The Netherlands’ Kira Toussaint posted the top seed in the semi-finals of the women’s 100 back, stopping the clock at 56.80 in semi-final No. 1. That was good enough to beat out the mark posted by Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu in the second semi.
Hosszu, fresh off winning gold in the 400 IM, touched in 56.88, and she was well ahead of Russia’s Maria Kameneva (57.45) and Ukraine’s Daryna Zevina (57.79).
It took a time of 57.79 or better to make the final, with Denmark’s Mie Nielsen (57.71), France’s Mathilde Cini (57.73), the Czech Republic’s Simona Baumrtova (57.79) and Poland’s Alicja Tchorz (57.79) getting in.
Italy’s Federica Pellegrini, competing in the meet although not in her traditional 200 free, missed the final with a 10th-place time of 57.98.
