The defending champion qualified third for tonight\u2019s final with a 4:12.17.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chase Kalisz<\/strong>, the 2013 silver medalist in the event, is the top qualifier with a 4:11.83. This was Kalisz\u2019s first swim of the meet, waiting through seven days of competition to finally race. He had a close race with Hungary\u2019s <strong>David Verraszto<\/strong>, who posted a 4:11.99 in Kalisz\u2019s heat.<\/p>\n<p>USA\u2019s <strong>Tyler Clary<\/strong> got into the final with a 4:12.22 for fourth. <strong>Daniel Wallace<\/strong> of Great Britain, the reigning Commonwealth Games champion, was fifth overall in 4:13.07. Rounding out the top eight are: <strong>Jacob Heidtmann<\/strong> of Germany (4:13.62), <strong>Roberto Pavoni<\/strong> of Great Britain (4:13.91) and <strong>Yang Zhixian<\/strong> of China (4:15.47).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Women\u2019s 400 IM<\/strong><br \/>\nHungary\u2019s <strong>Katinka Hosszu<\/strong> is looking to add a gold medal bookend to her world championships experience and sweep the IMs. She led the field with a 4:32.78 in a smooth and controlled swim. She chased <strong>Ye Shiwen\u2019s<\/strong> world record of 4:28.43 in winning the 2013 title, and will be looking for an IM world record sweep after her 2:06.12 from the 200 IM on Monday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Barbara Zavadova<\/strong> of the Czech Republic qualified second with a 4:35.60, breaking her national record. Canada\u2019s <strong>Emily Overholt<\/strong>, who was disqualified in this event at the Pan American Games last month for an illegal touch, got through to finals with a 4:35.86 for third overall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hannah Miley<\/strong> of Great Britain and <strong>Maya DiRado<\/strong> of the United States tied for the win in heat three with matching times of 4:36.11 to tie for fourth place in qualifying. Behind them in the remaining places for the final will be: Japan\u2019s <strong>Sakiko Shimizu<\/strong> (4:36.16), Great Britain\u2019s <strong>Aimee Willmott<\/strong> (4:36.82) and France\u2019s <strong>Lara Grangeon<\/strong> (4:38.20).<\/p>\n<p>Shiwen finished 15th overall with a 4:42.96, while American <strong>Elizabeth Beisel<\/strong>, the 2011 world champion, placed 12th in 4:38.96.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Men\u2019s 400 medley relay<\/strong><br \/>\nA disqualification by Hungary was good news for Russia, as it gave the host country a spot in the finals of the men\u2019s 400 medley relay. Breaststroker <strong>Daniel Gyurta<\/strong> left the blocks .19 too early, resulting in the DQ.<\/p>\n<p>The United States team of <strong>Matt Grevers<\/strong> (52.85), <strong>Cody Miller<\/strong> (59.23), <strong>Tim Phillips<\/strong> (51.03) and <strong>Ryan Lochte<\/strong> (47.95) put the Americans at the top of a close group of eight with a 3:31.06. Right behind in a previous heat was Australia with a 3:31.86. The United States will go with an entirely different group of four, while Australia used double backstroke champion <strong>Mitch Larkin<\/strong> in their relay.<\/p>\n<p>France appeared to use its fastest swimmers in each stroke to qualify third with a 3:32.51, while Japan also put in its top athletes to post the fourth-fastest time with a 3:32.82.<\/p>\n<p>Germany (3:32.94), Great Britain (3:33.37), Poland (3:33.50) and Russia (3:34.02) rounded out the top eight. Russia will make up some ground with the likely addition of <strong>Vlad Morozov<\/strong> to freestyle in the finals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Women\u2019s 400 medley relay<\/strong><br \/>\nChina, the country that owns the meet record with a 3:52.19 from the 2009 world championships, goes in as the top seed in the meet\u2019s final event with a 3:57.04. <strong>Fu Yuanhui<\/strong> (59.24), <strong>Shi Jinglin<\/strong> (1:06.35), <strong>Chen Xinyi<\/strong> (57.42) and <strong>Qiu Yuhan<\/strong> (54.03) contributed to the top-seeded time.<\/p>\n<p>The United States will take lane five for the final, with their world record of 3:52.05 in sight. <strong>Kathleen Baker<\/strong> (59.98), <strong>Micah Lawrence<\/strong> (1:07.10), <strong>Kendyl Stewart<\/strong> (56.86) and <strong>Margo Geer<\/strong> (53.18) did their part to get a lane for the USA. All four will likely be replaced in tonight\u2019s final be the faster swimmers in each stroke.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden used <strong>Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong> on butterfly, so expect them to be in the hunt and exceed the 3:57.29 the foursome posted this morning for third overall. Australia will also make big improvements in the final with <strong>Emily Seebohm<\/strong> and one of the Campbell sisters set to swim tonight. Australia qualified fourth with a 3:57.95.<\/p>\n<p>Denmark used its top swimmers to qualify fifth with a 3:58.38. Canada (3:59.02), Great Britain (4:00.02) and Japan (4:00.43) also got into the final.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/results\/2015-fina-world-championships-prelims-day-8-day-8\/international-elite\/2015\/August\/2\" target=\"_blank\">2015 FINA World Championships Prelims, Day 8 &#8211; Results<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything you need to follow along with day eight prelims live during the 2015 FINA World Championships.
