Olympics: Luke Greenbank Leads, Top Names All Make 200 Back Semis<\/strong><\/p>\n

Luke Greenbank<\/strong> made a run at the Olympic record, but short of that, the prelims of the men\u2019s 200 backstroke Wednesday night were uneventful. That\u2019s just fine by all the favorites in the event.<\/p>\n

Greenbank led the way by winning the second heat of four in 1:54.63. It\u2019s 1.2 ticks away from the Olympic record and within two tenths of his Great Britain mark. The rest of the contenders were content to push their way into Thursday morning semifinals without much consternation, save for one.<\/p>\n

“Really chuffed with that,” Greenbank said. “It felt really controlled, really comfortable. I\u2019m looking forward to the semifinals tomorrow.”<\/p>\n

Evgeny Rylov<\/strong>, fresh off his silver medal in the 800 freestyle relay, coasted to the second fastest time in 1:56.02. Bryce Mefford<\/strong> was a little punch in taking a run at Rylov in the fourth and final heat, but he settled for the third overall seed in 1:56.37. Ryan Murphy<\/strong> was unperturbed in winning his heat in 1:56.92, the seventh-fastest time. Rylov is the reigning Olympic champion. Rylov, the two-time reigning world champ, won the 100 back<\/a>. (Rio silver medalist Mitch Larkin<\/strong> opted for the 200 individual medley.)<\/p>\n

Also in the semifinal are Grigory Tarasevich,<\/strong> who was the 25th seed entering and outside of the circle-seeded heats, though he dropped a 1:56.82 to get the fifth seed. That\u2019s one behind the national record set by Juho Lee<\/strong> of South Korea (1:56.77).<\/p>\n

Both Japanese swimmers, Ryosuke Irie<\/strong> in eighth and Keita Sunama<\/strong> in ninth, advanced comfortably.<\/p>\n

The one to squeak into the final was Xu Jiayu<\/strong> of China, who went 1:57.76. That\u2019s the 15th fastest time of prelims.<\/p>\n
