Christian vom Lehn (born April 14, 1992 in Wuppertal ) is a German swimmer and multiple youth and junior European champion as well as two-time German senior champion and bronze medalist at the 2011 swimming world championships .

Preferred swimming styles from Lehns are chest and recumbent positions , whereby he attests to a "back disease" (slower than in his specialty). In July 2010, he defended his European youth champion title in Helsinki, which he won the previous year in Prague (2: 11.07 min), in a time of 2: 12.93 min despite groin complaints over 200 meters chest .

Career

At the German Senior Swimming Championships in 2009 , at the age of seventeen, he had already won the bronze medal in 2: 13.65 minutes with a class record over the same distance. In Helsinki he also won two bronze medals: in the individual over 100 meters chest with a time of 1: 02.56 min and with the 4 × 100 meter relay together with Christian Diener (Cottbus), Melvin Herrmann (Dortmund) and Kevin Leithold (Bitterfeld). At the German Swimming Championships 2010 , the high school graduate won the silver medal in the 4 × 100 meter individual relay with his teammates Steffen Driesen , Björn Koch and Christoph Fildebrandt, but missed the norm for the EM 2010 in Hungary.

After longer breaks due to injuries, von Lehn triumphed at the German Swimming Championships 2011 in Berlin with two championship titles over his special courses. Over 100 meters chest he achieved 1: 00.51 min and won ahead of last year's winner Hendrik Feldwehr (1: 00.68 min). The 200 meters he put in 2: 08.97 minutes back, missed the even with the miracle suit floated German record of the intestinal dweller Marco Koch in 2009 (2: 08.38 min) only 59 hundredths of a second and won in front of the Leipzig Tony Wiegmann (2 : 14.67 min). With both times he undercut the strict qualification standards for the 2011 World Swimming Championships in Shanghai , with the 200-meter performance by 2.38 seconds (2: 11.35 min), which put him in second place on the world's best list of the year.

In Shanghai he then surprisingly won the bronze medal in 2: 09.06 min behind Hungary's Dániel Gyurta (2: 08.41 min) and Kōsuke Kitajima (2: 08.63 min), the gold medalist from Beijing and Athens.

In October 2012 he moved from SG Bayer Wuppertal / Uerdingen / Dormagen to SG Essen and back to his parent club in August 2016.
