The latest engagement of the former Energy Standard holders for the Isl semifinals, the World Swimming Championships, begins in Eindhoven with the victory of Sarah Sjostrom in 55 ″ 61: the Swede boasts the world record in 54 ″ 61. Uncle Tom Shields is instead a lightning bolt in the men’s 100 dolphins in 48 ″ 99: the South African Chad Le Clos remains at 1 ″ 07 from the American, who boasts the third fastest time in history in 48 ″ 47. The Belarusian Shkurdai in the 200 backstroke rejects the Dutch Kira Toussaint in 2’01 ″ 77. In the back, Ryan Murphy returns to dominate a Christian Diener, very fit in this period: 1’48 ″ 10. The Belarusian Ilya Shymnaovich is still far from Prigoda’s world record in the 200 breaststroke (2’00 ″ 16) but collects a 2’02 ″ 66. In the 50s he tries instead in 25 ″ 47 (25 ″ 25 is the time to beat) and scores twice in the double with Lima for the Energy Standards. The fast female relay was wonderful: with Haughey capable of being the fastest among the runners, and the Australians Emma McKeon and Madison Wilson who swam in the first 52 “00 and 51” 88 with their respective quartets finished in the supporting positions. Speaking of speed, the Australian Chalmers touches by 4 cents ahead of Ben Proud: 20 “82 and then wins the Roar with a 45” 12 in the fourth fraction. The Scottish Duncan Scott inflicts over 2 ″ in the 200 medley against the Brazilian Lanza: 1’54 ″ 46. The Jamaican Atkinson returns to win: 29 ″ 19. For a very precious penny, Ryan Murphi – disappointed by the Tokyo Games in the presence of the Russian Rylov – improves after a year the record of Islam and the USA in the 50 backstroke: 22 ″ 53, or the third world time trial ever after the record world championship of French Florent Manaudou (22 ″ 22, still absent in Eindhoven) and 22 ″ 47 of the Russian Kolesnikov, third today in 23 ″ 04.
Emma McKeon denies Sarah Sjostrom the fourth victory of the evening in a truly thrilling mixed relay final: 51 “18 against 51” 29 between the two fastest women in the world. Finally, the victory in the men’s mixed relay is not enough for the Energy Standard to finish in the lead the first day of the 5th stage, led by the London Roar of Chalmers and McKeon, really suspected to win the third Isl. Latest news: it was one of the few days without any blue or blue in the race (still out of the Franceschi of LA Current). Tomorrow at 7pm Sky Action will be replayed live.
