She was 5.5 seconds ahead of <strong>Ageha Tanigawa<\/strong> of Japan finished second in 4:42.73. Third was <strong>Boglarka Kapas<\/strong> of Hungary, with Israel\u2019s <strong>Anastasia Gorbenko<\/strong> following in fourth.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 1,500 free<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Charlie Clark<\/strong> led most of the way in getting the win in 14:59.21. It\u2019s just his fourth ever swim sub-15 minutes. It was quicker than his time at Worlds in 2022 and was within two seconds of the swim from Worlds last summer that earned him 11th place.<\/p>\n<p>Second was Germany\u2019s <strong>Sven Schwarz<\/strong> in 15:01.17. Sweden\u2019s <strong>Victor Johansson<\/strong> was third in 15:04.22, then a 15-second gap back to <strong>Oliver Klemet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 50 backstroke<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Michael Andrew<\/strong> picked up the third straight American victory to start the session. He clocked in at 24.47 seconds to out duel Aussie <strong>Isaac Cooper<\/strong> by .12 seconds. Third place went to Poland\u2019s <strong>Ksawery Masiuk. Ryosuke Irie<\/strong> was fifth, behind Australian <strong>Ben Armbruster,<\/strong> in a veteran-laden final.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 200 freestyle<\/h4>\n<p>The first World Cup record of the day went down courtesy of <strong>Siobhan Haughey.<\/strong> The Hong Kong swimmer went 1:55.10 to get the win by just more than a second over the field. It downs the record set in 2015 by <strong>Katinka Hosszu<\/strong> at 1:55.41.<\/p>\n<p>Second was <strong>Erika Fairweather,<\/strong> who had won the 400 freestyle on Friday. She added a silver medal in 1:56.11. That bested Australia\u2019s <strong>Lani Pallister<\/strong> in 1:56.50. Netherlands\u2019 <strong>Marrit Steenbergen<\/strong> rallied to fourth in 1:57.99.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 200 IM<\/h4>\n<p>South Africa\u2019s <strong>Matt Sates<\/strong> took charge on the breaststroke led to pull away and win in 1:58.01. He held off an intriguing charge by <strong>Danas Rapsys,<\/strong> not always known as an IMer. As such, the Lithuanian led at the halfway point, slid to fifth at 150 meters, then rallied to second with a 27.42on the final 50. His time was 1:59.69.<\/p>\n<p>Americans finished third and fourth, with <strong>Kieran Smith<\/strong> going 2:00.07, a tenth up on <strong>Trenton Julian.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 100 backstroke<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> added a World Cup record to her voluminous collection of accolades, and in the process put a scare into her world record. The Aussie clocked in at 57.95 seconds, exactly a half-second off her world record set in 2021. She downed the circuit record of 58.34 set by <strong>Emily Seebohm<\/strong> back in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The back was more than two seconds back, no one breaking a minute. <strong>Kylie Masse<\/strong> was closest in 1:00.02 for silver. Her fellow Canadian <strong>Ingrid Wilm<\/strong> was third in 1:00.41, two-tenths quicker than <strong>Maalike de Waard<\/strong> of the Netherlands. Finishers two through six were separated by 1.02 seconds.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 50 breaststroke<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Qin Haiyang<\/strong> added another chapter to his world-beating of late by dominating the 50 breast in 26.29. He lowered the World Cup record by going 26.30 in the morning, which obliterated the 26.74 set in 2015 by <strong>Cameron van der Burgh.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Arno Kamminga<\/strong> finished second in 26.97. He edged <strong>Adam Peaty<\/strong> by .01 seconds. Fourth went to <strong>Nic Fink<\/strong> in 27.06, with <strong>Michael Andrew<\/strong> following in fifth.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 50 butterfly<\/h4>\n<p>There seemed little question that a World Cup record would go down in this event, but it was just a matter of who would take it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong> won the showdown with China\u2019s <strong>Zhang Yufei.<\/strong> Her time of 25.06 lowered her meet record, from Doha in 2018 at 25.22. Yufei was also under the mark in 25.14.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Torri Huske<\/strong> grabbed third place with a solid swim of 25.85. Fourth went to <strong>Angelina Kohler<\/strong> before home fans, in 25.94. <strong>Cate Campbell<\/strong> turned in a solid swim for Australia in fifth in 26.21.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 100 freestyle<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Thomas Ceccon<\/strong> went out fast and held on late to win the 100 free in 47.97. He was .58 seconds clear of Australia\u2019s <strong>Zac Incerti,<\/strong> who blistered the final 50 to move up from seventh to second in 48.55.<\/p>\n<p>Third went to <strong>Dylan Carter<\/strong> in 48.73 with Dutchman <strong>Stan Pijnenburg<\/strong> fourth.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 100 breaststroke<\/h4>\n<p>For 50 meters, it looked like <strong>Ruta Meilutyte<\/strong> would continue her indominable 2023. But leading at 50 meters, the Lithuanian slid to fifth.<\/p>\n<p>That allowed <strong>Eneli Jefimova<\/strong> to surge to the win in 1:06.50. She passed Meilutyte and <strong>Letitia Sim<\/strong> of Singapore on the final length, edging the latter .36 seconds. Third went to Poland\u2019s <strong>Dominika Sztandera<\/strong> in 1:07.01, .02 up on <strong>Tes Schouten.<\/strong> Meilutyte clocked in at 1:07.85.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 200 butterfly<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Matt Sates<\/strong> came back for his second win of the day, and his eighth in-race 50 of the meet may have been his best.<\/p>\n<p>Sates was fourth as the field turned for home, but he unloaded a split of 29.47 on the final 50 meters to climb from fourth to first in a time of 1:55.87. He passed <strong>Trenton Julian,<\/strong> who led at 100 and 150 meters, by .66 seconds, the American getting second in 1:56.53.<\/p>\n<p>Japan\u2019s <strong>Takumi Terada<\/strong> finished third in 1:57.03, with <strong>Richard Marton<\/strong> of Hungary fourth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Cup Berlin, Day 2: Americans Start Finals on Winning Streak The American delegation to the World Aquatics World Cup Berlin got off to a quick start on Saturday, winning<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8367,"featured_media":531079,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,7,10],"tags":[99297,128085,90997,127681,133186,124212,25824,63468,26448,32196,34412,71375,132535,133185,47000],"class_list":["post-570521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-usa","category-world","tag-charlie-clark","tag-eneli-jefimova","tag-erika-fairweather","tag-katie-grimes","tag-kaylee-mckeow","tag-matt-sates","tag-michael-andrew","tag-qin-haiyang","tag-ruta-meilutyte","tag-sarah-sjostrom","tag-siobhan-haughey","tag-thomas-ceccon","tag-world-aquatics-world-cup","tag-world-cup-berlin","tag-zhang-yufei"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
