The fifth day of action from the 2018 Russian Swimming Nationals from Moscow concluded with a major upset. 2017 World Champion and second fastest performer in history,\u00a0Yulia Efimova<\/strong>, finished second in the 200 breast final on night five.<\/p>\n

Women’s 200 Breast<\/h3>\n

Efimova swam her usual race, where she builds her way through it and even splits her last three 50’s. She could not catch\u00a0Vitalina Simonova\u00a0<\/strong>as she had the lead from start to finish, ending with a 37.39 and 2:23.67. Efimova closed in a 36.42 but ended up second with a 2:24.02.<\/p>\n

Daria Chikunova\u00a0<\/strong>was third in the final (2:25.92). American students\u00a0Anna Belousova\u00a0<\/strong>(Texas A&M) and\u00a0Maria Astashkina\u00a0<\/strong>(Louisville) were fourth (2:26.80) and sixth (2:29.55) in the final respectively.<\/p>\n

Men’s 800 Free<\/h3>\n

Yaroslav Potapov\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Ilya Druzhinin\u00a0<\/strong>went back and forth in the 800 timed final as Potapov outlasted Druzhinin with a 7:55.05 as he out-touched him at the finish. Druzhinin finished second at 7:55.10.<\/p>\n

Maxim Travnikov\u00a0<\/strong>was third in the final at 7:58.05.<\/p>\n

Women’s 100 Back<\/h3>\n

Daria Ustinova\u00a0<\/strong>used the fastest last 50 in the field to win the 100 back final with a 59.73. Ustinova came home in a 30.39 to beat\u00a0Maria Kameneva\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Anastasia Fesikova\u00a0<\/strong>who tied for second. Fesikova was the early leader in the field, but the 27-year-old faded in the end and ended up tied for second place with a 59.94.<\/p>\n

Polina Egorova\u00a0<\/strong>was fourth in the final with a 59.96.<\/p>\n

Men’s 100 Fly<\/h3>\n

Much like the women’s 100 back final,\u00a0Alexander Sadovnikov\u00a0<\/strong>used a strong back half to win the 100 fly final. Sadovnikov, who was seventh at the 50, came home in a 27.18 to win the 100 fly final in Moscow on Tuesday night. Sadovnikov touched in a 51.67 for the win. He swam by\u00a0Daniel Pakhomov\u00a0<\/strong>(51.96) and\u00a0Andrey Minakov\u00a0<\/strong>(51.99).<\/p>\n

Early leader\u00a0Alexander Popkov<\/strong>, who was the only one out in under 24 seconds (23.93) was fourth in the final at 52.14.<\/p>\n

Men’s 200 Free<\/h3>\n

2017 World Championship bronze medalist\u00a0Alexander Krasnykh\u00a0<\/strong>won the 200 free final in Moscow with a 1:46.25 ahead of\u00a0Mikhail Vekovischev\u00a0<\/strong>(1:46.43) and\u00a0Mikhail Dovgalyuk\u00a0<\/strong>(1:46.49). The Russians got a fourth swimmer under 1:47 with\u00a0Vyacheslav Andrusenko\u00a0<\/strong>(1:46.89) completing the potential 4×200 free relay for the Russians. They were second in the relay in Budapest last summer and will have a chance to take on the British in their home country at the European Championships in August later this summer.<\/p>\n

Notably in the race, veteran\u00a0Danila Izotov\u00a0<\/strong>took out the race with a 50.94, and finished with a 29.67 to fall to sixth place at 1:48.31.<\/p>\n

Men’s 50 Breast<\/h3>\n

After the semi-finals were held earlier in the session,\u00a0Oleg Kostin\u00a0<\/strong>won the 50 breast final with a 27.26. He just out-touched\u00a0Kirill Prigoda\u00a0<\/strong>in the final who was second at 27.27.\u00a0Ilya Khomenko\u00a0<\/strong>was third in the race in Moscow at 27.34.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
