- Women’s 200 Breast
- Men’s 200 Breast
- Women’s 800 Free Relay
The newly minted 100 free world record holder is the highlight of the women’s 100 free. Sarah Sjostrom is entered with her pre-WR time of 52.08, putting the hold world on watch to see if she can post another sub-52 second swim. Additional highlights to the 100 free include dual-Olympic gold medalists Penny Oleksiak and Simone Manuel.
Ryan Murphy will look to back up his Olympic gold medal with a World Championship gold with a top seed time in the men’s 200 back. It won’t be easy though as he will have stiff competition from Russia’s Evgeny Rylov, Australia’s Mitch Larkin, and China’s Xu Jiayu to name a few.
A short four heats make up the prelims of the women’s 200 breast, led by 100 breast bronze medalist Yulia Efimova. She may hold the top seed, but Australia’s Taylor Mckeown and Denmark’s Rikke Pedersen enter as the second and third fastest.
The men will follow up with five 200 breast heats of their own with the top two seeds owned by Japan’s Yasuhiro Koseki and Ippei Watanabe.
The morning will conclude with the preliminary heats of the women’s 800 free.
