Swimming in the final heat, they touched the wall in identical times of 55.82, within .34 of the world record set in Rio in 2016 by <strong>Sarah Sjostrom.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sjostrom had set the pace in the heat before, rallying to get the better of <strong>Torri Huske. <\/strong>Huske went out under world-record pace for the first three-quarters of heat 4 of 5, but Sjostrom reeled her in, touching first in 56.18, her fastest time of the last two years. Huske was second in 56.29. They\u2019re the third and fourth seeds, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Sjostrom, the reigning Olympic champion, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sarah-sjostrom-to-undergo-surgery-on-monday-after-breaking-her-elbow\/\">underwent surgery on an elbow fracture in February<\/a>. The 27-year-old was back in the water less than a month into what was supposed to be a three-month recovery. Her injury introduced intrigue to the race, as did the rapid emergence of two American teenage stars, Huske and <strong>Claire Curzan.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reigning world champion <strong>Maggie MacNeil<\/strong> won the third heat with ease in 56.55, setting the Canadian up as the fifth seed in semifinals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was good to come out and get my first race under my belt, see what I can improve,&#8221; MacNeil said. &#8220;I feel like my second 50 wasn\u2019t as strong as I would like, so that\u2019s the goal for tomorrow. I\u2019m really inspired by <strong>Penny<\/strong> (<strong>Oleksiak<\/strong>) and <strong>Taylor (Ruck<\/strong>) after seeing what they did in 2016, knowing they are my age. It gave me chills and it\u2019s really exciting to be here with them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>MacNeil&#8217;s countrywoman <strong>Katerine Savard<\/strong> made it back in 11th, one spot behind Curzan, who went 57.49. <strong>Louise Hansson, Marie Wattel<\/strong> and <strong>Anastasiya Shkurdai<\/strong> are also lurking to add international spice to the final.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 100
