LONDON (Reuters) - Hungarian Laszlo Cseh powered to a convincing victory in the men’s 200 metres butterfly at the European Championships on Thursday and appeared relaxed about the possibility of an Olympic showdown with his nemesis Michael Phelps.

World champion Cseh led from start to finish to beat Denmark’s Viktor Bromer by 2.44 seconds, with Tamas Kenderesi taking third for Hungary on a great night for the central Europeans in the same London pool where they endured a disappointing 2012 Olympics.
