The second day of finals continued to showcase jaw-dropping results at the 2019 FINA World Championships. Similar to day one, day two saw another young and rising star out-touch a veteran athlete in the pool.

Throughout the entirety of the finals session, Swimming World photographer Becca Wyant was on deck capturing the action and excitement, while Swimming World’s Craig Lord, John Lohn, Liz Byrnes and Andy Ross reported on the action.

Yulia Efimova traded Lilly King for the top spot going into tomorrow night’s with a top showing of 1:05.56 in the women’s 100 breast, while Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu made history for herself in the women’s 200 IM by claiming a fourth straight win in the 200 IM.
