Katinka Hosszu powered to a top qualifying time of 4:33.90 in prelims of the women’s 400 IM, but not without some challengers pushing her forward. Throughout the third heat the USA’s Elizabeth Beisel, Japan’s Sakiko Shimizu, and Spain’s Mireia Belmonte all made advances on Hosszu’s lead, with Shimizu blitzing past her on the breaststroke leg.
A strong final 100 meters would push Hosszu to the wall first, followed by a strong finish from Belmonte at 4:35.29.
Beisel, who continually worked her way up throughout the heat, turned in a final time of 4:36.18 to claim the third place seed for tonight’s final.
Sydney Pickrem of Canada picked up the fourth place seed after finishing first in heat two with a 4:36.25, while Shimizu qualified fifth overall with a 4:36.43.
The USA’s Leah Smith (4:36.94), Japan’s Yui Ohashi (4:36.97), and Great Britain’s Hannah Miley (4:37.14) qualified sixth through eighth respectively.
