Here are the swimmers who made the finals:
1 LOCHTE Ryan - 1:55.18
2 CSEH Laszlo - 1:55.18
3 BRODIE Leith - 1:56.75
4 GODDARD James - 1:57.12
4 GODDARD James - 1:57.12
5 SHANTEAU Eric - 1:57.16
6 PEREIRA Thiago - 1:57.35
7 TAKAKUWA Ken - 1:58.09
8 KIS Gergo - 1:58.11
The splits for Ryan and Cseh were:
Fly: 24.85/24.72
Back: 28.91/29.06
Breast: 33.52/33.62
Free: 27.90/27.78
I didn't get to watch it yet, but people said Ryan did not even look winded after the race. He's definitely holding back for tomorrow's final in every part of the race. When he swam his personal best of 1:54.56 at U.S. nationals his splits were:
24.78 (fly)
28.67 (back)
33.43 (breast)
27.68 (free)
Ryan predicted at the time he could go a second faster in Rome.
Ryan wore a full-body LZR for the semis and Cseh wore his full-body x-glide.
So glad Eric Shanteau qualified for the finals as well. He can definitely swim a lot faster and will be in strong contention for a medal.
Finals for the 200m IM tomorrow!! Also, Ryan has the 200m back prelims and semi-finals on Thursday. It's his busiest day of the meet.
