Sjostrom attacked her two events, the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly, proving herself as a force to be reckoned with at Worlds. Meanwhile, the men\u2019s races proved tamer, although France\u2019s <strong>Mehdy Matella <\/strong>allowed his swim to do the talking in a stacked 100 fly heat.<\/p>\n<p>The night kicked off with the women\u2019s 50 backstroke, led by favorite <strong>Emily Seebohm<\/strong> of Australia in 28.13. Seebohm was tightly followed by the Netherlands <strong>Maiike De Waard<\/strong> in 28.34, and Great Britain&#8217;s <strong>Elizabeth Simmonds<\/strong>, in 28.61.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the men&#8217;s 50 backstroke race proved exciting thanks to a nail-biting finis between <strong>J\u00e9r\u00e9my Stravius<\/strong> (25.28) of France and the United States&#8217; <strong>Taylor Dale<\/strong> (25.29).\u00a0To add to the excitement, Australia\u2019s <strong>Mitchell Larkin <\/strong>stayed close in 25.32. Although the top three times did not crack the top twenty-fastest times this year, the race was nonetheless magnetic.<\/p>\n<p>With a crowd prepared for excitement, <strong>Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong> stole the show in the women&#8217;s 50 freestyle. Her 23.85 came up just short of Britta Steffen&#8217;s 2009, full-suited\u00a0world record time of 23.79 but demolished the Mare Nostrum record.\u00a0What&#8217;s more, Sjostrom virtually dominated the competition; her closest competitor was <strong>Ramoni Kromowidjojo<\/strong> of the Netherlands in a respectable 24.35, followed by Denmark&#8217;s <strong>Pernille Bloom<\/strong> in 24.47.<\/p>\n<p>The men&#8217;s race proved closer, as Brazil&#8217;s <strong>Bruno Fratus<\/strong>, with a 21.92, just edged out Australia&#8217;s <strong>Cameron Mcevoy<\/strong>, in 22.17. <strong>Andrii Govorov<\/strong> of the Ukraine rounded out the medalists in the A-final, just a hair behind Mcevoy, in 22.18.\u00a0The time for Fratus would rank him ninth in the world, except that he is already on the list at number five.<\/p>\n<p>In the women\u2019s 800, it was <strong>Anja Kesley <\/strong>of Hungary who came out on top with an 8:31.50\u2014a crucial race on her part that allowed her to wiggle her way into the twentieth ranked spot in the world. Behind Kesley, it was France\u2019s <strong>Sharon Van Rouwendaal<\/strong> in 8:33.56, and Portgual\u2019s <strong>Diana-Margarida Duraes <\/strong>in 8:40.86.<\/p>\n<p>The men\u2019s distance freestyle event of the day\u2014the 400 freestyle\u2014had even more dramatic effects on world rankings in the lead up to world championships. Champion <strong>Aleksander Krasnykh<\/strong> of Russia swam a decent race of 3:46.93, which is over a second off of his best for the year but nonetheless important as he gears up for this summer\u2019s main event. On the other hand, Poland&#8217;s <strong>Filip Zaborowski<\/strong> (3:47.28) made a significant vertical leap in world rankings, landing all the way in 12<sup>th<\/sup>. Norway\u2019s <strong>Henrik Christiansen<\/strong> also posted a solid 3:48.47 for the night.<\/p>\n<p>In the 200 backstroke, Australia\u2019s <strong>Emily Seebohm<\/strong> proved herself once again as a force to be reckoned with. She swam the fastest time of the year in the world and set a Mare Nostrum record of 2:06.66. Behind Seebohm, <strong>Daria K Ustinova<\/strong> of Russia hit the pad in a strong 2:08.76\u2014not her best, but a serviceable swim. Finally, Canada\u2019s <strong>Taylor Ruck<\/strong> established herself event with a third-place finish in an impressive 2:09.54, a time that will land her at ninth in the world.<\/p>\n<p>In the men\u2019s race, Poland\u2019s<strong> Radoslaw Kawecki<\/strong> proved that morning rankings do not tell the whole story, as he came out of the sixth seed to win it all in 1:57.47. Kawecki was followed by\u00a0Hungary\u2019s <strong>Adam Telegdy <\/strong>in 1:58.25 and Australia&#8217;s <strong>Mitchell Larkin<\/strong>, close behind in 1:58.93. All three men were shy of their best marks for the year.