About Fukuoka 2022
In January 2016, it was decided at the International Swimming Federation (FINA) Bureau meeting that the 2021 FINA World Championships would be held in Fukuoka. This will be the second time in 22 years the city will play host to the event since the 2001 World Championships, which was the first ever Championships to be staged in Asia.
The 19th FINA World Championships 2022 Fukuoka utilises the compact urban structure of Fukuoka and strives to maximise the value of the event through the city’s unique layout. It will save time on travel for athletes to liven up the event, and efficiently run the competition by utilising special temporary pools, aggregate venues and market streets.
Moreover, the event aims to create an innovative and easy-to-follow tournament by working with local technology companies to use the latest technology.

FINA confirms new dates for the FINA World Masters Championships 2022
The Japanese cities of Fukuoka, Kumamoto and Kagoshima will now host the premiere global aquatics event for masters competitors from 2-11 August 2023
The 19th FINA World Masters Championships 2022 were initially scheduled for 31 May – 9 June 2022 in the Japanese cities of Fukuoka, Kumamoto and Kagoshima. However, following the postponement of the 19th FINA World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, to 14-30 July 2023, all parties have agreed to reschedule the competition to 2-11 August 2023 to ensure a safe and secure event.
«The decision to reschedule the 19th FINA World Masters Championships 2022 has been jointly taken with the Fukuoka 2022 Organising Committee and relevant parties,” FINA President Husain Al-Musallam said. “Following the postponement of the 19th FINA World Championships 2022 Fukuoka, we believe that this is the best solution for the athletes, officials, fans and everyone involved. Hosting the 19th FINA World Masters Championships 2022 across the three beautiful cities of Fukuoka, Kumamoto and Kagoshima will provide a fantastic opportunity to inspire the next generation of aquatics stars in Japan and around the world.”
The FINA World Masters Championships 2022 Kyushu will welcome approximately 10,000 athletes from more than 100 countries.
FINA announces the competition schedule for the FINA World Championships Budapest 2022
FINA and the organising committee of the 19th FINA World Championships Budapest 2022 confirmed the competition schedule for the event, with 74 medal events taking place in five aquatics disciplines. The Hungarian capital city of Budapest will host swimming, artistic swimming, open water swimming, diving and water polo – from 18 June to 3 July 2022.
Budapest remains a focal point for elite aquatics athletes and championship events, having recently hosted the 17 th FINA World Championships in 2017 and the 7 th FINA World Junior Swimming Championships in 2019.
FINA has been consulting with athletes and other key stakeholders regarding the Budapest 2022 competition schedule. FINA and event organisers placed special consideration for the training and recovery challenges of a busy 2022 aquatics calendar and decided to have swimming take place during the first eight days of the event, rather than the customary second half of the event.
Budapest 2022 will begin with artistic swimming on the day of the Opening Ceremonies, 17 June, at the Szechy Outdoor Pool. Swimming will get underway on 18 June and run through 25 June at the legendary Duna Arena. The diving competitions will then run from 26 June – 3 July in Duna Arena. Diving will be also hosted at the Duna Arena from 26th June to 3rd of July, while Open Water Swimming will take place from 26-30 June at Lupa Beach in Budapest.
The preliminary rounds of water polo start on 20 June and will take place across four Hungarian cities – Sopron, Debrecen, Szeged, Budapest – with the crossovers, Quarter Final Rounds and Semi-Final Rounds being played in Szeged and Budapest. The Final Rounds of water polo will be played from 2-3 July at the Hajos Swimming Complex in Budapest.
FINA President Husain Al-Musallam noted that today’s announcement provides certainty for athlete preparation and training schedules.
“I am pleased to confirm the competition schedule for Budapest 2022, and to be able to provide some certainty for our athletes. We have been in continuous dialogue with our stakeholders, to come up with a competition schedule that showcases aquatics sport and takes into consideration the needs of the athletes,” the FINA President said. “We remain grateful to Budapest for their flexibility and willingness to host this edition of the FINA World Championships. I know we are all looking forward to seeing the world of aquatics sport come together again this summer in Budapest.”
FINA previously announced the Qualification Procedure and Prize Money and Awards for Budapest 2022. With an overall prize pool of USD 5,720,000 and a bonus of USD 50,000 for any new world record set in individual swimming events, athletes in Budapest will be competing for the highest purse ever offered at a FINA World Championships.
Everything you need to know about swimming at the 2022 FINA World Championships: Preview, schedule, and athletes to watch
Tokyo 2020 Olympic champions Caeleb Dressel, Katie Ledecky, and Kaylee McKeown headline the star-studded event in Budapest, Hungary from 18th June.
Can anyone stop Caeleb Dressel and Katie Ledecky at the 2022 FINA World Championships?
All eyes will be on the USA swimming duo, who won seven gold medals combined at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in 2021, and are heavy favourites to take home multiple medals once more.
Also keep an eye out for Australia’s backstroke queen Kaylee McKeown, who won three gold medals in Japan as a 19-year-old, and has added another event to her gruelling competition schedule this year.
The swimming action will take place 18-25 June in Budapest’s Duna Arena, a venue that is renowned for producing fast times. With so many records having been broken heading into the event, expect more to fall.
Check out our one-stop guide to the event below, which includes a schedule, athletes to look out for and how to watch the competition.
We will also be offering a daily live blog of the event on Olympics.com.
Katie Ledecky going for three individual golds
The absence of Australia’s Ariarne Titmus, who is skipping Worlds to focus on the 2022 Commonwealth Games, means that Katie Ledecky is the heavy favourite to take home gold in all four of her individual events.
In the backstroke, expect fireworks from 100m world record holder Kaylee McKeown.
To make versatile McKeown’s task even harder, she will also likely compete in the 200 individual medley, having swum a time this year that would have been good enough to land her another gold at Tokyo 2020.
With 100 butterfly Olympic champion Maggie MacNeil taking a break from individual swimming to focus on the relays and Emma McKeon another that chose to sit out the Worlds, Swedish veteran Sarah Sjostrom could retake her freestyle and butterfly world titles.
Sjostrom breaks 100m butterfly world record
Caeleb Dressel going for eight golds in Budapest
Caeleb Dressel won 15 World Championship medals between 2017 and 2019, including 13 golds.
He is the strong favourite to retain his four individual titles in 2022 in the 50 and 100 freestyle, and the 50 and 100 butterfly.
The Florida native will face strong competition in the 50 free from resurgent Brazilian Bruno Fratus, who told Olympics.com that he believes he can break the world record, while Rio 2016 Olympic gold medallist Kyle Chalmers will provide a stern test in both strokes.
Caeleb Dressel: Tokyo2020 Medal Moments
Men’s medley looking competitive
One of the most anticipated events will be the men’s medley races.
Japan’s reigning world champion over both 200 and 400 Seto Daiya looks back to his best after a disappointing Olympics. Unfortunately Great Britain’s Duncan Scott, who became his nation’s most successful Olympic swimmer ever in Tokyo, was a late withdrawal after contracting COVID.
Elsewhere, the USA triple threat of 400 IM Olympic champion Chase Kalisz, 200 specialist Michael Andrew and breakthrough star Carson Foster will all be confident of winning.
A new 100 breaststroke king will be crowned with Adam Peaty missing the event through injury, and flying Dutchman Arno Kamminga, who won two silver medals at Tokyo 2020, is considered by many to be his heir.
In the 200 breaststroke, Australia’s world record holder and Olympic champion Zac Stubblety-Cook is the man to watch.
The loudest cheer of the event will undoubtedly be reserved for home hero Kristof Milak, the 200 butterfly Olympic champion and world record holder who will be swimming in his favourite pool.

Budapest awarded extraordinary FINA World Championships, event to take place in June 2022
Budapest is set to hold a FINA World Championships from 18 June – 3 July 2022, a move that ensures athletes have a global aquatics championship to target in the summer of 2022.
BUDAPEST (Hungary) – The Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and FINA President Husain Al-Musallam today announced an agreement for Hungary’s capital city to hold a FINA World Championships from 18 June – 3 July 2022.
