She was the only swimmer to break 59 seconds in the heats and finished ahead of the Australian duo of <strong>Minna Atherton<\/strong> (59.22) and <strong>Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> (59.25), as they appeared to feed off the momentum from Australia winning both women\u2019s events last night.<\/p>\n<p>The USA\u2019s <strong>Kathleen Baker<\/strong> (59.31) and <strong>Olivia Smoliga<\/strong> (59.55) are the fourth and fifth seeds following solid morning swims. They were in the same heat with a Korean athlete and the crowd noise was hindering the starter. Regardless, they qualified for the semifinals in a good position, which was especially a good sign for Baker, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/race-video-kathleen-baker-stuns-with-new-world-record-in-100-back-nearly-breaks-58\/\">world-record holder<\/a> who has dealt with her share of illness and injury this year.<\/p>\n<p>Canada\u2019s <strong>Taylor Ruck<\/strong> swam her first individual event of the World Championships and posted a 59.82 to get sixth in the heats. Great Britain\u2019s <strong>Georgia Davies<\/strong> (59.84) and the Czech Republic\u2019s <strong>Simona Kubova<\/strong> (59.99) rounded out the top eight qualifiers.<\/p>\n<p>Italy\u2019s <strong>Margherita Panziera<\/strong>, who will be dangerous later in the week in the 200 back, is the ninth seed at 59.99. The semifinals will be highly competitive as it could take a 59-mid to make the final tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, <strong>Katinka Hosszu<\/strong> scratched out of the heats this morning to focus on her 200 IM final tonight. Hosszu did the same thing at the last three <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fina.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">World Championships<\/a>, scratching the 100 back at some point to focus on the 200 IM. Hosszu is the top seed for that event and is going for a fourth straight world title.<\/p>\n<p>1 MASSE Kylie Canada CAN 58.91<br \/>\n2 ATHERTON Minna Australia AUS 59.22<br \/>\n3 MCKEOWN Kaylee Australia AUS 59.25<br \/>\n4 BAKER Kathleen United States of America USA 59.31<br \/>\n5 SMOLIGA Olivia United States of America USA 59.55<br \/>\n6 RUCK Taylor Canada CAN 59.82<br \/>\n7 DAVIES Georgia Great Britain GBR 59.84<br \/>\n8 KUBOVA Simona Czech Republic CZE 59.95<br \/>\n9 PANZIERA Margherita Italy ITA 59.99<br \/>\n10 SAKAI Natsumi Japan JPN 1:00.05<br \/>\n11 RIEDEMANN Laura Germany GER 1:00.15<br \/>\n12 TOUSSAINT Kira Netherlands NED 1:00.27<br \/>\n13 FESIKOVA Anastasiia Russian Federation RUS 1:00.38<br \/>\n14 LOYNING Ingeborg Norway NOR 1:00.47<br \/>\n15 CHEN Jie People&#8217;s Republic of China CHN 1:00.64<br \/>\n16 VASKINA Daria Russian Federation RUS 1:00.66<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Swimming Championships (Women&#8217;s 100 Backstroke Prelims) Gwangju 2019 Canada\u2019s Kylie Masse had the top swim in the heats in the women\u2019s 100 back with a 58.91 to lead the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":372162,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,1,10],"tags":[84752,73139,82920,25418,51047,26270,35729,26904,32614],"class_list":["post-381781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-uncategorized","category-world","tag-18th-fina-world-aquatics-championships","tag-2019-fina-world-aquatics-championships","tag-2019-world-swimming-championships","tag-kathleen-baker","tag-kaylee-mckeown","tag-kylie-masse","tag-minna-atherton","tag-olivia-smoliga","tag-taylor-ruck"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
