Luka Mladenovic has won the bronze medal in the 200-meter breaststroke at the European Swimming Championships in Paris. This marks the biggest success so far for the 22-year-old swimmer from Salzburg, who has garnered attention for his performance on the international stage.

With this medal, Mladenovic achieved Austria's first podium finish at the long-course European Championships. There has been significant media attention on the fact that the swimmer works with a U.S. coach who previously trained swimming legends like Michael Phelps and Leon Marchand. This suggests that his career may continue to rise.
