The men’s 100 free semi-finals featured some young up-and-comers as well as some veterans into tomorrow’s final at the 2017 FINA World Championships in Budapest. France’s Mehdy Metella had the fastest time of the semi-finals with a 47.65 just ahead of Americans Caeleb Dressel (47.66) and Nathan Adrian (47.85).

The Australian duo of Cameron McEvoy (47.95) and Jack Cartwright (47.97) will also have a good chance at the medals along with Britain’s Duncan Scott (48.10). Ukraine’s Sergii Shevtsov (48.30) and Brazil’s Marcelo Chierighini (48.31) round out the top eight.

McEvoy is gonna make it, he seems to be the fastest on those last 15 meters.
