World Junior Record-holder and #1 seed in the 100-meter backstroke, Russia’s Kliment Kolesnikov, is not on the start list for Day One’s preliminary heats at the 2017 FINA World Junior Swimming Championships. That moves Spain’s Hugo Gonzalez up to the #1 seed with his entry time of 54.18. Also missing from the championship-seeded heats of the men’s 100 back is #18 Umitcan Gures of Turkey.

In the men’s 400 free, the only missing member of the circle-seeded heats is second-seed, Richard Marton of Hungary. Canada’s Mabel Zavaros, #11 on the psych sheet in the women’s 400 IM, will not take part in tomorrow morning’s heats.

The top 24 seeds in the women’s 50 breast, men’s 100 breast, and women’s 100 back are all expected to participate in their respective events.

Among the expected entrants in the men’s 4×100 meter freestyle relay, only South Africa did not show up on the start list. Neither Turkey nor Great Britain will field a relay in the women’s 4×200 freestyle.
