The seventh morning of prelims featured three individual 50-meter races: the women’s 50 free, men’s 50 back, and women’s 50 breast, as well as the longest race on the men’s docket – the men’s 1500 free.

Throughout the entirety of the prelims session, Swimming World photographer Becca Wyant was on deck capturing the action and excitement, while Swimming World’s Craig Lord, John Lohn, Liz Byrnes and Andy Ross reported on the action from Gwangju, South Korea.

Sarah Sjostrom posted the fastest time in the women’s 50 free, overcoming the first hurdle towards defending her 50 free title, while World Record holder Kliment Kolesnikov collected the top seed in the men’s 50 back. The 50 back provides Kolesnikov a chance to rebound after missing out on a spot on the 100 back podium.

One of the most surprising events of the morning was 14-year-old Bendetta Pilato claiming the top seed in the women’s 50 breast. The young Italian posted the only sub-30 second swim of the morning, while World Record holder and defending World Champion Lilly King picked up the second place seed.

Gregorio Paltrinieri of Italy led an all-European qualifying field in the men’s 1500 free.
