After placing 11th in heats of the women’s 200 butterfly, Australia’s Brianna Throssell has declined her spot in the semi-finals. Throssell was seeded tenth with 2:07.39 and placed third in her heat with 2:09.91. That was good enough to make the semi-finals by .72.
Throssell was entered in three individual events in Gwangju: 50 fly, 100 fly, and 200 fly. She made the final of the 100 fly on Monday night, finishing fifth overall with a PB of 57.09. On Sunday she swam in both the heats (53.66) and the final (53.34) of the Australian women’s 4×100 free relay that won gold with a new Championship Record. Throssell may be called upon to swim butterfly in the final of the mixed medley relay on Wednesday, especially if Emma McKeon, who scratched out of the 200 free on Tuesday due to illness, is still unavailable.
All other qualifiers for semi-finals and finals will swim on Wednesday evening.
The Day 4 evening session will begin at 8:00 P.M. Korean time on Wednesday, and will feature:
- Men’s 800 freestyle final
- Women’s 200 freestyle final
- Men’s 100 freestyle semi-finals
- Women’s 50 backstroke semi-finals
- Men’s 200 butterfly final
- Men’s 50 breaststroke final
- Women’s 200 butterfly semi-finals
- Men’s 200 IM semi-finals
- Mixed 4×100 medley relay
Italian Swimmers are so good looking
Their tap water must be more healthy than Texas Tap water
Paltrinieri on 7:39, one second slower than what I predicted
Christensen Denmark silver
Aubry France bronze
All European affairs
Paltrinieri will win in around 7:38
I wonder if this means she’s going to swim the mixed medley tonight? Would mean McKeon hasn’t recovered yet, which would be a blow to Australia chances.
Larkin’s also swimming the 200 IM immediately before the relay so chances seem kind of dead.
Not dead but I hope they scrape for a medal
Olympic finalist in this event, but has shown great progress in the sprint free races as of late…rained PBs at Trials. She also hit a PB here in the 1fly.
Likely to swim tonight mixed medley final
So weird the 100m girls are dropping like flies – Shayna jack and now mckeon
Saving herself for 4×200 free & medley relays as AUS has a small team and not enough reserve swimmers.
I’d say she is saving herself for the 4x200m Free relay – both finals (200m Fly and 4x200m Free relay are in same session).
