Dean had gone 1:46.89 in the morning to down the Barcelona record \u2013 officially the Trofeo Internacional Ciutat de Barcelona record \u2013 by trimming .02 off the mark set in 2016 by countryman <strong>James Guy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Sates was second in the morning, but blasted a 1:45.91 in finals that downed the record. Dean was second in 1:46.27, with Japan\u2019s <strong>Katsuhiro Matusmoto<\/strong> also under the old mark at 1:46.26.

An event-by-event recap:<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 800 freestyle<\/h4>\n<p>The fastest heat of the longest men\u2019s event came down to a battle between Frenchmen. <strong>Marc Antonie Olivier<\/strong> briefly surged ahead by two hundredths on the third-to-last 50, but it was <strong>Joris Bouchaut<\/strong> who got to the wall first. His time of 7:53.03 was exactly a half-second up on Olivier. Bouchat came home in 29.01-27.67, faster than the 29.30-27.90 that Olivier closed in. Ireland\u2019s <strong>Daniel Wiffin<\/strong> was third in 7:55.16.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 50 backstroke<\/h4>\n<p>The backstroke sprint became a Canadian duel. <strong>Kylie Masse<\/strong> got the better of it, winning in 27.47. That\u2019s under the established Canadian record she set in March at 27.52, but she has a pending time of 27.18 from Canadian trials in April. She was also .05 off <strong>Kira Toussaint\u2019s<\/strong> meet record.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingrid Wilm<\/strong> finished second with a time of 27.85. <strong>Analia Pigree<\/strong> and <strong>Silvia Scalia<\/strong> tied for third in 27.89.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 50 breaststroke<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Michael Andrew<\/strong> laid down an early marker against top talent, albeit without <strong>Arno Kamminga,<\/strong> who scratched the event to focus on the 200 later in the day. Andrew got the win in 27.06, outtouching Brazil\u2019s <strong>Joao Gomes<\/strong> (27.18) and Italian <strong>Nicolo Martinenghi<\/strong> (27.26). That trio has three of the top four times in the world this year, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/u-s-international-team-trials-michael-andrew-lowers-american-record-in-50-breast-edges-nic-fink-by-0-03\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andrew\u2019s American record from U.S. International Trials<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 50 butterfly<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Melanie Henique<\/strong> of France took home the win with a time of 25.57 seconds. It\u2019s her fastest time of 2022, keeping her fourth in the world rankings. <strong>Farida Osman<\/strong> finished second in 25.73, while <strong>Louise Hansson<\/strong> (26.03) edged out <strong>Marie Wattel<\/strong> by .01 for bronze.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 400 individual medley<\/h4>\n<p>Sates started his day with a dominant showing in the men\u2019s 400 IM. He handled the field with a time of 4:11.58, his fastest of 2022 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/noe-ponti-edges-100-fly-tussle-with-chad-le-clos-at-mare-nostrum-doubles-for-sjostrom-sates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a second faster than last week in Monaco<\/a>. It bumps him up to eighth in the world. He also came within .36 of chipping off the TICB record held since 2011 by <strong>Laszlo Cseh.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sates and <strong>David Verraszto<\/strong> were within a half second after 300 meters, but Sates finished with a 57.29 to the 58.73 by Verraszto to open up the gap. The Hungarian finished second in 4:13.53. <strong>Max Litchfield<\/strong> took <strong>home<\/strong> bronze in 4:16.21.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 100 freestyle<\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_486781\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-486781\" data-attachment-id=\"486781\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/mare-nostrum-barcelona-matt-sates-meet-record-highlights-fast-day-1\/isl2021_minekasapoglu-01249\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ISL2021_MineKasapoglu-01249-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1707\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;ILCE-9M2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1630257286&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;2500&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ISL2021_MineKasapoglu-01249\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;LA Current Anastasia Gorbenko ISL2021_MineKasapoglu-01249&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Anastasia Gorbenko; Photo Courtesy: Mine Kasapoglu\/ISL&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ISL2021_MineKasapoglu-01249-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ISL2021_MineKasapoglu-01249-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-486781\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ISL2021_MineKasapoglu-01249-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"ISL2021_MineKasapoglu-01249\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ISL2021_MineKasapoglu-01249-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ISL2021_MineKasapoglu-01249-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ISL2021_MineKasapoglu-01249-280x187.jpg 280w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ISL2021_MineKasapoglu-01249-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ISL2021_MineKasapoglu-01249-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ISL2021_MineKasapoglu-01249-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ISL2021_MineKasapoglu-01249-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ISL2021_MineKasapoglu-01249-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ISL2021_MineKasapoglu-01249-2000x1333.