Salcuțan showcased her strength in the women's 200-metre backstroke, finishing 10th in the semifinals. Despite her placement, her recorded time was sufficient to qualify her for the Olympics. Likewise, Pavel Alovațchi competed in the men's 400-metre freestyle, where he finished 14th in the semifinals. However, his time proved to be fast enough to qualify him for the prestigious sporting event in Paris.