The agreement ensures athletes have a global aquatics championship to target in the summer of 2022. The agreement was reached after approval from the FINA Bureau today.
FINA and key stakeholders of the Fukuoka 2022 Organising Committee jointly agreed last week to move the FINA World Championships from 13-29 May 2022 to 14-30 July 2023 due to the current health impacts of the Omicron COVID-19 variant and the pandemic measures currently in place in Japan.
“As an aquatics community, we are finding solutions around the pandemic and today’s announcement is an important step in this process,” FINA President Husain Al-Musallam said. “We know we need to be imaginative in our approach in navigating through the current health crisis for our athletes. Today’s agreement is a testament to this work. FINA also recognises that the pandemic is evolving differently according to time and place. We are extremely fortunate to have event hosts that share our passion for aquatics and have the willingness, capability and flexibility to organise FINA’s most prestigious event. We are deeply grateful to all our hosts and know that aquatics athletes feel the same way.”
“With four FINA World Championships and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games over the next four years, we are maximising the racing opportunities and earnings potential for established and emerging aquatics athletes alike,” FINA President Al-Musallam added.
A regular stop for FINA Swimming World Cup, FINA Water Polo World League and FINA World Series events, Budapest previously hosted the FINA World Championships in 2017. That event saw 12 world records set in the pool during an event that drew record-breaking numbers of spectators and television viewers.
This FINA World Championships is set to feature five FINA aquatics disciples: swimming, diving, water polo, artistic swimming and open water swimming. FINA will continue to work towards similar event programming for high dive athletes and masters competitors.
FINA continues to consult athletes and stakeholders on the schedule for the FINA World Championships in Doha, Qatar and more information will follow as soon as possible.
FINA World Championships Budapest 2022: Swimming results, day six
Discover the full results from the five swimming finals on 23 June at the Budapest 2022 World Championships.
Australia and the United States shared glory in the five swimming finals on night six of the 19th FINA World Championships Budapest 2022 in Hungary.
It was a night of firsts, both for newcomers and veterans, as the Aussies Mollie O’Callaghan and world record holder Zac Stubblety-Cook each tasted their maiden world championship victories.
Meanwhile, Lilly King and Ryan Murphy – both veterans on the American team with multiple World golds – each also had their own firsts. King, a repeat 50m and 100m breaststroke champion, won her first 200m world title, while Murphy finally clinched a maiden individual crown to go with his collection of past relay world titles.
The U.S. also won the night’s men’s 4x200m freestyle relay to complete a sweep of both distance relays.

Демарш Рылова и ответ FINA: как Россия осталась без плавания
FINA отстранила пловцов из России и лишила Казань права на ЧМ-2022
Российский спортсмен, член сборной России (команда ОКР) Евгений Рылов
Григорий Сысоев/РИА «Новости»
Днем 23 марта двукратный олимпийский чемпион Евгений Рылов опубликовал у себя в социальных сетях пост, где выразил поддержку российским и белорусским пловцам, лишенным флага на соревнованиях под эгидой Международной федерации плавания (FINA), и объявил о пропуске мирового первенства 2022 года, которое пройдет в Будапеште с 18 июня по 3 июля 2022 года.
«В знак поддержки роccийcких паралимпийцев, вcех роccийcких cпортcменов, которых отcтранили от международных cоревнований, я отказываюcь ехать этим летом на чемпионат мира.
Теряя конкуренцию, cпорт теряет развитие. Спорт не может двигатьcя без доcтойных конкурентов.
Федерации должны cделать выводы о том, в каком направлении они хотят развивать cпорт и то ли хотел видеть Пьер де Кубертен, когда инициировал организацию Олимпийcких игр, которые должны были объединять людей», — написал Рылов.
Пост в социальных сетях вызвал реакцию Международной федерации. FINA завершила дело, начатое Рыловым, и отстранила всех остальных российских пловцов до конца текущего года (соответственно, чемпионат мира атлеты из России пропустят), а также лишила Казань права проведения мирового первенства по плаванию на короткой воде, которое было запланировано на декабрь 2022 года.
Также международная федерация открыла дисциплинарное дело в отношении Рылова, посетившего вместе с другими олимпийцами 18 марта митинг-концерт в поддержку спецоперации России на Украине, прошедший на московском стадионе «Лужники».
«Дисциплинарная комиссия FINA возбудила дело против российского пловца Евгения Рылова за возможное нарушение правил FINA после его предполагаемого участия в митинге на стадионе «Лужники» в Москве. Исполнительный директор FINA потребовал ускорить разбирательство», – говорится в заявлении пресс-службы организации.
Международная федерация плавания оказалась одной из немногих организаций, которая разрешила российским спортсменам выступать на турнирах под своей эгидой после того, как большая часть российского спорта оказалась в изоляции на международной арене в связи с политической ситуацией. Бюро FINA приняло новый устав, который дает право не допускать к соревнованиям под эгидой организации российских и белорусских пловцов, а также официальных лиц, представляющих эти страны. Однако организация выступила против полного запрета и позволила спортсменам из России и Белоруссии выступать в нейтральном статусе. Но вместе с введением нового устава руководство организации признало тот факт, что опасения по поводу безопасности спортсменов и проведения соревнований могут в некоторых случаях служить основанием для исключения спортсменов и/или команд при определенных обстоятельствах.
«Новый устав предоставляет FINA право рассматривать участие спортсменов и официальных лиц в соревнованиях в каждом конкретном случае в чрезвычайных ситуациях. FINA потенциально может запретить спортсменам и официальным лицам из России и Белоруссии посещать любые предстоящие мероприятия FINA, если их присутствие угрожает безопасности и благополучию спортсменов или ставит под угрозу проведение соревнований.
FINA будет внимательно просматривать все мероприятия в календаре, прежде чем принимать решение об отстранении спортсменов или команд от участия в них. Эти проверки будут уважать всех спортсменов и их права, а также обеспечивать безопасное проведение мероприятий FINA», — указано в заявлении Международной федерации.

Re-live updates from Budapest, Hungary, as competition continues with artistic swimming and swimming on 22 June 2022.
Canada’s Summer McIntosh set two new world junior records on the fifth night of swimming finals at the 19th FINA World Championships Budapest 2022.
She won a gold and a bronze on a successful evening for the Canadians, who also picked up another gold through Kylie Masse and another bronze through Joshua Liendo Edwards.
David Popovici of Romania and Leon Marchand of France each completed doubles in their respective strokes – Popovici over the 100 and 200 free and Marchand in the 200 and 400 IM – while the USA won the women’s 4x200m free relay.
Japan’s Inui Yukiko also secured a gold in artistic swimming earlier in the day.
Check out the full results from the day’s five swimming finals.
Olympics.com carried live updates the entire day from Budapest, which you can re-live as they happened below.
All times Central European Time (UTC/GMT +2 hours). Most recent updates first.
We’ve been hearing more from David Popovici in a post-race press conference.
Let’s leave the last word with him today.
On why his English is so good:
On the size of his reception awaiting in Romania:
«I wouldn’t mind a big reception. I usually don’t like it but this time we have earned our celebration!»
On his tactics for the 100 free:
«We just go out really fast and come back as fast as we can. It’s as simple as that. It’s an animal instinct race. It’s not the pure raw power of the 50, and it has more of a tactical element to it, but still some savageness, some pure speed.»
\On winning the 200 by a big margin, but coming from behind to win a close 100: \
«Both have their pros and cons. Winning a tight race like this is more frightening but I like both. I like the thrill part of this race. I like pressure, the enthusiasm, the cheering and I like the competition spirit and atmosphere. The bigger the crowd, the better I am.»
On being younger than most 100 freestyle racers:
Canada start well with Summer McIntosh, and she’s in the lead through the first 100.
The 15-year-old is dominating and has one and a half body lengths at the first changeover. Her split of 1:54.79 would have won the individual event at these Championships. That split is a new world junior record – her second of the evening.
