Katinka Hosszu competed in a total of five prelims during day 1 of the 2016 Bergen Swim Festival at the Alexander Dale Oen Arena in Norway.
Day one of the meet featured all prelims, setting up a super night of action tomorrow night. Hosszu wound up with the top seed in four of the five events. She clocked a 25.44 in the 50-meter free, a 1:09.06 in the 100-meter breast, a 27.00 in the 50-meter fly a 1:01.15 in the 100-meter back and a 1:57.27 in the 200-meter free.
Hosszu finished second in only one of the prelims, and that was the women’s 100-meter breast led by Hilda Luthersdottir. She posted a top time of 1:08.02, well off her eighth-ranked season best of 1:06.45 from the European Championships.
This comes just two days after she made a cameo in the women’s 400-meter IM at the Romanian Nationals.
Japan’s Kosuke Hagino, ranked third in the world in the 200-meter free with a 1:45.50 from Japanese Nationals, snatched the top seed in that event in 1:47.05.
