Men’s 100 Back Semi-Finals
The men’s 100 back proved to be a tight and exciting race as three athletes posted sub-55 second swims to lead the top eight into tomorrows finals.
Ireland’s Conor Ferguson sprung off the start with a sizzling 0.42 second reaction time, more than a tenth faster than the rest of the competition. Despite his strong start and swift first 50-meters (26.41), he did not claim the top seed. That honor went to Spain’s Hugo Gonzalez, who delivered the fastest second 50-meters (27.92) out of the entire field to claim the top seed with a 54.43. Ferguson grabbed the second place seed with a time of 54.53.
Picking up the third place seed was Romania’s Daniel Martin and his time of 54.62, followed by the USA’s Nicolas Albiero and Drew Kibler. The two posted qualifying times of 55.04 and 55.37 to return as fourth and fifth.
Poland’s Kacper Stokowski (55.44), Russia’s Nikita Tretyakov (55.45), and Great Britain’s Nicholas Pyle (55.48) rounded out the top eight qualifiers.
