Australia’s Melanie Wright<\/strong> turned in the top time of the women’s 100 free with a time of 53.86. \u00a0That’s just half-a-second off her seventh-ranked season best of 53.50 from Australian Nationals.<\/p>\n

Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu<\/strong> claimed her fifth medal of the meet with a second-place time of 54.40, while USA’s Felicia Lee<\/strong> finished in the money with a third-place time of 55.22<\/p>\n

France’s Anna Santamans<\/strong> (55.26), Czech’s Anna Kolarova<\/strong> (55.51), Luxembourg’s Julie Meynen<\/strong> (55.91), China’s Tang Yi<\/strong> (55.97), and Russia’s Daria Ustinova<\/strong> (56.92) closed out the heat.<\/p>\n

Men’s 200 free<\/strong><\/p>\n

James Guy<\/strong>, the top-ranked swimmer in the world with a 1:45.14 from Worlds, raced his way to the top of the 200 free finale in 1:47.06.<\/p>\n

Guy had to overtake Serbia’s Velimir Stjepanovic<\/strong>, who jumped out to an early lead before fading to second in 1:47.56.<\/p>\n

USA’s Maxime Rooney<\/strong> grabbed third-place honors in a time of 1:48.15.<\/p>\n

Women’s 50 breast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jamaica’s Alia Atkinson<\/strong> claimed her second medal of the meet with a winning time of 30.55 in the sprint breast. \u00a0That’s half-a-second back of her third-ranked season best of 30.11 from Worlds.<\/p>\n

South Africa’s Chad le Clos<\/strong> remained on fire with his fourth gold medal of the meet as he clocked a 51.44 in the 100 fly.<\/p>\n

Le Clos has to be kicking himself for not swimming in the Tokyo leg of this cluster as he likely cost himself at least five figures with a likely top three finish in the cluster.<\/p>\n

USA’s Tom Shields<\/strong> turned in a 52.10 to earn the second-place paycheck, while Australia’s Christopher Wright<\/strong> finished third in 52.50.<\/p>\n

Australia’s Emily Seebohm<\/strong> detonated a loaded field in the women’s 100-meter backstroke at the 2015 FINA World Cup Doha stop with a stunning time of 58.34.<\/p>\n

That swim fell just short of her top-ranked time of 58.26 from Worlds, and demonstrated just how consistent she has become at throwing down 58-lows in competition as it is the sixth-fastest time ever.<\/p>\n

Men’s 50 back<\/strong><\/p>\n

USA’s David Plummer<\/strong> and Australia’s Mitch Larkin<\/strong> managed to tie in the sprint back with matching times of 24.70.<\/p>\n

Both times are in the top 10 in the world this year. Larkin already owns a fifth-ranked 24.65 from Worlds, while Plummer vaulted into a seventh-ranked tie with Jeremy Stravius in the rankings.<\/p>\n

Hungary’s Zsuzsanna Jakabos<\/strong> raced her way to gold in the women’s 200-meter fly with a time of 2:08.47.<\/p>\n

That swim fell well shy of her 11th-ranked season best of 2:07.11 from the Chartres stop of the World Cup, but still managed to be more than a second ahead of the field.<\/p>\n

Switzerland’s Martina van Berkel<\/strong> finished second in 2:09.59 with USA’s Cassidy Bayer<\/strong> taking third in 2:09.98.<\/p>\n

Brazil’s Bruno Fratus<\/strong>, the fourth-ranked swimmer in the world with a 21.55 from Worlds, topped the splash-and-dash with a time of 22.28.<\/p>\n

Kaneto led a Japanese 1-2 as Runa Imai<\/strong> clocked a 2:24.24 for second as she fell a bit shy of her 15th-ranked season best of 2:23.55, also from Japanese Nationals.<\/p>\n

Japan’s Masaki Kaneko<\/strong> turned in a second-place time of 1:57.83, more than four seconds behind Larkin’s sizzler.<\/p>\n
