The semi-finals of the women’s 100 back did not produce any lightning-quick times, but a tightly-bunched field should produce an exciting final. Russia’s Anastasia Fesikova, the silver medalist in the 50 back, claimed the top seed in 59.38, three tenths ahead of Hungarian Olympic champion Katinka Hosszu (59.67). The 100 back is Hosszu’s first individual swim of the meet.
Italy’s Carlotta Zovkova took third in 59.88, one hundredth ahead of Denmark’s Mie Nielsen (59.89). Italy’s Margherita Panziera (59.90) and Great Britain’s Georgia Davies (59.97) also broke 1:00, and the last two finalists were Hungary’s Katalin Burian (1:00.01) and the Netherlands’ Kira Toussaint (1:00.02).
