There are a couple of big questions that we will all have the answer to in several, hopefully exciting, hours. Chief among them is what will Pan Zhanle do in the 100 free? After setting a new World Record in the finals of the 4×100 Free Relay, can Pan go faster? If he stumbles, Alessandro Miressi and Hwang Sunwoo will be looking to pounce.
While seeded to make the finals in both the 100 free and 200 breast, American Kate Douglass will have to tackle both events again after doubling up this morning and faces a tough field in the 100 free headlined by Shayna Jack, Marrit Steenbergen and Siobhan Haughey, who has already claimed medals in the freestyle and breaststroke events.
While the Chmielewski brothers swam together in the 200 fly semifinals, the Foster brothers both will tackle different events. Carson Foster will look to finally strike gold in the finals of the 200 IM, where he is the top seed and will be flanked by Duncan Scott and the ever-mercurial Shaine Casas. Meanwhile, Jake Foster will look to try to make the final after swimming himself into the 9th seed in the 200 breast.
The session wraps up with the final of the Women’s 4×200 free relay, where China will look to hold off a depleted but still World Record holding squad from Australia as well as surprise 2nd seed New Zealand, whose team set a new National Record in the prelims.
