Heat sheets for night five\u00a0of semifinals and finals at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games have been released and are available here<\/a>.\u00a0Check out\u00a0Swimming World\u2019<\/em>s predictions\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ippel Watanabe\u00a0<\/strong>of Japan enters tonight as the top seed in the opening event, the men’s 200 breaststroke. Last night he went a 2:07.22, just .21 shy of the world record. The field will be tight, though, as the entire field is spread by just less than a second.<\/p>\n

With an Olympic record in tow,\u00a0Cate Campbell\u00a0<\/strong>enters the 100 freestyle semifinals as the top qualifier. She’ll race alongside World Junior record holder\u00a0Penny Oleksiak<\/strong>\u00a0of Canada.<\/p>\n

Jiayu Xu\u00a0<\/strong>of China will take the center lane in the opening semifinals while\u00a0Evgeny Rylov\u00a0<\/strong>of Russia will take the top spot in the second heat of the men’s 200 backstroke. Each swimmer will race alongside a Cal bear as Americans\u00a0Ryan Murphy\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Jacob Pebley\u00a0<\/strong>also made semifinals.<\/p>\n

Madeline Groves\u00a0<\/strong>is seeded a half second ahead of the next best swimmer in tonight’s 200 butterfly final.\u00a0Nathan Adrian\u00a0<\/strong>has bounced back and is looking to defend his Olympic gold in the men’s 100 freestyle.<\/p>\n

Lilly King\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Yulia Efimova\u00a0<\/strong>are not (yet) the storyline of the women’s 200 breaststroke, but both swimmers did find their way into the semifinals. Denmark’s\u00a0Rikke Moller Pedersen\u00a0<\/strong>swam the fastest prelims time.<\/p>\n

Michael Phelps\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Ryan Lochte\u00a0<\/strong>will race side by side in the 200 IM tonight.\u00a0Phillip Heintz\u00a0<\/strong>will take center stage in the first semifinal.<\/p>\n

While the Americans posted the fastest 4×200 relay prelims time, that race will begin to take shape when full rosters are released later this evening.<\/p>\n
