The first finals session of the 2018 FINA World Cup Singapore kicked off tonight, with world cup leader <\/span>Vlad Morozov <\/b>grabbing two wins and a World Cup record. Sweden\u2019s <\/span>Sarah Sjostrom <\/b>also came away with two wins tonight, and in the process broke <\/span>Katinka Hosszu\u2019s <\/b>100 IM winning streak. <\/span><\/p>\n

Women\u2019s 400 Freestyle<\/b><\/h3>\n
Germany\u2019s <\/span>Reva Foos<\/b>, the second seed out of this morning\u2019s prelims, took the win in the opening event of the final World Cup stop, ending <\/span>Femke Heemskerk\u2019s <\/b>World Cup streak in this event. Heemskerk was leading heading into the final 50, but faded badly on the last 50 before Foos stormed by to take the win. In second was Hungary\u2019s <\/span>Boglarka Kapas <\/b>(4:08.10) and in third was Australian <\/span>Madison Wilson <\/b>(4:08.51). Heemskerk finished in fourth in 4:09.44. <\/span><\/p>\n
Men\u2019s 400 Freestyle<\/b><\/h3>\n
Australian Olympic gold medalist <\/span>Mack Horton <\/b>was the top finisher in the men\u2019s 400 free, posting a 3:41.44 for the win. Horton has been up and down this short course season, but was able to put together a strong race that had him passing podium finishers <\/span>Velimir Stjepanovic <\/b>and <\/span>Blake Pieroni <\/b>down the final 50. Horton\u2019s season best is a 3:39.52. Stkepanovic finished second in 3:41.52, while Pieroni was just behind in 3:41.94. <\/span><\/p>\n
Women\u2019s 100 IM<\/b><\/h3>\n
Sarah Sjostrom <\/b>and <\/span>Katinka Hosszu <\/b>had a close battle in the 100 IM, with Sjostrom just edging out a win over Hosszu in the final 57.49 to 57.56. Hosszu, who is the world record holder in the event, couldn\u2019t match her top seed from this morning (57.18) which would have been good for the win here. Sjostrom\u2019s win breaks Hosszu\u2019s streak in this event. The Hungarian has won a staggering twenty-seven finals in the 100 IM.<\/span><\/p>\n
