USA’s quartet of Jake Magahey (50.08), Carson Foster (50.21), Grace Cooper (55.07), and Maxine Parker (55.24) won their heat with the fastest overall qualifying time of 3:30.60.
Day Three Finals
At night, Ukraine’s Bukhov went 22.09 to Chaney’s 22.49 in the first 50 free semi-final.
Curtiss won the second semi-final with the only sub-22 of the night: 21.95. Tan was second again, this time with 22.47.
In the 100 butterfly final, Russia’s Andrei Minakov took home the gold with 51.25 over Italy’s Federico Burdisso (51.83) and Russia’s Egor Pavlov (51.90).
In semi-final 1 of the women’s 100 breast, Evgeniia Chikunova went 1:07.18 to lead the field. Americans Kaitlyn Dobler (1:08.29) and Ellie Andrews (1:08.52) were second and fourth in the heat. Between them, Eszter Bekesi of Hungary (1:08.34).
USA’s Chaney had a second semi-final on Thursday night. Swimming in the 50 back, he finished third with 25.60 behind teammate Wyatt Davis (25.16) and Russia’s Nikolay Zuev (25.44).
Gretchen Walsh of USA won the 100 free final with 53.74. Her teammate Torri Huskey placed second in 54.54. Australia’s Meg Harris rounded out the podium with 54.58.
Curtiss has a beautiful Popov-like long stroke. If he improves that dive, he will be scary.
Agreed! And he moves his head a lot too. He could be a threat for that number 2 spot if he can rail off a 21 mid which I’d say is realistic for next year. Exciting!
Walsh has an interesting recovery stroke depending if she is breathing or not. Don’t recall anyone with such a difference.
Yes, it looks strange. It took me a while to realize that breathing was the variable causing the difference
big shout out to the Foster family for these videos!
Yes!
