The event was won by Daniel Wiffen from Ireland, who set a world record, and the second place went to Frenchman David Aubry.
Earlier, Romanchuk had won a bronze medal in the 1500 meters freestyle. It's worth noting that Mykhailo Romanchuk is a silver and bronze medalist from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and a multiple-time medalist at world and European championships.
