2026 European Championships: Day 7 Prelims Relay Lineups - Men’s 4×100 Medley

The men's 4×100 medley relay preliminary heats are underway at the 2026 European Championships in Paris, France. ### Teams Competing in the Men's 4×100 Medley Relay Several teams have been announced for the men's 4×100 medley relay preliminary heats. Italy will be competing with a near-full strength team, resting only Thomas Ceccon. The team features Nicolo Martinenghi on breaststroke, who won the individual 50 and 100 meters, and Carlos D'Ambrosio on freestyle, the world junior champion. Michele Busa is a 51-mid swimmer on fly but could make way for Alberto Razzetti, who finished 9th individually in the 100 fly, depending on his performance this morning. Great Britain has opted for a couple of lineup options that presage tonight's final relay. National record holder Ollie Morgan will be swimming backstroke despite failing to make the individual semi-finals yesterday. Jack Skerry is in tonight's final while Matt Ward beat Morgan in the heats as well, so he could be swimming for a finals spot here. ### Neutral Athletes and Other Teams Neutral Athletes B will be competing with Pavel Samusenko on the leadoff, so it may well be Georgey Iakovlev swimming the final tonight after he was their top swimmer in the 100 back semi-finals last night. Kliment Kolesnikov led off the mixed medley relay on day 2, but failed to make the individual semi-finals. France will lead off with Mewen Tomac, who has been 52.9 twice now at this meet, and have a rookie back half in Amaury Albar and Cedric Gabali, although both have looked solid so far this week. Spain put national record holder Luca Hoek Le Guenedal on the anchor and lead off with individual 50 back finalist Ivan Martinez Sota. Germany has put out a relatively strong team with probably their top option on each leg. Cornelius Jahn leads off, Melvin Imoudu swims breaststroke, and national record holders Kaii Winkler and Joshua Salchow bring them home. ### Heat Lineups The heat lineups for the men's 4×100 medley relay preliminary heats are as follows: - Heat 1: Switzerland, Neutral Athletes A, Italy - Heat 2: Ukraine, Lithuania, Denmark, Poland, Sweden, Germany, Romania, Austria, Iceland - Heat 3: Spain, France, Croatia, Great Britain, Latvia, Neutral Athletes B, Greece, Israel, Ireland The teams will compete in the preliminary heats to determine the top eight teams that will advance to the final relay tonight.
