After a fantastic week of racing in Budapest, we’ve reached the final session of the 2024 Short Course World Championships. But, with many of the swimmers who helped make this meet so electric in the pool again tonight–like Gretchen Walsh, Summer McIntosh, Kate Douglass, and Jordan Crooks to name a few–it seems like this meet will go out not with a whimper, but with a bang.
Day 6 Finals Heat Sheet
Women’s 50 freestyle — final Men’s 50 freestyle — final Women’s 50 breaststroke — final Men’s 50 breaststroke — final Women’s 200 backstroke — final Men’s 200 backstroke — final Women’s 200 freestyle — final Men’s 200 freestyle — final Women’s 4×100 medley relay — final Men’s 4×100 medley relay — finalTwo world records went down during the 50 freestyle semifinals. Walsh continued her record-breaking spree by taking down Ranomi Kromowidjojo‘s mark, while Crooks became the first man to break 20 seconds in the short-course meter pool, swimming a 19.90 to reset his 20.08 world standard from prelims. What do they have in store for us during the final?
Other world record breakers from this week in the pool for their final individual events include McIntosh and Regan Smith, who will go head-to-head in the women’s 200 backstroke final. McIntosh chose to take on this test rather than the 200 IM and she’s been on fire this week, setting three world records en route to three golds. In the 200 backstroke, she runs into the current world record holder, Smith, who set her 1:58.83 mark earlier this fall and is looking to complete her sweep of the backstrokes in Budapest.
After breaking Paul Biedermann‘s super-suited mark leading off the men’s 200 freestyle relay, Luke Hobson now eyes gold in the individual 200 freestyle. He’s the top qualifier heading into finals, swimming a 1:41.55 in the heats to move through three-hundredths ahead of Belgium’s Lucas Henveaux. Henveaux set a national record in the heats, as did the third-place qualifier, Finland’s Tomas Koski (1:41.92).
Olympic champion Hubert Kos asserted himself in the men’s 200 backstroke heats, swimming a 1:48.02. He was the only man to break 1:50 in prelims and he’s looking to end his meet on a high note and earn a gold medal in front of a home crowd after getting out-touched in two tight finals in the 50 and 100 backstroke.
The meet ends with the women’s and men’s 4×100 medley relays. The U.S. women have loaded up with Smith, Lilly King, Walsh, and Douglass as their lineup. On the men’s side, Poland is the top qualifier through the heats. The Neutral Athletes ‘B’ have added 50 and 100 backstroke champion Miron Lifintsev to their squad, and the U.S. swapped three legs and is going with Shaine Casas, Michael Andrew, Dare Rose, and Jack Alexy. The full relay lineups are listed below, or you can check our articles breaking down the women’s and men’s lineups.
