Top 10 In Cluster 2

Men:

USA’s Josh Prenot touched 4th in the 200m breaststroke in 2:12,23, 7th in the 50m butterfly in 23,51 and he also will start in the 400m IM final – this final tonight will be swum as the “fastest heat”, without prelims this morning.

Pieter Timmers (Belgium) clocked a 48,32 100m freeystyle and is the #1 seed for finals. Vladimir Morozov will be in the second seed tonight in 48,49, he set the fastest SC time in 2016 with a 45,57 at the World Cup in Chartres which took place immediately after the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

Katinka Hosszu (HUN) set herself up as the #1 seed for the women’s 200 m freestyle final, she clocked a 1:59,25. China’s Jiaqui Zhang will be in the second seed tonight (2:03,32). Hosszu was the fastest women so far this year in 1:52,08, set at the FINA World Cup stop in Berlin.

Breeja Larson came in with the 3rd fastest time in 1:06,16.