Kayla Sanchez has a job on her hands to maintain that lead. And she is, in fact dipping under the world record split at 300m. The Chinese are some way back.
Taylor Ruck will take the third set of 200 here with the Canadians back outside the world record split, but here come the Aussies in lane 4! And it’s Australia who lead at 400m. Don’t forget, Katie Ledecky has this leg for the USA.
All to play for here. Ruck has the lead back at 450 by around three-tenths. Kiah Melverton of Australia has no real answer to Ledecky though. Canada, Australia, USA, at 500m but only 0.3 seconds between them.
Here comes Ledecky! She’s opened up a lead at 550. She could put the Americans in a really strong position going into the anchor leg here.
Ledecky hands off with a lead of 1.07 seconds over Australia – Mollie O’Callaghan on the anchor – and Canada with Penny Oleksiak are back in third.
The lead is around a body length at 700m. Australia turn in second and Canada in third. Ledecky’s split, by the way, was 1:53.6.
And that third split has propelled the United States to relay gold.
Australia come home for silver and Canada just hold off China for bronze.
7:41.45 in a new Championship record time.
The night’s final event in the pool is the women’s 4x200m freestyle relay.
New Zealand are in lane 8, replacing Great Britain who have scratched; Japan in lane 1; Brazil in lane 7; hosts Hungary in lane 2; Canada in lane 6; the USA – with Katie Ledecky swimming third – in lane 3; China are in lane 5; and Australia are the top qualifiers in lane 4.
The world record belongs to the Chinese at 7:40.33 from the Olympic Games last summer. China also hold the Championship record from 2009.
And no surprises as to the identity of the fastest qualifier in the men’s 200m backstroke, with USA’s Ryan Murphy – the 100m WR holder – topping the timesheets.
Brodie Williams, Luke Greenbank, Mewen Tomac, Adam Telegdy, Shaine Casas, Roman Mityukov, and Benedek Kovacs join him.
There’s no room for Mitch Larkin, who’s first reserve in ninth.
Lilly King, arguably the favourite to win the women’s 200m breaststroke in the absence of world record holder and Olympic champion Tatjana Schoenmaker, is safely through to the final of that event as the second seed.
She was out-qualified by Australia’s Jenna Strauch, and they are joined in the final by Kotryna Teterevkova, Kate Douglass, Kelsey Wog, Molly Renshaw, Abbie Wood, and Francesca Fangio.
Straight on to our fourth final of the evening, the men’s 200 IM.
In lane 8, Matthew Sates of South Africa; in lane 1, Lewis Clareburt of New Zealand; in lane 7, Tom Dean of Great Britain; in lane 2, Hubert Kos of Hungary who gets a nice cheer from the crowd; in lane 6, Chase Kalisz of the USA; in lane 3, Seto Daiya of Japan; in lane 5, Carson Foster of USA; and the top seed in lane 4, Leon Marchand of France.
The four in the middle lanes are the heavy favourites. The world record of 1:54.00 belongs to Ryan Lochte and was set in 2011.
Off on the first 50 and Kos has the best reaction off the blocks. Foster leads through the first length as they move onto the backstroke. The American is being pushed by Kos, the world junior record holder.
Onto the breaststroke and Foster leads from Marchand, who has really closed the gap to the American and has just edged ahead as they switch to the freestyle for the final leg.
The Frenchman pulls away and has a clear lead now. Leon Marchand completes the IM double in 1:55.22!
Foster takes silver and Seto the bronze.
«It was amazing. It’s very exciting to race these guys. It was such a fun race,» Marchand says. «I was pretty good with my underwater. I had pretty good endurance.»
We’re now hearing the Romanian national anthem for the second time this week for David Popovici after his 100m free triumph.
Here’s what he had to say in the mixed zone:
«I feel good, I think the two golds are going to be fairly heavy (on my neck) taking them home!»
On setting the same time as Kyle Chalmers when he won gold at Rio 2016:
«I hope Caeleb is OK and he comes back strong.»
No surprises as to the identity of the top seed for tomorrow’s men’s 200m breaststroke final.
It’s world record holder and Olympic champion Zac Stubblety-Cook of Australia, who’s qualified with a 2:06.72.
Others through are Anton McKee, Hanaguruma Yu, Erik Persson, Matti Mattsson, Caspar Corbeau, Nic Fink, and Mura Ryura.
No rest for the wicked here in Budapest. Moving straight on to our next final, the women’s 50m backstroke.
In lane 8, Medi Harris of Great Britain; Kira Toussaint of Netherlands in lane 1; in lane 7, Kaylee McKeown of Australia; in lane 2, Katharine Berkoff of USA; in lane 6, Ingrid Wilm of Canada; in lane 3, Analia Pigree of France; in lane 5, Regan Smith of USA – fresh from the 200 fly final –; and lane 4 sees Kylie Masse of Canada.
A single length sprint of the pool.
There’s a solid start in 7 from McKeown, the world record holder over the 100m distance. It’s a very even race through 30m. All of them are nearly at the wall in the same time and it’s gold to Kylie Masse, silver to Berkoff, and bronze to Pigree.
Under half a second split first from eighth; just 0.16 seconds between the top six.
«The 50 is fun. It’s a dream to be able to come to the pool and only swim one length,» Masse says with a grin. «It goes by really fast. I’m just focussing on trying to nail the touch. It comes down to the really small details and I’m just trying to look for the flags and get to the wall as fast as possible.»
Up next is the men’s blue-riband event, the men’s 100m freestyle final.
No Caeleb Dressel, remember, but all eyes on the 200 world champ David Popovici of Romania, who’s been on a tear and has the world record in his sights.
From 1 through 8: Brooks Curry of USA, Pan Zhanle of China, Josh Liendo Edwards of Canada, Popovici of Romania, Maxime Grousset of France, Lewis Burras of Great Britain, Alessandro Miressi of Italy, and Nandor Nemeth of Hungary.
The world record is 46.91, belonging to Cesar Cielo Filho and dating back to 2009. Popovici’s 47.13 from semis is the world junior record.
They’re off. Grousset reacts the quickest off the blocks. Liendo Edwards has started well and turns in the lead ahead of Popovici and Grousset.
The two in the middle have just caught the Canadian now and it’s those three who will be on the podium, and at the wall David Popovici out-touches Grousset by 0.06!
47.58 the winning time; Liendo Edwards takes bronze.
«I guess I’m a little more proud of the 200; we’re going to discuss the race, see how it went, what I could’ve improved and what I could’ve done better. We’ve got a long, long road ahead,» Popovici says.
Sarah Sjostrom, the world record holder, is through to the final of the women’s 100 free, her first event of these Championships.
She qualifies second-fastest and is joined by Mollie O’Callaghan, Torri Huske, Penny Oleksiak, Cheng Yujie, Kayla Sanchez, Claire Curzan, and Marie Wattel.
First up is the 200m butterfly final for women.
Defending champ Boglarka Kapas of Hungary is in 8; Denmark’s Helena Bach is in 1; in lane 7, Elizabeth Dekkers of Australia; in lane 2, Olympic champion Zhang Yufei of China; in lane 6, Lana Pudar of Bosnia and Herzegovina; in lane 3, Regan Smith of USA; in lane 5, Hali Flickinger of USA; and in lane 4, the top qualifier who set a world junior record in the semis, Canada’s Summer McIntosh.
Zhang has the fastest reaction time and has pulled into the lead early on. She turns at 50 in the lead by over half a second with Smith and McIntosh second and third.
The Chinese swimmer’s fast start will probably start to hurt really soon and Smith and McIntosh have taken the lead down below a half-second at the halfway mark.
McIntosh has now edged ahead on the third length and is a quarter of a second up on Smith at 150, with Zhang in third.
Coming home for the final length now and McIntosh still leads. Can the Americans find anything?
No. Summer McIntosh wins in a new world junior record 2:05.20. Flickinger wins silver and Zhang overhauled Smith for bronze.
