Whelp, that was a fast start to the day. Hwang Sunwoo went out at it hard, leading at the 100 by nearly .50 over the USA’s Luke Hobson. Hobson made his move on the 3rd 50 to take the lead, by the Korean fought back to take the win in 1:44.75, just off his PB from the Asian Games last year. With the win, Korea has won both the 200 and 400 freestyle events, leading one to speculate they may have a great 4×200 free relay.

Silver went to Danas Rapsys, who bided his time and sat in 4th at the 100 but moved up on the field and passed Hobson and Rafael Martens to touch .30 behind the Korean. Hobson had the slowest last 50 of the field (27.81) but managed to hang on to win the bronze.
