Finals Relay Line-Ups
Lane 1 –Canada: Blake Tierney, Finlay Knox, Ilya Kharun, Josh Liendo
Josh Liendo, silver in the 100 fly, will swim the free instead, an event in which he placed 13th.
Lane 2 – Great Britain: Oliver Morgan, Adam Peaty, Duncan Scott, Matt Richards
Like in the mixed medley, silver medalist in the 200 IM, Duncan Scott, will tackle the fly leg for the Brits.
Lane 3 – USA: Ryan Murphy, Nic Fink, Caeleb Dressel, Hunter Armstong
The USA appears to have made a full change, but in fact, there are only three new legs as Armstrong is flexed from the back to the free and will look to replicate his 46.75 split from the men’s 4×100 free relay.
Lane 4 – France: Yohann Ndoye-Brouard, Leon Marchand, Maxime Grousset, Florent Manaudou
France brings in the big guns for the last two legs. Grousset, who finished 5th in the 100 fly, jumps into his first relay, and Manaudou, the bronze medalist in the 50 free, will anchor.
Lane 5 – China : Xu Jiayu, Qin Haiyang, Sun Jiajin Pan Zhanle
China swaps out Wang for Sun. Neither made the semis of the 100 fly, but Sun was 51.85 in the prelims to Wang’s 52.37.
Lane 6 – Netherlands: Kai van Westering, Caspar Corbeau, Nyls Korstanje, Stan Pijnenburg
The Dutch make no changes.
Lane 7 – Australia: Isaac Cooper, Joshua Yong, Matt Temple, Kyle Chalmers
Australia adds in Temple to take on the fly leg. Temple finished 7th in the final of the individual 100 and was a part of last night’s bronze-winning mixed medley.
Lane 8 – Germany: Ole Braunschweig, Melvin Imoudu, Luca Armbruster, Josha Salchow
Germany swaps out Lucas Matzerath for Imoudu on the breast as the latter was 59.11 in the final to the former’s 59.30
Has anyone ever swam prelims in one stroke and finals in another? Or is hunter the first? Very cool trick by the magic man!
In short course worlds yes..
Rolling the dice with Armstrong
he outsplit Chalmers….
The exchanges…..all meet long we touch the wall first and enter the water second
Dear Magic Man,
We’ve greatly enjoyed your shows over the past few years. And while your opening trick this week was fascinating, the middle of the show was lackluster and lost our attention.
For your closing act, will you show us something we’ve never seen before?
Sincerely,
Your Hopeful Fans
USA the favorites but will have close competition with China and France. Although I’m nervous that Pan will somehow pull another gear and go a 45 split 💀
I am all in for the first 45 ever
And he’s done it wow
This comment aged well 🥲
Fink leading big time
What did Marchand split in prelims?
58.6
If USA can get 50.00 from CD I think they win
Are we on 45 watch from Pan?