«I’m a little bit in shock right now. I’m really happy with how I swam the race. Going into tonight I just wanted to try my hardest,» McIntosh says in the post-race arena interview. «There’s so much energy coming off everyone in the stands and I just to feed off that.»
Arno Kamminga, who qualified 10th overall from this morning’s men’s 200m breaststroke heats, has withdrawn from the evening’s semi-finals.
Here’s a reminder of what’s on the schedule tonight:
Caeleb Dressel, who was a medical scratch from last night’s men’s 100m freestyle semi-finals in the pool, will not compete any further in Budapest.
NBC Sports has this USA Swimming statement:
After conferring with Caeleb, his coaches and the medical staff, a decision has been made to withdraw him from the FINA World Championships. Our priority is and will always be the health of our athletes and we will continue to give Caeleb the assistance he needs to recover quickly.
Inui Yukiko has been unbeatable this week in Budapest in the solo categories.
The Japanese top-scores on 95.3667 to win her second gold, this one in the solo free to go along with her solo tech gold.
Ukraine’s Marta Fiedina and Greece’s Evangelia Platanioti complete the podium.
The United States’ Anita Alvarez needs some medical attention after finishing her routine as she appears to have lost consciousness at the end. It’s something that has happened to her before, notably after her Olympic qualification routine last summer.
We wish her a fast recovery.
The women’s solo technical world champ, Inui Yukiko of Japan, is also the top qualifier in the solo free final.
She scored 94.5667 in preliminaries, ahead of Marta Fiedina and Evangelia Platanioti.
Those three will be the medal favourites.
The day’s only artistic swimming preliminary has just concluded with China topping the standings and making it through to the final on Friday.
With an impressive routine that clearly wowed the judges, the Chinese scored 95.8000 points – nearly a point and a half clear of second-placed Ukraine.
Those two teams will be joined in the final by Japan, Spain, Italy, France, Greece, USA, Mexico, Israel, Kazakhstan, and Great Britain.
We’re going to take a break on the blog for now and return just before 4pm for the artistic swimming women’s solo free final.
It has been a long journey to get to the 2022 FINA World Championships for USA’s Shaine Casas, who is one of the favourites to medal in the men’s 200 backstroke after a commanding prelims performance this morning.
The California native was considered a top-two certainty to make his nation’s Olympic team for Tokyo 2020 in the 100 and 200 backstroke, but came up short in both.
In a candid interview with Olympics.com, the 22-year-old reveals how overconfidence cost him, why he has a Scarface tattoo, and why Michael Jordan is his hero. You can read our interview with Shaine Casas here.
USA quartet Alex Walsh, Claire Weinstein, Hali Flickinger, and Bella Sims put in a powerful display to win Heat 1 of women’s 4×200 freestyle in 7:49.25.
But there was still everything for the individual swimmers to play for, with Leah Smith and Katie Ledecky almost certain to be brought into that team for this evening’s final.
Heat 2 was a much more closely-contested race, with Australia’s Leah Neale, Lani Pallister, Brianna Throssell, and Kiah Melverton delivering the win in 7:47.61. Individual 200 freestyle silver medallist Mollie O’Callaghan and Madison Wilson will be added for the medal race later.
Olympic champions China finished second to Australia, with individual 200 free world champion Yang Junxuan, bronze medallist Tang Muhan, and 200 butterfly Olympic champion Zhang Yufei set to significantly upgrade their team.
This evening’s finallists will be (in order of fastest heat times): Australia, China, USA, Canada, Hungary, Brazil, Japan, and Great Britain.
Australia’s Zac Stubblety-Cook produced a late burst to secure the men’s 200 breaststroke heats fastest time in 2:09.09. The Olympic champion and world record holder is looking good to take his first world title after that run.
Dutchman Caspar Corbeau led for most of that race but was forced to settle for second overall and a place in this evening’s semis.
USA’s Charlie Swanson won his heat in 2.09.36 to take third overall, while his compatriot Nic Fink, who took out the 50 breaststroke title yesterday, struggled to maintain his pace over the longer race but did enough to qualify.
Japan sealed a 1-2 heat finish with Hanaguruma Yu (2:09.86) and Mura Ryuya respectively progressing.
Netherlands’ Arno Kamminga, still looking for his first world championship title after taking second in the 100 breaststroke earlier this week, also qualifies for the semis after finishing behind the Japanese pair.
Heat 2 saw a massive performance from Canada’s Kelsey Wog who beat a star-studded field to seal the top women’s 200 breaststroke qualifying time in 2:24.37.
Lilly King returned to form to win an epic battle with Lithuania’s Kotryna Teterekova in the final heat, to secure the second and third-fastest times overall. Rio Olympic champion King, who was fourth in the 100 free final earlier this week, will be looking to silence her doubters in this evening’s semis.
Great Britain’s Molly Renshaw and King’s compatriot Kate Douglass also progress.
South African reigning Olympic champion Tatjana Schoenmaker decided to skip these championships in order to focus on the Commonwealth Games.
No one had any answer to World Championships rookie Shaine Casas’ pace as the USA star sealed the top spot in men’s 200 backstroke qualifying in 1:56.66.
Joshua Edwards-Smith of Australia took second in that heat, with Rio Olympic champion Ryan Murphy, chasing his first world title, making his move late in the race to secure third place and a place in this evening’s semis. They finished 1-2-3 overall as well.
Earlier, Great Britain’s Luke Greenbank, who led off Great Britain’s victorious men’s medley relay team at the 2019 World Champs, took an early lead and never relinquished it to win his heat in 1:57.33.
There was another British win in the next heat, with Brodie Williams setting a Personal Best time of 1:57.09. Australian former world champion Mitch Larkin finished fourth, just doing enough to qualify.
Australia’s Mollie O’Callaghan blasted through to this evening’s women’s 100 freestyle semis in the fastest time of 53.49.
Second overall went to Rio 2016 Olympic gold medallist Penny Oleksiak, who delivered a trademark finishing masterclass to overtake Team GB’s Anna Hopkin and take their heat in 53.7. Both progress to this evening’s semi-finals. The Canadian will be keen to redeem herself in this event after being disqualified from the 200m heats for movement on the block.
Third fastest was final heat winner Torri Huske, the USA’s 100 butterfly world champion from these championships, who finished in 53.72. Her 17-year-old compatriot Claire Curzan surprisingly faded to fifth place, but still did enough to qualify.
World record holder Sarah Sjostrom put on a comfortable, if conservative, to ensure her progression to the semis.
Australian Shayna Jack was a shock late scratch from these heats, having broken her hand this morning during training. She will play no further part in the 2022 World Championships. What a blow that is for her and the Australian relay teams. Here’s hoping she can still make the Commonwealth Games in one month’s time.
The Swedish sprinter won her first world title in 2009 and has competed at the top table ever since. It’s amazing to think that she’s still only 28 years old, and one of the favourites to win today’s women’s 100 freestyle heats.
A brief summary of her resume reads Rio 2016 Olympic champion (100 butterfly), and current long course world record holder in the 50 free, 100 free, 50 fly, and 100 fly! Quite simply, she’s one of the GOATS.
In February 2021, she broke her elbow after falling on ice, just months before the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. But showing her champion spirit, the eight-time world champion returned to training a month laterВ and managed to take out the 50 freestyle Olympic silver in Japan. A truly remarkable achievement.
Sjostrom starred in the new Olympics.com series «Splash In», where she explains how she was able to accelerate her recovery, and plans to dominate at the Paris 2024 Olympics. You can watch her episode below now.

FINA World Championships Budapest 2022: Swimming results, day seven
Discover the full results from the six swimming finals on 24 June at the Budapest 2022 World Championships.
Hungary’s Kristof Milak thrilled the home fans at the 19th FINA World Championships Budapest 2022 by winning his second gold medal of the Championships and completing the men’s 100 and 200 butterfly double on Friday (24 June), the seventh day of swimming finals.
Katie Ledecky moved into sole ownership of second place on the all-time gold medal list at the World Championships with her 19th title – and fifth straight in the women’s 800m freestyle.
