Meanwhile, Joao De Lucca (48.68) and Matheus Santana (48.80) snagged the two other men’s 400-meter relay spots for Brazil on the Olympic team. Cesar Cielo, meanwhile, elected to scratch the 100 free finale as he focuses on the 50 free later this week.

Women’s 200 fly
China’s Li Shuang won the women’s 200-meter fly tonight in a time of 2:11.46. That’s well off the FINA A cut of 2:09.33 to qualify for a spot on the Olympic roster.
Joanna Maranhao was the top Brazilian with a second-place time of 2:11.75, while Virginia Bardach of Argentina took third in 2:12.08.

Men’s 200 breast
Thiago Pereira just missed the FINA A cut of 2:11.66 with a winning time of 2:11.86. That means the two Olympic spots will go to Tales Cerdeira (2:10.99) and Thiago Simon (2:11.29), who previously posted FINA A cuts. Cerdeira did so during prelims today, while Simon pulled off his swim in December at the Brazil Open.

Simon (2:12.63), Cerdeira (2:12.72), Henrique Barbosa (2:13.33), Felipe Lima (2:14.94) and Matheus Neto (2:15.57) also swam in the finale.
