Rozaliya Nasretdinova representing Moscow, grabbed top seed in the 50 free prelims of the Day 7 at Russian Olympic Trals. This result is just 0.12 shy of the Olympic A Cut. 19 years old Nasretdinova who won this event at Universiade last summer, owns Junior World Record with 24.88, the result she will be trying to challenge in her next swims.