There was also a triumphant return to the top step of the world podium for both Sarah Sjostrom of Sweden, returning from elbow surgery, and Ben Proud of Great Britain – who picked up his first Worlds gold in five years.
And Australia had a double celebration as Kaylee McKeown added the women’s 200m back world title to her Olympic crown before their mixed freestyle relay team broke the world record.

Melbourne to host 16th FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) 2022
FINA is pleased to announce that Melbourne, Australia, will host the FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) 2022 at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre from 13-18 December 2022.
The 16th event edition will be the first time that Melbourne has hosted this prestigious 25-meter event, with the state-of-the-art Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre as the host site. Set on the shores of Albert Park Lake, the city will welcome more than 1,000 athletes from over 180 countries for six days of world-class swimming action.
“FINA is delighted that the proud swimming nation of Australia will host the FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) for the first time,” said FINA President Husain Al-Musallam. “Australia has a great swimming tradition and we’re looking forward to coming back to Melbourne. I am sure this will be another highly successful FINA event that provides the world’s best short course swimmers with the environment to perform at their very best. We are incredibly grateful to our hosts for stepping forward to host this prestigious meet.”
Melbourne bid to host the short course world championships after FINA removed the event from Kazan (RUS) following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Australia’s “Garden City” has played host to many major aquatics events, including the FINA World Championships in 2007 and multiple FINA Swimming World Cups. Other FINA events in Australia have been the 1991 and 1998 World Championships, which were both held in Perth.
Re-live live updates from Budapest, Hungary, as swimming action began at the Duna Arena on 18 June 2022.
The 19th FINA World Championships Budapest 2022 are underway! The first day of action on 18 June saw nine sets of swimming heats and five finals. There was also artistic swimming including the first medal event of the Championships.
Olympics.com carried live updates the entire day from Budapest, which you can re-live as they happened below.
And why not check out all the results from the five swimming finals?
All times Central European Time (UTC/GMT +2 hours). Most recent updates first.
Hungarian swimming legend Katinka Hosszu qualified eighth for the women’s 200m IM final, and later explained that she has not been feeling at full fitness for the past year.
«I’ve told the Hungarian people that I’ve not been at 100 per cent fitness after Tokyo 2020. I wasn’t even sure if I was coming back or what, but obviously when I heard that Worlds were going to be in Budapest then I had to be here. So I’m really happy with my swim.
«Mostly Hungarian people are appreciative of my performances and the way I think I carried the Hungarian flag in many competitions in my career. I have explained a lot of things that happened to me in my documentary and I feel much closer to the Hungarian people that I used to.
«I’ve come back (to swimming) for myself, and for Hungary.»
We’ll leave you on that note from Day 1 but we’ll be back bright and early from 8:30am tomorrow for more updates from the second day of swimming action.
Leon Marchand, the new second-fastest man ever in the 400m IM, has been speaking at a post-race press conference. Here’s a selection of what he had to say:
«It’s very special for me because my dad supports me every day,» Marchand said when asked about following in his father’s footsteps 24 years after his dad won a silver medal at Worlds. «He’s given me so much advice about swimming, about everything. I’m just very happy to bring him this medal and to keep this swimmer family (tradition) going.»
What advice has he given you?
«He told me very early that swimming is hard and to be able to be at this level today you have to train a lot. I think it’s been five, six years that I’ve dedicated my life to swimming so I think that’s a good gift for me and for my family because they have to wake me up every day and bring me to practice so it’s pretty cool.
«I trained with Chase (Kalisz) for a month before coming here in Colorado at altitude and he’s just a great teammate. I’m very grateful to have him in this (training) team at the moment. It was very fun to race him as a few years ago I was like, ‘this is a legend’ but now I can beat his record and have fun with these guys as they are so fast.
«The first goal of this meet was to be way better in the butterfly and backstroke which I did with 1:58 and I know that in breaststroke I am maybe the fastest in the world which is my main stroke actually. This morning I was trying to stay easy because I knew I had the afternoon. My goal was to be 4:06, 4:07, and I swam 4:04 so I don’t know what to say.»
Straight on to the last final of the evening, the women’s 4×100 free relay.
Hungary in lane 8, Brazil in lane 1, Netherlands in lane 7, China in lane 2, Great Britain in lane 6, Canada in lane 3, USA in lane 5, Australia in lane 4.
A quick start for Brazil, China, and Canada.
Torri Huske, leading off for USA, is inside the WR split at 50m. Australia take the lead before the first changeover though, barely. Still inside world record time.
The Aussies hold the world record, set at last year’s Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. And they are still inside the split at 200m, and are ahead of the Americans by nearly a second.
Team USA has some work to do here to close this gap. Just outside the world record split at 250 as Canada move into second place with Margaret Mac Neil.
Penny Oleksiak will anchor the Canadians, but it’s still the Aussies ahead at the final change by 1.34 seconds.
Shayna Jack is the Australian anchor. Can she hold this lead? Yes, the advantage is growing at 350.
Australia win gold in 3:30.95, from Canada and USA.
Time for the first of the relay finals, the men’s 4×100 free.
Serbia are in lane 8, Brazil in lane 1, Italy in lane 7, Canada in lane 2, Great Britain in lane 6, Hungary in lane 3, Australia in lane 5, USA in lane 4.
Off they go with Brazil, Serbia, and USA the fastest off the blocks. Caeleb Dressel is leading off for the Americans and has already opened up a massive lead.
Dressel fades hard towards the end of his leg though and the US hold only 0.2 seconds of an advantage at the first change over Canada.
Hungary, roared on by the crowd, have overtaken the Canadians on the second leg.
The Americans still lead at halfway from Hungary and Canada. Team USA are not far off the world record split.
Italy with a strong third leg have moved into second place at 250. The final change takes place with USA just inside the world record split. They have a huge lead.
The world record is slipping away now so the question is who will take silver and bronze behind the Americans. Any of four or five teams could take it.
USA wins gold from Australia and Italy.
3:09.34 the provisional time.
Of course, we wait to see if there are any DQs on changeovers. All clean. So the podium is confirmed.
The men’s 400m individual medley final is next.
Brendon Smith of Australia in lane 8; Lewis Clareburt of New Zealand is in lane 1; Honda Tomoru of Japan in lane 7; Balazs Hollo of Hungary gets a huge cheer as he’s introduced in lane 2; Seto Daiya of Japan, one of the favourites, in lane 6; Olympic champion Chase Kalisz of USA in lane 3; USA’s Carson Foster in lane 5; and top qualifier Leon Marchand of France is in lane 4.
Kalisz holds the Championship Record; Michael Phelps’ world record is 14 years old.
Seto is quickest off the blocks with Honda as they start with the fly – they are also the two fly specialists. Honda turns first at 50 and holds the lead through the fly as they go into the backstroke.
Marchand has closed the gap on this lap as has Foster, and it’s the American who’s opened up a slight lead through 150.
The American still leads as they head into the breaststroke. Marchand has pushed ahead of Foster and has a half a body length on Foster at the 250 turn. Really strong from the Frenchman on this breaststroke lead and he is under world record time. Wow!
The final turn comes and Marchand is a second ahead of Phelps’ time. Are we about to see history?
This is the oldest world record still existing in swimming, from the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. This is a huge lead for the Frenchman and it’s now a time trial against the clock.
Leon Marchand wins gold in a new Championship record time of 4:04.28! Wow! That’s also the fastest a European man has swum the event. The only man ever to go quicker is Phelps.
Foster and Kalisz complete the podium.
«I really felt this good this morning, I didn’t know I would be that fast at night! I was just trying to focus on myself, this is the first time I’m favourite in a final and I think I did pretty well, I’m just happy with it,» Marchand says.
Meanwhile, here are the eight qualifiers from the semis for the men’s 100m breaststroke – without injured world record holder Adam Peaty:
Nicolo Martinenghi, Nic Fink, Arno Kamminga, James Wilby, Yan Zibei, Lucas Matzerath, Zac Stubblety-Cook, Andrius Sidlauskas.
