Women’s 100 back
Ukraine’s Daryna Zevina threw down a 56.23 to lead the women’s 100-meter back semis at Worlds.
Zevina’s time moved her up to third in the world behind Katinka Hosszu (55.34) and Emily Seebohm (55.47). Zevina, who won the 200 back world title in 2012, is looking to add a 100 back medal to her resume.
Seebohm, meanwhile, checked in with a second-seeded time of 56.32, while Hosszu grabbed the third seed in 56.65.
Hosszu is entered in 10 events, hoping to finish with at least a record-tying six golds. She missed out on her first gold with her loss to Mireia Belmonte Garcia earlier in the 200 fly. But, she bounced back to make the 100 back finale.
Great Britain’s Georgia Davies (56.82), Denmark’s Mie Nielsen (56.87), Australia’s Madi Wilson (56.91), Brazil’s Etiene Medeiros (57.13) and USA’s Kathleen Baker (57.25) will also vie for the world title.
