Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu claimed the 100 IM title in 57.26, a bit off her own World Record (56.51) and Championship Record (56.70). The swim was still enough to edge out Japanese swimmer Runa Imai (57.85) for the win. Jamaica’s Alia Atkinson joined them on the podium after earning bronze with a time of 58.11.
American teammates Melanie Margalis (58.32) and Kathleen Baker (58.47) took fourth and fifth. Baker was first to the wall at fifty before finishing fifth. Australia’s Emily Seebohm (58.78), Finland’s Jenna Laukkanen (59.11) and Japan’s Rika Omoto (59.18) also competed in the final.
