ISSC-Pursuit-Race At the ISSC-Pursuit-Race everyone of the qualified swimmers starts with a certain delay. Relevant for the starting order and the delay are the qualifiing times of all qualified swimmers. Thus every swimmer gets its individual start signal by an optical device (one for each lane). Example If the swimmers (four male, four female) have qualified for the ISSC-Pursuit- Race with following times swimmer A (female) 2:23,94 swimmer A (male) 2:06,74 swimmer B (female) 2:27,50 swimmer B (male) 2:09,69 swimmer C (female) 2:39,42 swimmer C (male) 2:28,39 swimmer D (female) 2:06,64 swimmer D (male) 1:53,65 they start in the following order with the given delays: 1. swimmer C (female) 2. swimmer C (male) (11,03 seconds after the previous swimmer) 3. swimmer B (female) (0,89 seconds after the previous swimmer) 4. swimmer A (female) (3,56 seconds after the previous swimmer) 5. swimmer B (male) (14,25 seconds after the previous swimmer) 6. swimmer A (male) (2,95 seconds after the previous swimmer) 7. swimmer Dfemale) (0,10 seconds after the previous swimmer) 8. swimmer D (male) (12,99 seconds after the previous swimmer) Two different ISSC-Pursuit-Races are performed (#1 und #2): The fastest swimmers of the events 3 (17), 4 (18), 7 (19), 8 (20), 15 (21), 16 (22), 11 (23) und 12 (24) (200m,, and butterfly) qualify For the ISSC-Pursuit-Race #1 (if there are identical times the finalist is chosen by lot).
