The United States has opted to rest 200 free finalists Katie Ledecky and Leah Smith, along with 100 free participants Mallory Comerford and Simone Manuel. The prelims team will consist of Melanie Margalis, Cierra Runge, Madisyn Cox and Hali Flickinger.
It’s unclear who the Americans plan to insert into the finals lineup, although Ledecky and Smith can be considered locks.
Australia will rest Emma McKeon, who tied for silver with Ledecky in the 200 free, while Li Bingjie and Ai Yanhan sit out for China. All figure to be added in the evening.
Canada, which won Olympic bronze last year in Rio, will rest Penny Oleksiak in the morning, and she figures to join the finals squad.
