WOMEN’S 400 FREESTYLE – FINALS

  • World Record: 3:53.92 – TITMUS Ariarne (AUS) 14 DEC 2018
  • Championship Record: 3:53.92 – TITMUS Ariarne (AUS) 14 DEC 2018
  • World Junior Record: 3:53.97 – WANG Jianjiahe (CHN) 4 OCT 2018

Podium:

Chinese 19-year-old Li Bingjie left no opportunities for anyone to take the lead over her. Just 24 hours after cracking the Championships Record in the 800 free, Bingjie took the lead immediately in the 400, and managed to build that lead through the back half of the race. The 3rd 100 was huge for Bingjie, as she split 59.85, marking the only sub-1:00 split in the field.

Canadian 15-year-old Summer McIntosh grabbed Silver with a 3:57.87, just 0.12 seconds off her Canadian Record from this fall. Siobhan Haughey grabbed another medal, this time Bronze. After breaking the World Record in the 200 free, Haughey swam this race rather conservatively, splitting 1:58.38 on the opening 200.
