By David Rieder.<\/em><\/p>\n

For a few scary minutes Tuesday afternoon, Nathan Adrian\u2019s<\/strong> chances at a title defense in the 100 free hung in the balance. Adrian swam a 48.58 to finish fourth in the seventh of eight heats. He finished well but only after going out in an\u00a0abnormally sluggish 23.46.<\/p>\n

Would he even make it back? He had just one heat to wait through\u2014surely it felt like longer\u2014before he could take a deep breath. He was 16th, three one-hundredths ahead of Japan\u2019s Katsumi Nakamura<\/strong>. But if he had any hopes of advancing to the final, it was clear he needed something much faster in the semifinals.<\/p>\n

But in typical Adrian fashion, he refused to sweat his outside lane for the semifinal.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter I touched, that\u2019s all I could do,\u201d Adrian said. \u201cHad to wait one heat. Glad I didn\u2019t pull a Jason Lezak from 2004 (missing the semifinals). I got lucky this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the semis, he would need no luck. Slightly behind the field at the turn, Adrian powered his underwaters and his typical straight-arm, no-breath finish and came in at 47.83, good for the right to swim in lane four in the final.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had a lane tonight, and he showed up and raced\u2014that\u2019s what!\u201d said fellow American Caeleb Dressel<\/strong>, who qualified fifth for the final in 47.97.<\/p>\n

But the battle is not yet won, as a tight final heat awaits. Vladimir Morozov<\/strong> finished ninth at 48.23, and five men went under 48 seconds, including Dressel\u2019s former Bolles teammate Santo Condorelli<\/strong> and Australians Cameron McEvoy<\/strong> and Kyle Chalmers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

McEvoy entered the meet as the gold medal favorite after posting a 47.04\u2014the second-fastest time ever\u2014in April. But the 18-year-old Chalmers has been the story so far in Rio, twice lowering his own World Junior Record Tuesday, and he has the best finishing speed in the field. His 24.23 homecoming split in prelims ranks as the second-best ever, behind just Michael Phelps\u2019<\/strong> 24.20 in Beijing eight years ago.<\/p>\n

*Calling a race wide open<\/strong> feels clich\u00e9, but that certainly applies to the men\u2019s 200 breast. Defending gold medalist Daniel Gyurta<\/strong> missed making the semifinals, and World Champion Marco Koch<\/strong>\u00a0will be swimming the final out of lane one. Five men broke 2:08 in the semifinals, and those five have combined for a grand total zero Olympic medals in their careers.<\/p>\n

Japan\u2019s Ippei Watanabe<\/strong> qualified first in 2:07.22, the third-fastest swim in history behind Akihiro Yamaguchi\u2019s<\/strong> world record of 2:07.01 and Josh Prenot\u2019s<\/strong> 2:07.14 from U.S. Olympic Trials last month. Great Britain\u2019s Andrew Willis edged Prenot for the No. 2 spot in the semis, and they were followed by Japan\u2019s Yasuhiro Koseki<\/strong> and the USA\u2019s Kevin Cordes.<\/p>\n

The two Americans will swim in adjacent lanes, but as was evident at Olympic Trials, the two take radically different approaches to the 200 breast. Cordes goes out quickly, almost always well under world record-pace. In the final at Olympic Trials, he went out in 1:00.77, almost a full second faster than Yamaguchi\u2019s WR split.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last 50 of that world record split is so fast, so you have to be in front of it if you want a shot,\u201d Cordes said. \u201cI was really just trying to swim my own race, swim a good race and make it into finals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s Josh Prenot, who has some of the best finishing speed in the world. Prenot will likely be behind the rest of the field\u2014particularly Cordes\u2014in the final, but he\u2019s perfectly okay with that.<\/p>\n

\u201cFreshman and sophomore years, I was not comfortable being behind in races\u2014I had to be on the lead or behind the second-place guy,\u201d Prenot said. \u201cI\u2019m definitely kind of settling in to being comfortable with being behind. I feel like that\u2019s how Michael [Phelps] kind of built his career. That\u2019s when I have my best races.\u201d<\/p>\n

This will be Prenot\u2019s first major international final, but Cordes put together an excellent race in last year\u2019s World Championship final, winning the silver medal behind Koch in 2:08.05, but the race has gotten so much quicker in the 12 months since. Cordes also finished fourth in the 100 breast Sunday night in a disappointing time of 59.22.<\/p>\n

\u201cWould have liked to have medaled, but that\u2019s not the way it went,\u201d Cordes said. \u201cDefinitely gave me more motivation to come out here and hopefully doing it tomorrow night.\u201d<\/p>\n

*Leading off the U.S. men\u2019s 800 free relay<\/strong> Tuesday night, Conor Dwyer<\/strong> gave the Americans a small lead, but it ballooned when Townley Haas<\/strong> got in the water. It was pretty quickly evident that the sophomore-to-be at Texas was having a nice race, even before he went out in 49.76.<\/p>\n

Haas ended up splitting 1:44.14, seven tenths of a second faster than the next best split in the race, which belonged to World Champion James Guy.<\/strong> It far exceeded Haas\u2019 own lifetime best of 1:45.58 that he swam on his way to a fifth-place finish in the 200 free a day earlier.<\/p>\n

Dwyer joked that he had expected the effort all along.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said three-nine to him in the warmup pool, and he split a four-one, so I was pretty close,\u201d Dwyer said.<\/p>\n

Haas admitted that watching Phelps\u2019 tight victory in the 200 fly gave him a little bit of extra juice for the relay swim, but even he did not see that sort of big drop coming.<\/p>\n

Of course, this was not the first time this year Haas has dropped some mind-blowing split\u2014back in March, he threw down a 1:30.52 split on Texas\u2019 800-yard free relay at the NCAA Championships, two days before he went a 1:30.46 from a flat-start to obliterate the fastest time in history.<\/p>\n

Consider that split just a glimpse of what Haas is capable of. With turns not his strength, Haas\u2019 long course swimming figures to eventually exceed his short course. His distance background\u2014he was the NCAA champion in the 500 free this year as well\u2014means he\u2019s unlikely to fade. And it takes some serious speed to go out under 50, even if it is from a relay exchange.<\/p>\n

Haas got his opportunity Tuesday night to swim one 800 free relay with three of the greatest in U.S. history, but the mantle will be his to carry soon enough. If what we\u2019ve seen so far is any indication, he will be up for the challenge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
