Day two of prelims at the FINA World Cup stop in Tokyo featured several top-seeded efforts from Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu. Hosszu has won more than 200 career World Cup races and is in position to win the overall World Cup title for women for the fifth straight year.
To start off the morning, Hosszu edged out in front of the field in the women’s 100 free. Hosszu checked in at 53.40, just ahead of Canada’s Michelle Williams, who came in at 53.52. Denmark’s Jeanette Ottesen (53.60), the USA’s Kelsi Worrell (53.65) and Japan’s Rikako Ikee (53.72) all secured prime lanes for the final.
Hosszu later topped the field in the 200 fly in 2:05.96, finishing almost two seconds ahead of No. 2 qualifier Miyu Nakano (2:07.62). Hosszu also recorded the top time in the women’s 400 free with a 4:03.34. China’s Dong Jie finished second in 4:04.68, and 10k Olympic gold medalist Sharon van Rouwendaal was well back in third in 4:06.25. Hosszu then picked up a top seed in a fourth event, the women’s 100 IM. She posted a 59.17, with only Japan’s Miho Teramura joining her under 1:00 (59.62).
Young Australian Clyde Lewis finished well ahead of the field in the men’s 200 free with a 1:44.37. Great Britain’s James Guy, last year’s World Champion in the event, was second in 1:45.41, and Japan’s Daiya Seto got third in 1:45.64.
