A trio of swimmers all turned in 4:07s this morning to get qualifying off on the right foot. \u00a0Women’s 200 free victory Federica Pellegrini, the European record holder with a former world-record 3:59.15 from 2009, topped the heats with a 4:07.09 this morning. \u00a0She’s already ranked sixth this year with a 4:04.56 from the Italian Spring Nationals, and will need that type of speed to handle the likes of Mireia Belmonte Garcia.<\/p>\n
Belmonte Garcia, the second-fastest swimmer in the world this year with a 4:03.84 from Spanish Nationals, took second this morning in 4:07.12 in the same heat as Pellegrini, and should turn it up a notch in finals. \u00a0Sharon Rouwendaal posted a Netherlands record with a 4:07.59 for third in the heats.<\/p>\n
Great Britain’s Jazz Carlin (4:08.17), Hungary’s Boglarka Kapas (4:09.17), Spains’ Melanie Costa Schmid (4:09.59), Denmark’s Lotte Friis (4:09.75) and Italy’s Diletta Carli (4:09.84) all broke 4:10 to make the finale. \u00a0The Iron Lady Katinka Hosszu decided to scratch the event.<\/p>\n
