Lütolf swims through to final

Remo Lütolf will be going for gold in the final Keystone

Switzerland's Remo Lütolf has qualified for the 50 metre breaststroke final in the world short course swimming championships in Moscow.

The St Gallen swimmer clocked a time of 27″44 seconds coming in behind the Ukraine’s Oleg Lisogor and Brazil’s Eduardo Fischer.

It was bad news however for teammate Lorenz Liechti, who failed to qualify for the 4 x 100 metres. The Basel boy finshed in eight place in a time of 56″21 seconds.

It was a similar story for the Swiss women, who were racing in the 4 x 100 metre relay final. Dominique Diezi, Nicole Zahnd, Sandrine Paquier and Caroline Steffan finished in seventh place in a combined time of 3’45″17.
