It will be a busy evening on Day 4 of FINA World Junior Swimming Championships in Indianapolis, with two semifinals, seven individual finals, and one relay final. Only one athlete has scratched out of the evening session: Anastasiya Shkurdai of BLR, who qualified 15th for the women’s 50m back semifinals with 29.57, has ceded her spot. Anastasiia Avdeeva of RUS, who qualified 17th with 29.61, will move into lane 8 of the first semi heat.

Otherwise, all other finalists and semifinalists are expected to race tonight. That includes USA’s Michael Andrew, who has a treble on his slate; he’ll swim three events in a row: 50 back final, 50 fly semifinal, and 50 free final.
