The men’s 50 breaststroke lit the pool on fire this morning as each country brought their A-Game to qualify.
Three individuals delivered matching times of 27.39 to create a three-way tie for sixteenth, creating the possibility of a swim-off to determine who continues on to tonight’s semi-finals.
Russia’s Vsevolod Zanko, Slovenia’s Peter Stevens, and the Netherlands’ Arno Kamminga each have a chance to move on, but will have to beat out the other two in a potential swim-off that would follow the conclusion of the men’s 800 free preliminary heats.
Swimming World will update this post as results become available.
