Greenbank made it in 1.54, meaning he qualifies fastest!

Kaylene Corbett swims a lifetime best to pip Renshaw to the touch in this heat.

Abbie Wood down in 7th, swimming 2.24.13. Unsure she will qualify. :s-smilie:

Schoenmaker of South Africa is dominant in this final heat.

Fastest time in the world this year belongs to her.
Swimming very close to world record splits...

Laslo Cseh in his 5th Olympic games.

Arguably the best swimmer who's never won an olympic gold medal. :frown:

Mitch Larkin takes a very tight heat.
Cseh turns 2nd.

Looks like sub 1.58 will be enough to go through to the semi finals.

Here comes Joe Litchfield

Don't think Litchfield is going to qualify. Swam 2 minutes.
What a powerful heat with these swimmers.

Now for the women's 4x2 free relay.

Australia with the recent world record in 2019.
USA traditionally dominant in this event.
Bronze is anybody's game - China look in good form for this.

These heats will be interesting.