That means a surprise elimination for Michael Andrew.
And the women’s 200m individual medley finalists are:
Alex Walsh, Leah Hayes, Kaylee McKeown, Mary-Sophie Harvey, Kim Seoyeong, Anastasia Gorbenko, Omoto Rika, Katinka Hosszu.
The crowd really got into that second semi to cheer on home star Hosszu. And the Hungarian just squeaked into the final.
Katie Ledecky has been speaking to Olympics.com’s Andrew Binner in the mixed zone in Budapest after her win. Here’s what she had to say:
«It feels good. It’s the fastest I’ve ever been at Worlds so I’m really happy with that and really excited about the rest of the week I have ahead of me.»
On fighting to regain her world record from Titmus, the American said: «I don’t know. I’m always just trying to improve and I’ll know that we’ll have some great races going forward. Summer (McIntosh) is now in the sub 4 minute club so it’s only going to get harder. I know I have my work cut out for me and I know it’s a good stepping stone here for me having a baseline for the next couple of years heading to Paris.»
Ledecky also spoke about her new training group with the men’s team at the University of Florida, where Caeleb Dressel also trains.
«It’s been a lot of fun. It’s been refreshing to have new teammates, new coaches and a different perspective. The goal this year was to winВ golds in the events i’m swimming and really not setting any time golds. Just trying to improve each meet and so far I’ve done that so that’s good.
«I think it’s just learning a lot of new things every day. New training sets, new techniques i’m working on under a fresh set of eyes. Just continuing to have a lot of fun in different ways.»
Women’s 400m freestyle final time. Isabel Gose of German in lane 8; Tang Muhan of China in lane 1; Erika Fairweather of New Zealand in lane 7; Leah Smith of USA in lane 2; Kiah Melverton of Australia in lane 6; Lani Pallister of Australia in lane 3; Summer McIntosh of Canada in lane 5; and Katie Ledecky of USA in lane 4.
Ledecky held the world record until last month, when Ariarne Titmus – not competing here in Budapest – broke it during Australian trials. She does hold the Championship Record.
The American is fastest off the blocks in 0.68 seconds.
It’s Pallister who turns first after 50, with Ledecky right behind. Now the swim legend pulls away by about half a body length.
That gap holds steady, and the American turns it on coming back towards halfway. It’s about a full body length at 200m in 1:56.99. McIntosh, the young Canadian, is second.
Ledecky has dropped back just a touch from the world record split but she is still comfortably ahead of McIntosh heading into the final hundred.
The American touches home first, in 3:58.15, and that’s a new Championship Record breaking her own mark.
Her 16th World title. McIntosh finishes second and Leah Smith takes bronze.
«I’m very happy at that swim, glad to get Team USA its first gold medal and Leah got in there for bronze. This is my first race this week; I’m excited for those [other] races,» Ledecky says.
Great Britain’s Ben Proud is the man who will get the middle lane for the men’s 50m fly final after topping the timesheets in today’s semis.
He’ll be joined in the final by Caeleb Dressel, Thomas Ceccon, Michael Andrew, Szebasztian Szabo, Dylan Carter, Teong Tzen Wei, and Nicholas Santos. Santos is making a return to the pool aged 42.
The stunning thing? World record holder Andrii Govorov of Ukraine – for whom even being in Budapest was an achievement – finished last in the second semi and is out.
Torri Huske, the top qualifier from this morning’s heats, is also the top qualifier into the finals following tonight’s semis.
The American clocked 56.29 after turning under the world record split.
Also through are Marie Wattel, Claire Curzan, Brianna Throssell, Louise Hansson, Zhang Yufei, Lana Pudar, and Farida Osman.
The first final this evening is in the men’s 400m freestyle.
In Lane 8, Marco de Tullio of Italy; in Lane 1, Trey Freeman of USA; in Lane 7, Kim Woomin of South Korea; in Lane 2, Kieran Smith of USA, the Olympic bronze medallist; in Lane 6, Lukas Martens of Germany; in Lane 3, Guilherme Pereira da Costa of Brazil; in Lane 5, Elijah Winnington of Australia; and in Lane 4, Felix Auboeck of Austria.
The world record is from 2009, and that will likely not be threatened today.
Winnington has the fastest reaction time off the blocks, with the Australian out to a quick start as Auboeck falls back and makes the first turn last as he conserves energy for later in the race.
The Australian Winnington is well inside the world record split at 100m in 52.96. He has a lead of about half a body length over Martens at 200m. Martens has edged ahead at 250m, and holds that lead into the final 100m.
Auboeck has left himself with too much to do in the final lap. Winnington makes a huge surge after the final turn and pulls away from Martens.
Gold for Australia and Elijah Winnington. Silver to Lukas Martens of Germany. Bronze to Brazil’s Guilherme Pereira da Costa.
The winning time 3:41.22. That’s fast. How fast? Eighth-fastest time in history.
«It’s unbelievable. I’m just trying to have fun, trying to enjoy this experience and that definitely helped,» Winnington says.
«I was in a world-class field so I knew we would be going something pretty good,» he adds of his time.
Speaking later in the mixed zone to Olympics.com, the Australian said: «I wasn’t focussing on the results. You probably saw me walking out just looking around, enjoying the experience. My first world champs and second international final after the Olympics. I just wanted to enjoy it and clearly enjoying it brought out the best in me.
«I’ve worked super hard to get myself to where I am mentally. It’s really just a mental game now. I was chatting to Kyle Chalmers earlier this week and he said that everyone at this international stage, they all put in work, they’re all talented, but it’s who is tougher in the mind.
«I don’t want to sound cocky but with 75m to go I knew in my mind I was going to be the world champion. Enjoyment brings confidence.»
This is the schedule for tonight’s evening session in the pool, from 18:00 local time:
The official Opening Ceremony is underway in the Duna Arena ahead of the first evening of swim finals, which begin at 6pm.
That is indeed a DJ on the diving platform.
Re-live updates from Budapest, Hungary, from day three of the swimming action at the Duna Arena on 20 June 2022.
Thomas Ceccon‘s stunning men’s 100m backstroke world record highlighted day three of swimming finals at the 19th FINA World Championship Budapest 2022 in Hungary.
It was a successful night for Italy, with 17-year-old Benedetta Pilato also clinching the women’s 100m breaststroke title.
Meanwhile, Katie Ledecky won her 17th world title, putting her just one behind Ryan Lochte for second on the all-time list (Michael Phelps, unsurprisingly, is first), while Regan Smith and David Popovici were the other victors on the day.
Check out the full results from the day’s five swimming finals.
Earlier in artistic swimming, Italy’s Giorgio Minisini and Lucrezia Ruggiero won the mixed duet technical final while Ukraine triumphed in the women’s team free combination.
Olympics.com carried live updates the entire day from Budapest, which you can re-live as they happened below.
All times Central European Time (UTC/GMT +2 hours). Most recent updates first.
We’ll end tonight’s live updates with reaction from the new world champ in the women’s 100m breaststroke, Benedetta Pilato.
«It’s really a surprise, I’m obviously happy. Really, I didn’t expect it, but before I swum I saw the lap from Thomas (Ceccon), and I was crying for him. I was there with tears and I didn’t know what to do, I thought ‘God, I have the race!’ and then I left! I ran to the Call Room.
We’re back tomorrow from 8:30am when we’ll also catch you up on tonight’s water polo scores with the preliminaries beginning in that competition.
Until then, thanks for joining us.
Time for the evening’s last final, the women’s 100m breaststroke.
Lane 8 sees world record holder Lilly King of USA; in lane 1, Molly Renshaw of Great Britain; in lane 7, Sophie Hansson of Sweden; in lane 2, Aoki Reona of Japan; in lane 6, Ruta Meilutyte, the 2012 Olympic champion from Lithuania; in lane 3, Tang Qianting of China; in lane 5, Benedetta Pilato of Italy; and in lane 4 is Germany’s Anna Elendt.
