Nice relaxed swim by  Dekkers. Clocks a 2:07.11, and should be in one of the inside lanes come finals.

Very slow semifinal in women's 200 fly, but good to see Crevar again, she used to be a good talent in the 400 IM.

1:52.43 for  Marchand!

Officially third fastest person in 200 fly behind Milák and Phelps. That sends a message to Milák, 200 fly might not be a cakewalk anymore if Kristóf can't return to top form.

Very tough doubles for Marchand and McIntosh in this session. So far it is paying off for Marchand, not sure about McIntosh.

[OlympicsFan 791]

Marchand might actually try to win 4 golds here, not sure if he will be able to handle the same load next year. He seems safe in the 400 IM, but it looks a lot closer in his other 3 events, he might want "focus" at his home olympics.

Bad last turn by McIntosh, still safely into the final. Also nice to see Pudar rebounding after her subpar performance in the 100 fly.

I really want to see  Pudar get a medal tomorrow

[OlympicsFan 791]

Kapas way off, maybe she should try open water.

Pudar with the top seed. It would be huge for Bosnia and Herzegovina if she could medal

[OlympicsFan 791]

Bosnia and Denmark both with their first individual final in an olympic disipline in women's 200 fly (31st and 32nd country to do so).
