Among the slew of starts, medalists and world record contenders, the lead in prelims went to a potentially unlikely figure: <strong>Julie Kepp Jensen<\/strong> of Denmark, nabbing herself a national record in the process.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omegatiming.com\/2022\/16th-fina-world-swimming-championships-25m-live-results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Results<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/meet\/2022-fina-world-short-course-championships\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meet information page<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SjxZg954gfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Live Stream<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All the women&#8217;s results from the third prelims session in Melbourne.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 50 backstroke<\/h4>\n<p>The semifinals of the 50 back is positively loaded.

You know, to be replaced by <strong>Maggie MacNeil,<\/strong> the gold medalist in the 50 fly and the world record holder in this event.