King – the surprise slowest finalist who only made it through after her teammate Annie Lazor was DQd in the semis – is lagging behind at 50. It’s Tang of China ahead at the turn.
Meilutyte has edged in front now, this could be a surprise.
And it’s Pilato who just edges Elendt out with Meilutyte taking bronze!
1:05.93 the winning time and Pilato is emotional in the pool. She can’t believe it. King pushed hard to finish just off the podium in fourth.
«I’m sorry, I’m super happy. It’s my dream and it’s come true tonight,» the 17-year-old says as she breaks down in her post-race interview.
The men’s 200m breaststroke semis have been taking place and Kristof Milak has sent the Hungarian crowd wild.
Milak is the fastest across the two heats and will be the top seed in tomorrow’s final, where he’ll be joined by Honda Tomoru, Noe Ponti, Leon Marchand, Luca Urlando, Tamas Kenderesi, Alberto Razzetti, and James Guy.
Katie Ledecky has stopped to speak to Olympics.com in the mixed zone. Here’s a selection:
On what it takes to be so consistent at such a high level:
«It takes a lot of work. It’s about taking care of myself, doing all the right things in and out of the pool to have that longevity. you can’t get complacent. You’ve just got to put in the work, even in recovery and all those types of things, especially as you get older.»
On her role models:
«There’s countless. It’s been great to see that swimmers are now sticking around longer and having longer careers especially on the female side. Given Title IX over the past 50 years and the improvements in professional sports, it’s allowed women to compete for longer and so I’m happy that I’ve had the career that I’ve had and I recognise that a lot of great female swimmers had to retire at a younger age because there weren’t the opportunities that I benefit from.»
On Chile’s Kristel Kobrich, the 36-year-old who finished eighth in the 1500 final:
«She’s incredible. I’m not going to be able to do this when I’m 36, so I told her after the race that she’s incredible to make a final at Worlds at that age and gives all of us a little perspective that distance swimmers can go long and have really stellar careers like that.»
We’ve just had the women’s 200m free semis and the big news is that Canada’s Penny Oleksiak – who would be a race favourite – was disqualified in the first heat.
We’ll have to wait to see if the Canadians choose to protest that.
The final eight are Freya Anderson, Madison Wilson, Mollie O’Callaghan, Charlotte Bonnet, Yang Junxuan, Taylor Ruck, Isabel Gose, and Tang Muhan.
Straight on to the other 100m backstroke final, this one for the men.
Romania’s Robert Glinta is in lane 8; in lane 1, Irie Ryosuke of Japan; in lane 7, world record holder Ryan Murphy of USA; in lane 2, Yohann Ndoye-Brouard of France; in lane 6, Ksawery Masiuk of Poland; in lane 3, Hunter Armstrong of USA; in lane 5, Thomas Ceccon of Italy; and in lane 4, the new championship record holder, Apostolos Christou of Greece.
The world record is 51.85 belonging to Murphy. Christou’s 52.09 from semis is the Championship record.
Murphy is fastest to react to the start buzzer and is in the lead in lane 7 at 50m, under the world record split.
The American is just ahead of Ceccon with around 25m to go, and the Italian may have just edged in front. This could be a world record, it is!
Thomas Ceccon breaks the world record to win gold! 51.60.
Ryan Murphy takes silver, Hunter Armstrong wins bronze.
«I have no words for this, I’m pretty happy for this, and I don’t know. No words,» Ceccon offers in his interview. «There is an Olympic champion from 2016 (Murphy), so no,» he says when asked if he expected the win.
Speaking in Italian in the mixed zone after, Ceccon said:
«I already did well yesterday afternoon. I didn’t say it out of luck, but I could easily swim 51.8. This morning I rested, I was very calm, I had to do the same race as yesterday, keeping the (same) last 15.
«For the world record it is something that only four or five athletes in Italy have managed to do, so it is not a simple thing, it is a nice step that I have taken.»
The women’s 100m backstroke final is up next.
In lane 8, Emma Terebo of France; in lane 1, Peng Xuwei of China; in lane 7, Wan Letian of China; in lane 2, Medi Harris of Great Britain; in lane 6, Kira Toussaint of Netherlands; in lane 3, Claire Curzan of USA; in lane 5, Kylie Masse of Canada; and in lane 4, Regan Smith of USA, the Championship record holder from three years ago.
The world record is 57.45, belonging to Kaylee McKeown. Masse is the two-time defending champion.
Masse is the fastest away after the buzzer, and the Canadian is just ahead heading into the turn but Smith turns in the lead!
The American Smith turns it on now but Masse and Curzan are right on her tail and Masse might be pushing ahead. Smith just out-touches Masse.
Gold for Smith, silver for Masse, bronze for Curzan – 58.22 the winning time.
«It was a great race, I have a full circle moment going from world junior champion to world champion in the 100 back for Team USA. I’m really happy I was able to get my hand to the wall but I really think I had a lot more in me in that race,» Smith says in her arena interview.
Speaking to Olympics.com later in the mixed zone, Smith said the world record was in her sights.
«It’s definitely a big focus for me. I always have it in the back of my mind and I was really pleased with my swim last night being super close it and really close to my best time, that’s really important to me because I haven’t gone a best time in three years now so I’m really itching to do that. So I’m a little bit bummed with my swim tonight. But tonight’s about place, it’s not about time so I’m really pleased with my time overall.»
We’ve had the 50m breaststroke semis this evening, another event in which we will get a first-time world champion after the withdrawal of Adam Peaty through injury.
The 100m world champ, Nicolo Martinenghi, is the top seed for the final. He’s joined by Michael Andrew, Nic Fink, Lucas Mazerath, Simone Cerasuolo, Yan Zibei, Bernhard Reitshammer, and Felipe Silva.
A short break in the action now as the legend Ian Thorpe presents the 200m free medals.
Here’s the new world champion David Popovici of Romania after his triumph in the 200m free.
The 17-year-old said to Olympics.com in the mixed zone: «My goal was to go as fast as I can. It was a tactical race, a well-thought-out race, and we just had confidence, our team we had confidence, a lot of it.
«The most fun is during the race because on the last lap I was saying to myself, ‘This is the biggest moment of my life thus far’, and I want to make it memorable for me and everyone else.»
He also says he will swim at the European Championships this summer – both junior and senior – as well as the World Junior Championships.
Meanwhile, bronze medallist Tom Dean, the Olympic champion, was left rueing his tactics.
«I took a gamble, went out quick and paid the price at the end. I felt every single metre of that final 25. The atmosphere, the occasion, that’s what carried me out. But you can’t go out on world record pace and not expect to die on the back end. It’s a learning experience, I thought I had them all behind me now but I’m 22 years old and I’m still learning.
«You got to give it to (Popovici), there’s nothing you can do about that. 1:43.2, I didn’t think I’d see that for years to come. The impossible seems impossible until it’s done and the youngsters are doing just that.»
Grimes is back neck-and-neck with Pallister at 1100m. That race for silver is definitely the one to watch as Ledecky has the world title in the bag again.
Ledecky is at 12:24.20 at 1200m. Six lengths to go. Meanwhile Grimes has half a body length on Pallister at that turn.
At 1500m Grimes is now a decent distance – around two body lengths – clear of Pallister. The swimmers take the bell for the last 1000m.
Ledecky, completely unchallenged, eases to victory in 15:30.15.
It’s an American one-two as Grimes takes silver. Pallister clinches bronze.
This is Ledecky’s 17th World Championships gold medal. Just one behind Ryan Lochte now and not far behind Michael Phelps.
Ledecky shares high-fives with her teammate in the lane over.
«It’s awesome, we did it last year (at Tokyo) and we’re going to make it a tradition,» Ledecky says of the Team USA one-two.
For comparison, Ledecky’s championship record, set in Kazan in 2015, is 15:25.48 – five seconds behind her world record.
At 700m, Ledecky is around half a second outside her world mark but a cool four body lengths clear of the field. The gap is over seven seconds.
The American is well clear of the field but at 900m the action is between Pallister and Grimes, with Pallister now in second.
