Pelendritou sets third new world record in just two days at the IDM in Berlin

Cypriot Paralympic gold medalist Karolina Pelendritou set a third new world record within just two days at the IDM Berlin 2014, the International Idm Schwimmen Meeting for swimmers with an impairment.

On Saturday, Pelendritou, who is visually impaired, set her third new world record at the finals for 50 meters breaststroke in the SB 12 category (34:87), after having set a world record earlier in the day at the semifinals for 50 meters breaststroke (34:91).

On Friday, Pelendritou set her first new world record in Berlin for the 200m breaststroke (2:50:01).

The IDM is one of the top events in the world and is considered a `dress rehearsal` for the European Swimming Championship in the Summer, where Pelendritou will defend her European Champion title.