<\/p>\n<p>After that rather sleepy 200 backstroke, <strong>Yulia Efimova <\/strong>of Russia set the crowd on fire. Efimova blazed to a 1:04.82, setting a new Mare Nostrum record and pouncing close to the world record time of 1:04.35. It was her fastest\u2014and the world\u2019s fastest\u2014mark of the year. Moreover, it was the fifth-fastest time of all time in the event. Behind the Russian, Sweden\u2019s <strong>Jennie Johansson <\/strong>took a convincing second in 1:06.79, and Australia\u2019s <strong>Jessica Hansen <\/strong>nabbed the bronze in 1:07.09, just ahead of <strong>Jessica Val Montero<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The men\u2019s race proved no less exciting, with Efimova\u2019s fellow Russian, <strong>Aton Chupkov, <\/strong>setting a new Mare Nostrum record of 59.53 and just edging out Japan\u2019s <strong>Yashuhiro Koseki <\/strong>(59.66). <strong>Arno Kamminga <\/strong>of the Netherlands followed closely behind in 1:00.51.<\/p>\n<p>In the 200 IM, reigning queen of the event, Hungary\u2019s<strong> Katinka Hosszu<\/strong>\u00b8 unsurprisingly pulled out a victory in 2:11.16, the tenth-ranked time in the world, if Hosszu weren\u2019t already ranked first. <strong>Hiroko Makino <\/strong>of Japan was nearby in 2:12.34, just dodging her world-ranked time of 2:12.11, while Canada\u2019s <strong>Erika Hodgson Seltenreich<\/strong> settled for third in 2:13.07.<\/p>\n<p>In the men\u2019s 400 IM, <strong>Alexis-Manacas Santos<\/strong> of Portugal won convincingly in 4:21.48. Behind Santos, <strong>Dawid Szwedzki <\/strong>of Poland easily found silver in 4:22.98, and Denmark\u2019s <strong>Daniel Skaaning<\/strong> took the bronze away from distant competitors in 4:25.75.<\/p>\n<p>Yet again, in the women\u2019s 100 butterfly, Sjostrom proved herself as a global threat to world records. On the heels of her fantastic 50 free, Sjostrom attacked the first 50 of her 100 fly in 26.07, as if she hadn\u2019t swum in weeks\u2014when, in fact, she swam the same event last weekend and set a Mare Nostrum record. She ultimately finished out her race in 55.76, barely dodging the world record of 55.48 and trouncing her own Mare Nostrum record of 56.20.<\/p>\n<p>Although it was Sjostrom\u2019s race from the outset, South Korea\u2019s <strong>An Seyhon <\/strong>also had a noteworthy performance, landing in second with a 57.28, the fourth-fastest time in the world. Ironically, at the same time as Seyhon beat out Canada\u2019s <strong>Penny Oleksiak<\/strong> (57.32) in the pool, she also bumped Oleksiak down a spot in the more abstract world rankings, to fifth.<\/p>\n<p>The men\u2019s 100 butterfly was less a question of favorites than it was of grit. France\u2019s Mehdy Matella surpassed both Hungary\u2019s <strong>Laslo Cseh <\/strong>(51.87) and South Africa\u2019s <strong>Chad Le Clos <\/strong>(51.92) with a tremendous 51.63. The race allowed Matella to prove his salt head-to-head against two of the most seasoned flyers in the world\u2014an excellent preview of what is to come at Worlds.<\/p>\n<p>The women\u2019s 200 freestyle came down to the fingernails. Although Australia\u2019s <strong>Emma McKeon<\/strong> took out the first fifty under world record pace, she was unable to maintain her rhythm, and Sweden\u2019s <strong>Michelle Coleman <\/strong>pulled ahead. Despite shortening up during the last 50 yards of the race, Coleman held onto her lead for a 1:56.22. McKeon gained in the back half for silver in 1:56.29, while <strong>Femke Heemskerk<\/strong>\u00a0of the Netherlands snagged third in 1:56.51.<\/p>\n<p>Stravius once again went head-to head in the men\u2019s 200 freestyle, but this time he fell to his close competitor. Despite leading the pack for most of the race, Russia\u2019s Krasnykh worked slowly but surely to overcome him. In the final 25 yards, Krasnykh succeeded in passing and touching out Stravius with a 1:47.36. Stravius posted a strong 1:47.89, while Italy\u2019s Filippo Magnini took third in 1:48.70.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first night of competition in Canet-en-Rousillon, starting off the final leg of the Mare Nostrum Series, proved to be the property of Sweden\u2019s Sarah Sjostrom.
