Yulia Efimova was long and controlled in her semi-final heat of the women’s 200 breast as she will enter Friday’s final as the top seed in the event with a 2:21.49 to lead American Bethany Galat (2:21.86). Efimova was out in 1:10.55 and back in 1:10.94 as she leads Galat and Australia’s Taylor McKeown (2:22.10) into the final.
China’s Shi Jinglin (2:23.17), Canada’s Kierra Smith (2:23.18), Spain’s Jessica Vall (2:23.49), Great Britain’s Molly Renshaw (2:23.51) and USA’s Lilly King (2:23.81) will also swim in the final.
Efimova will be looking to recapture her world title from 2013 as she is the only swimmer in the final who has broken 2:21 as she has been 2:19 in the past.
