Tonight, we saw swimmers compete for medals in the men’s 200 breast, women’s 50 fly, men’s 50 back, women’s 100 breast, women’s 400 free, men’s 50 free, women’s 200 IM, and men’s 4×200 free relay.

The USA maintains a sizeable lead in the medals in terms of both total golds and total medals. The Americans not have 19 total medals, 9 more than any other country, and 8 total golds, twice as many as 2nd-ranked Hungary (4). Among the swimmers contributing to their total tonight were Michael Andrew (50 back gold, 50 free gold), Daniel Roy (200 breast gold), Reece Whitley (200 breast silver), Zoe Bartel (100 breast bronze), and the men’s 4×200 free relay.
