Lilly King and Ryan Murphy, both first time Olympians, swam incredible races to each win golds for the United States. The USA has asserted itself tonight, with Katie Meili, Conor Dwyer, and David Plummer picking up bronzes in their respective events.

Also added a medal was Kathleen Baker, who certainly was not expected to reach the podium in the 100 back. Baker touched 2nd in the 100 back, just one hundredth ahead of third.

The Australian team holds a slim lead for 2nd right now in the pool, and third place Hungary could get a huge boost tomorrow. Hungarian Katinka Hosszu is the huge favorite for the 200 IM gold tomorrow night, and on the men’s side, Laszlo Cseh and Tamas Kenderesi could both grab medals in the men’s 200 fly final.
