:54.47: the European record remains hers at 1:54.82 from Beijing 2008
- Yulia Efimova (RUS) - 100m breaststroke - 1:06.08 in Beijing 2008): record remains at 1:07.10 to Sarah Poewe (GER) from German Olympic trials, Berlin, April 2008
- Yuri Prilukov (RUS) - 1,500m free - 14:41.13 from the heats at the Olympic Games: record will stand as 14:43.21 set by same swimmer in the final in Beijing 2008 (the official Olympic result will forever have the letters ER next to that performance even though the time will never count as such)
- Russia - 4x200m freestyle - 7:03.70: record will stand to Italy at 7:07.84 (Cassio, Belotti, Brembilla, Rosolino - Beijing, 2008)
- Russia - 4x100m medley - 3:31.92 (Vyatchanin, Sludnov, Korotyshkin, Lagunov): the record remains at 3:34.25 (Vyatchanin, Falko, Korotyshkin, Grechin) from European Champs in Eindhoven, March 2008
Moreover, there are also some short-course marks that were never ratified, altering the historic progression list of European records.