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ISL2021_MineKasapoglu-01249-1350x900.jpg 1350w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ISL2021_MineKasapoglu-01249-533x355.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-486781\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anastasia Gorbenko; Photo Courtesy: Mine Kasapoglu\/ISL<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A relatively sedate 100 free produced a tight race nonetheless, with the top seven swimmers separated by .64 seconds. Dutchwoman <strong>Marit Steenbergen<\/strong> finished on top at 54.16, .08 up on <strong>Kayla Sanchez.<\/strong> Third was fellow Canadian <strong>Maggie MacNeil<\/strong> in 54.38. Great Britain placed two in the top six, with <strong>Anna Hopkin<\/strong> fourth (54.61) and <strong>Freya Anderson<\/strong> (54.77) sandwiching Wattel.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 100 backstroke<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Thomas Ceccon<\/strong> unleashed a stellar evening swim to steal the win away from <strong>Ryosuke Irie.<\/strong> The Japanese veteran set the pace in prelims at 53.80, with Ceccon in fourth. But the Italian uncorked a 53.18 in finals to get the win. In the process, he finished just .10 off the TICB and Mare Nostrum record shared by Irie (from Monaco 2010) and Spaniard <strong>Hugo Gonzalez<\/strong> (in 2021).<\/p>\n<p>Irie was second in finals at 53.46. <strong>Pieter Coetze<\/strong> of South Africa was within a tenth at the midway point on the way to third in 53.72.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 100 breaststroke<\/h4>\n<p>German <strong>Anna Elendt<\/strong> continued her fine form by winning in 1:06.07. She was even faster in the morning at 1:05.82, yet another sub-1:06 swim for the University of Texas swimmer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/anna-elendt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">who set the German record<\/a> and holds the third-fastest time in the world in 2022 at 1:05.58.<\/p>\n<p>Japan\u2019s <strong>Reona Aoki<\/strong> finished second in 1:06.43. <strong>Sophie Hansson<\/strong> of Sweden (1:06.60), <strong>Lydia Jacoby<\/strong> (1:06.66) and <strong>Anastasia Gorbenko<\/strong> (1:06.69) were clustered within a tight window.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 50 freestyle<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Bruno Fratus<\/strong> keeps churning out sub-22 swims even as he approaches his mid-30s. Fratus won the event in 21.78, holding off Great Britain\u2019s <strong>Ben Proud.<\/strong> <strong>Michael Andrew<\/strong> was third. Fratus and Andrew are second and third in the world this year in the event, respectively.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Szebasztian Szabo<\/strong> finished third in 22.13, while <strong>Jesse Puts<\/strong> led three Dutchmen in the A final in fifth in 22.15.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 200 backstroke<\/h4>\n<p>With out Masse, the 200 back ended up as one of the slower events on the day, as measured by FINA points. Canadian junior swimmer and University of Tennessee commit <strong>Regan Rathwell<\/strong> took advantage, winning in 2:09.54. She went out fast and held on as <strong>Eszter Szabo<\/strong> of Hungary closed fast, getting second in 2:09.62. That duo posted the only two sub-2:11 times.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 200 breaststroke<\/h4>\n<p>Rested and ready to go, <strong>Arno Kamminga<\/strong> blitzed the field in the 200, going 2:08.65 to win the event by more than two seconds. That\u2019s just four tenths off his fastest time of the year (2:08.22). Japan finished second and third, with <strong>Yu Hanaguruma<\/strong> second in 2:10.79 and <strong>Ryuya Mura<\/strong> third in 2:11.86.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 200 butterfly<\/h4>\n<p>Great Britain\u2019s <strong>Laura Stephens<\/strong> nearly knocked off a record held by a native daughter. Stephens went 2:07.12, zooming within .01 of <strong>Mireia Belmonte\u2019s<\/strong> Mare Nostrum Barcelona record. The swim is Stephens\u2019 fastest of 2022 and moves her to fourth in the world rankings.<\/p>\n<p>Third in those rankings is <strong>Kina Hayashi<\/strong> of Japan, who backed that up with a time of 2:07.27, just missing out on Stephens. American <strong>Emma Sticklen<\/strong> of the University of Texas was third in 2:08.41.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 100 butterfly<\/h4>\n<p>On paper, it may look like a surprise, but <strong>Naoki Mizunuma<\/strong> keeps swimming to prove it. The 25-year-old continued an outstanding 2022 by upsetting <strong>Kristof Milak,<\/strong> the European and Mare Nostrum record holder, in the 100 fly. Mizunuma went 51.46, coming back in 26.79 to reel in Milak by .05 seconds. Milak, who went out in 24.06, finished second in 51.51.<\/p>\n<p>Mizunuma is second in the world rankings in 2022, with a 50.86 from the Japanese selection meet.<\/p>\n<p>Switzerland\u2019s <strong>Noe Ponti<\/strong> was second in 51.71, followed by <strong>Nyls Korstantje<\/strong> of the Netherlands in 52.12. <strong>Chad Le Clos<\/strong> was fifth in 52.36.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 200 individual medley<\/h4>\n<p>In a battle of Olympians, <strong>Anastasia Gorbenko<\/strong> got the better of <strong>Katinka Hosszu<\/strong> and <strong>Abbie Wood,<\/strong> with a trio of sub 2:11 times. Gorbenko was first to the wall in 2:10.65, which moves the Israeli to sixth in the world in 2022, just .01 behind Wood\u2019s best time. Gorbenko used outside smoke after finishing eighth in prelims.<\/p>\n<p>Hosszu, the Mare Nostrum Barcelona and world record holder, was second in 2:10.75, the eighth best time in the world this year. Wood finished third in 2:10.99.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 400 freestyle<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Simona Quadarella<\/strong> pulled away in the final 50 to end up with a comfortable margin of 2.7 seconds at the wall.
