The Trojans had a huge week at the 2017 European Short Course Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark, last week, as current, incoming and former USC swimmers made it a Cardinal and Gold party.
 
Romanian freshman Robert Glinta came back with hardware after winning bronze in the 100m back in 49.99 after reaching the final with a 50.30 in the semifinals. He was also fifth in the 50m back (23.19) 0.14 out of first, 0.07 off the podium.
 
Swedish sophomore Louise Hansson also collected a medal, earning a silver as part of her country's 4x50m free relay, swimming the third leg.

Fellow USC international great Vladimir Morozov captured four medals, helping Russia win gold in the 4x50m free and medley relays and a silver in the 4x50m mixed free relay in addition to his gold in the 50m free (he was first through prelims and semifinals, too)