Ledecky is splitting around 31.1 every length, which is an astounding pace.
Ledecky doesn’t get the fastest start off the blocks but eases into the lead about halfway down the first length of the pool.
She then proceeds to pull away from the rest of the field, with Grimes and Pallister the closest to her.
At 400m, Ledecky is about two-and-a-half body lengths ahead of Grimes and still under her own world record split.
The gap is around four seconds at 500m.
The longest pool race on the schedule is up next with the women’s 1500m freestyle final.
Katie Ledecky, the world record holder (15:20.48), is the clear favourite.
In lane 8, Kristel Kobrich of Chile, who’s in her 10th World Championships; in lane 1, Viviane Jungblut of Brazil; in lane 7, Beatriz Dizotti of Brazil; in lane 2, Moesha Johnson of Australia; in lane 6, Lani Pallister of Australia; in lane 3, Katie Grimes of USA; in lane 5, Simona Quadarella of Italy; and Ledecky completes the field in lane 4.
Tonight’s first swimming final is the men’s 200m freestyle final.
The world record is 1:42.00 by Paul Biedermann, dating back to the 2009 World Championships.
In lane 8 is Kieran Smith of USA; in lane 1, Lukas Martens of Germany; in lane 7, USA’s Drew Kibler; in lane 2, Elijah Winnington of Australia; in lane 6, Olympic champion Tom Dean of Great Britain; in lane 3, Hwang Sunwoo of Korea; in lane 5, Felix Auboeck of Austria; and in lane 4, Romania’s David Popovici, who broke the world junior record in the semi-finals last night. That record, 1:44.40, could fall again today.
Hwang has the fastest reaction time off the blocks. The Korean is the former world junior record holder. Dean turns in the lead at 50m, ahead of the world record split.
The Olympic champ remains ahead at the halfway point, still inside the record split. Popovici is now pushing ahead on the third length of four, and turns in the lead by more than a second.
They’re coming back for the final length and Popovici is a full body length ahead! He has smashed this race apart and wins in 1:43.21, another world junior record!
Popovici wins gold, Hwang wins silver, Dean takes bronze.
«Absolutely tired! It was great. The pool is very fast and I think what pushed me the most, going this fast, the fact I know people I love are watching and that people at home believe in me,» Popovici says in his post-race arena interview. «I’m going to focus on recovery because the job’s not done. I still have the 100.»
Greece can’t quite crack the top three with the final routine, which means Ukraine have won gold.
Japan take silver and Italy bronze.
That concludes today’s artistic swimming action. However, swimming finals begin in just 50 minutes.
Ukraine have vaulted into the lead of this free combination final.
A massive 95.0333 score is 1.1 points higher than their qualifying mark and a full three points ahead of Italy.
Japan and Greece left to swim.
Wow. Italy, who were third in qualification with a 90.9667, have obtained a huge jump in the final.
92.0333 puts them in first after five teams.
Ukraine and Japan out-scored them in the preliminary round.
A nice cheer for the hosts Hungary as the 10 finalist teams for the women’s team free combination final are introduced.
There were only 10 entries in the event, so all of them have made the final.
Ukraine were the top qualifiers on 93.9333 and are the team to beat.
After winning silver in this event three years ago in Gwangju, Italy are back on the top step of the podium.
Minisini and Ruggiero’s 89.2685 proves unbeatable on the day.
Japan’s Sato Yotaro / Sato Tomoka win silver, while China’s Shi Haoyu / Zhang Yiyao win bronze.
Time for the favourites in the mixed duet technical, and top qualifiers, Giorgio Minisini / Lucrezia Ruggiero of Italy.
It’s a fantastic routine that gets two thumbs up from both Italian coaches.
Minisini won this event the last time the Worlds were in Budapest in 2017, while it’s Ruggiero’s first worlds. It’s 89.2685, a jump of 0.7 points on their preliminary score.
That will take some beating.
The women’s solo free preliminary took place this morning and after 28 routines, it was Japan’s Inui Yukiko, the world champion in the solo technical, dominated proceedings today, scoring 94.5667 to top the qualifiers.
At 2pm, the mixed duet technical final will begin, before the women’s team free combination final at 4pm.
June 20 is World Refugee Day, which honours approximately 100 million displaced people around the world.
We spoke to Tokyo 2020 Olympic swimmer and IOC Refugee Team member Alaa Maso, who fled war-torn Syria in 2015 to start a new life in Germany and has not seen his parents since.
However, the 22-year-old triumphed in the face of significant adversity and continues to be a beacon of hope and positivity.
«My message is to always work with patience and to always wait for your moment because if you trust your progress, you will rise one day,» he told Olympics.com.
Check out the full interview below, where he also reveals why USA’s triple Olympic champion swimmer Anthony Ervin is his sporting hero.
Refugee swimmer Alaa Maso: «If you have a dream, just work for it»
She’s the reigning Olympic and world champion in the 1500m freestyle, and it would take a seismic upset to beat her in this evening’s final.
The question is, can the USA star beat her own world record of 15:25.48?
Here is a reminder of what is happening in the Duna Arena this evening:
Italy’s Gregorio Paltrinieri edged a neck-and-neck race with Bobby Finke to win the men’s 800m freestyle heats.
The Italian finished in 7:46.24, but the American Olympic champion looked like he was conserving energy before tomorrow’s final.
A fierce Heat 3 saw training partners Mykhailo Romanchuk and Florian Wellbrock battling the whole way for first place, with the Ukrainian 800 free Olympic bronze medallist taking it in 7:44.75.
Germany’s 10km open water swimming Olympic champion and 1500 freestyle bronze medallist Wellbrock finished second just +0.5 off the pace.
Italian Gabriele Detti, Ireland’s Daniel Wiffen, and Guilherme Costa of Brazil will also progress to the medal race.
In the word’s of the Australian commentators next to us, this is going to be ‘a juicy final’ tomorrow with so much depth on show.
That point is demonstrated perfectly by the fact that the fastest swimmer in the world this year Lukas Martens finished seventh and will not progresses.
Australia’s recently-crowned 400m free world champion Elijah Winnington did not start in order to conserve energy for his 200 free final tonight.
Did you know that water polo is Hungary’s national sport? They won bronze in the men’s and women’s tournaments at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in 2021.
The country has big stadiums dedicated to what some describe as the world’s most physically-demanding sport, meaning there will be some electric crowds here at the 2022 World Championships.
The hosts take on Colombia this evening in the women’s group matches, while Olympic champions USA take on South Africa.
All eyes are on Hungary’s favourite son at these world championships, and Kristof Milak didn’t disappoint in the men’s 200m butterfly heats.
The Olympic champion, reigning world champion, and world record holder will be seeded No. 1 for this evening’s semis after coming from behind in the final 50m to finish in 1:54.10. He looked like he had plenty more to give.
Tokyo 2020 silver medallist Honda Tomoru was out-touched by Switzerland’s Noe Ponti in their thrilling heat and will progress as the second and third fastest finishers overall.
They will be joined by France’s 400 medley world champion Leon Marchand, British Olympic gold medallist James Guy and USA’s Julian Trenton, who was ahead of Milak for most of that stacked final heat.
South African veteran Chad le Clos did not start the race.
China’s Yang Junxuan rocketed down the final straight to secure the top time in women’s 200m freestyle qualifying with 1:56.58.
FINA 2021 World Cup breakout star Madison Wilson of Australia finished second to Yang in the heat, and second overall, with Canada’s Rio 2016 Olympic gold medallist Penny Oleksiak barely getting out of second gear to go third.
USA’s Leah Smith, GB’s Freya Anderson, Oleksiak’s compatriot Taylor Ruck and 15-year-old American Claire Weinstein will also take teir place in this evening’s semi-finals, with the top-16 finishers all progressing.
Unfortunately, Hong Kong’s double freestyle Olympic silver medallist Siobhan Haughey pulled out of the heats this morning after failing to recover from an injury sustained at a pre-Worlds training camp.
