Just 20 minutes after winning gold in the women’s 100 back, Katinka Hosszu was back in the pool for the 100 IM semis, and she easily finished first in a time of 57.64. That was almost a full second slower than her prelims time of 56.75, but she is still comfortably seeded first for the final.

Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom continued her busy evening, touching second in 59.40. Sjostrom missed the 50 fly final but did qualify for the next round in both the 100 free and now the 100 IM. Finland’s Jenna Laukkanen was just behind Sjostrom with a time of 59.43.

Norway’s Susann Bjornsen took fourth in 59.65, while Hungary’s Evelyn Verraszto (59.85), Israel’s Amit Ivri (59.98) and the Netherlands’ Marrit Steenbergen (59.98) also broke 1:00.

Austria’s Lena Kreundl was the last woman into the final at 1:00.14.
