Women’s 200 Free Semi-Finals:<\/h3>\n
Both semi-final heats of the women’s 200 free were highlighted by close finishes as swimmers battled for the top finish.\u00a0Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong>\u00a0went head-to-head with the USA’s\u00a0Katie Ledecky<\/strong>\u00a0and World Record holder\u00a0Federica Pellegrini<\/strong>\u00a0in heat two of the semis. Sjostrom and Ledecky exchanged the lead throughout but a strong underwater off the final turn gave Sjostrom a slight edge over Ledecky.<\/p>\nSjostrom stopped the clock at a 1:54.65 to pick up the first place seed going into tomorrow’s final, while Ledecky settled for second and a 1:54.81.<\/p>\n
Pellegrini led through the first turn before fading slightly to third and a time of 1:55.42.<\/p>\n
China’s\u00a0Shen Duo<\/strong>\u00a0charged ahead of a crowded heat one to finish with a 1:56.03, good for fourth in tomorrow night’s final.<\/p>\nMichelle Coleman<\/strong>\u00a0of Sweden, who held her own with the likes of Sjostrom and Ledecky, will return tomorrow night as the fifth place seed with a time of 1:56.05.<\/p>\nAustralia’s\u00a0Emma McKeon<\/strong>\u00a0(1:56.29) and France’s\u00a0Charlotte Bonnet<\/strong>\u00a0(1:56.38) return as seventh and eighth respectively.<\/p>\nMen’s 200 Free FINAL:<\/h3>\n
South Africa’s\u00a0Chad le Clos<\/strong>\u00a0jumped to an immediate lead in finals of the men’s 200 free, taking full advantage of his underwaters to separate himself from the competition. Despite his early jump to the lead it was not enough to hold off China’s\u00a0Sun Yang<\/strong>\u00a0who made his move at the 150-meter mark. Yang charged to the wall to earn the gold medal with a time of 1:44.65.<\/p>\nLe Clos settled for second and the silver medal with a 1:45.20, just barely out-touching\u00a0Conor Dwyer<\/strong>\u00a0of the USA. Dwyer took bronze with a 1:45.23.<\/p>\nSwimming in the outside lane\u00a0James Guy<\/strong>\u00a0of Great Britain improved upon his position to finish the dreaded fourth with a 1:45.49.<\/p>\nNCAA and American SCY Record holder in this event,\u00a0Townley Haas<\/strong>, picked up fifth with a final time of 1:45.58, while the World Record holder,\u00a0Paul Biedermann<\/strong>, took sixth with a 1:45.84.<\/p>\nJapan’s\u00a0Kosuke Hagino<\/strong>\u00a0slid to seventh with a 1:45.90, just ahead of Russia’s\u00a0Aleksandr Krasnykh’s<\/strong>\u00a01:45.91.<\/p>\nWomen’s 100 Back FINAL:<\/h3>\n
It was a tight battle from the very start of the women’s 100 back with Canada’s\u00a0Kylie Masse<\/strong>\u00a0posting the fastest reaction time of the bunch. Just like last night, the biggest rivalry in the pool existed between Hungary’s\u00a0Katinka Hosszu<\/strong>\u00a0and the USA’s\u00a0Kathleen Baker.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nBaker led the competition throughout the first 75 meters, but a strong final 25 meters propelled Hosszu to the wall. Hosszu claimed her second gold of the meet with a final time of 58.45 over Baker’s 58.75.<\/p>\n
Masse and China’s\u00a0Fu Yuanhui<\/strong>\u00a0battled to the finish posting matching times of 58.76 to tie for the bronze medal.<\/p>\nDenmark’s\u00a0Mie Nielsen<\/strong>\u00a0took fifth overall with a time of 58.80, while the USA’s\u00a0Olivia Smoliga<\/strong>\u00a0moved up to sixth with a 58.95.<\/p>\nThe Australian duo of\u00a0Emily Seebohm\u00a0<\/strong>(59.19) and\u00a0Madison Wilson\u00a0<\/strong>(59.23) were seventh and eighth rsspectively.<\/p>\nMen’s 100 Back FINAL:<\/h3>\n
In tonight’s 100 backstroke final\u00a0Ryan Murphy\u00a0<\/strong>pulled away from the field in the final 50 meters to continue the United State’s tradition of elite American backstrokers. He took down American\u00a0Matt Grevers<\/strong>‘ Olympic record of 52.16 on his way to gold. Murphy touched in 51.97. That time was only .03 shy of\u00a0Aaron Peirsol<\/strong>‘s world record of 51.94 swum in 2009.<\/p>\nHis teammate\u00a0David Plummer\u00a0<\/strong>will also be on the Olympic podium in his Olympic debut. Plummer stopped the clock in 52.40 for the bronze.\u00a0China’s\u00a0Jiayu Xu\u00a0<\/strong>secured silver, finishing in 52.31.<\/p>\nAustralia’s\u00a0Mitchell Larkin\u00a0<\/strong>finished just .03 out of a medal. He touched fourth in 52.43.<\/p>\nFrance’s\u00a0Camille Lacourt\u00a0<\/strong>finished fifth with 52.70. In sixth place was\u00a0Evgeny\u00a0<\/strong>Rylov\u00a0<\/strong>of Russia with a 52.74.<\/p>\nJapan’s\u00a0Ryosuke Irie\u00a0<\/strong>placed seventh with a final time of 53.42.\u00a0Robert Glinta\u00a0<\/strong>of Romania was eighth in 53.50.<\/p>\nWomen’s 100 Breast FINAL:<\/h3>\n
