Pilato was born January 18, 2005, and only two swimmers in the entire event are younger than her. Saint Lucia&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Naima Hazell<\/strong> was born in June 2005 while Mali&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Aichata Konate\u00a0<\/strong>was born in December.<\/p>\n<p>Despite her being so young, Pilato was the only swimmer to break 30 seconds in the heats of the 50 breast with a 29.98. World record holder and reigning World Champion\u00a0<strong>Lilly King<\/strong> qualified in the second spot at 30.18 as she is feeling a little more refreshed than some of her rivals since she was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/update-lilly-king-200-breast-disqualification-upheld-by-jury-of-appeal-wont-swim-200-breast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">disqualified in the heats of the 200 breaststroke<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It was good,&#8221; King said. &#8220;I\u2019m honestly just glad I didn\u2019t have to do a turn in that race! So yeah \u2013 it felt pretty good, pretty easy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>King was disqualified for a non-simultaneous touch in the 200 breast prelims, which USA Swimming protested immediately after. The DQ was sent to a jury of appeal but the disqualification was solidified and King was not granted a spot in the semifinals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was just trying to stay calm throughout the whole process,&#8221; King said. The DQ wasn&#8217;t formally announced until an hour before the start of finals on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I knew that Team USA was pulling out every stop they could to try and get the DQ overturned so keeping that in the back of my mind I think, just kind of kept me calm throughout the day. It is something you just have to deal with so I just have to put it past me and move on to the 50.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>King was able to qualify without incident this morning as she is looking to win her second gold medal of the meet.<\/p>\n<p>Italian <strong>Martina Carraro\u00a0<\/strong>is the third seed at 30.38 as the Italians showed out well this morning. Veteran\u00a0<strong>Alia Atkinson<\/strong> (30.53) of Jamaica is seeded fourth while 2013 World Champ <strong>Yulia Efimova\u00a0<\/strong>(30.63) is seeded fifth for