Lilly King<\/strong>\u00a0of the USA continues her dominance over the 100 breaststroke with a final showdown against Russia’s\u00a0Yulia Efimova<\/strong>. Efimova entered the pool among clear booing but did not let it shake her performance, plowing through a tight field to gain on the USA’s King and\u00a0Katie Meili,\u00a0<\/strong>who led off the turn.<\/p>\nKing refused to let Efimova by her as they charged to the wall, stopping the clock at a sizzling 1:04.93. King’s time is a new Olympic Record crushing the former Olympic Record of 1:05.17, set in 2008 by\u00a0Leisel<\/strong>\u00a0Jones<\/strong>.<\/p>\nEfimova settled for second and a time of 1:05.50, touching just ahead of Meili’s 1:05.69.<\/p>\n
Shi Jinglin<\/strong>\u00a0of China delivered a time of 1:06.37 to pick up fourth place overall, just ahead of Canada’s\u00a0Rachel Nicol’s\u00a0<\/strong>1:06.68.<\/p>\nIsrael’s\u00a0Hrafnhildur Luthersdottir<\/strong>\u00a0finished sixth with a time of 1:07.18, while reigning Olympic champion\u00a0Ruta Meilutyte<\/strong>\u00a0of Lithuania was seventh.<\/p>\nJamaica’s\u00a0Alia Atkinson<\/strong>\u00a0rounded out the top eight with a 1:08.10.<\/p>\nMen’s 200 Fly Semi-Finals:<\/h3>\n
Hungary’s\u00a0Tamas Kenderesi<\/strong>\u00a0and the USA’s\u00a0Michael Phelps<\/strong>\u00a0went head-to-head in the second heat of the 200 fly semi-finals, finishing a slim .16 seconds apart. Kenderesi snuck ahead of Phelps in the last 25-meters to claim the top seed going into tomorrow night’s final with a time of 1:53.96. Phelps returns as second with a 1:54.12.<\/p>\nFellow Hungarian, and this morning’s leader,\u00a0Laszlo Cseh\u00a0<\/strong>slipped to third in semi-finals with a 1:55.18 finish in heat one.<\/p>\nReigning Olympic champion\u00a0Chad le Clos<\/strong>\u00a0earned fourth in the final with a 1:55.19 finish, not long after earning a silver medal in the men’s 200 free final.<\/p>\nJapanese teammates\u00a0Daiya Seto<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Sakai Masato\u00a0<\/strong>picked up the fifth and sixth place seeds with times of 1:55.28 and 1:55.32 respectively.<\/p>\nDenmark’s\u00a0Viktor Bromer<\/strong>\u00a0(1:55.59) and Belgium’s\u00a0Louis Croenen<\/strong>\u00a0(1:56.03) return as seventh and eighth.<\/p>\nWomen’s 200 IM Semi-Final:<\/h3>\n
Great Britain’s\u00a0Siobhan-Marie O’Connor<\/strong>\u00a0remained smooth throughout the entire first heat of the women’s 200 IM semi-finals, leading wall-to-wall. O’Connor topped Australia’s\u00a0Alicia Coutts<\/strong>\u00a0and the USA’s\u00a0Maya DiRado\u00a0<\/strong>to finish first in heat one in with a 2:07.57 for a new British Record.<\/p>\nHungary’s “Iron Lady”\u00a0Katinka Hosszu\u00a0<\/strong>recovered quickly from her gold medal performance in the women’s 100 back to claim the second place seed with a 2:08.13.<\/p>\nDiRado’s swim of 2:08.91 earned her the third place seed, while fellow American\u00a0Melanie Margalis\u00a0<\/strong>returns as fifth with a 2:10.10.<\/p>\nChina’s\u00a0Ye Shiwen<\/strong>\u00a0looked substantially stronger in the semi-finals of the 200 IM than she did in day one’s 400 IM, qualifying fourth overall with a 2:09.33.<\/p>\nCourts picked up the sixth place seed with a 2:10.35, while Canada’s\u00a0Sydney Pickrem<\/strong>\u00a0grabbed seventh with a 2:10.57.<\/p>\nRussia’s\u00a0Viktoriia Andreeva\u00a0<\/strong>was eighth in semi-finals with a 2:10.87.<\/p>\nClick here to view full results from day three finals.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Everything you need to follow along live with day three finals of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
