Men’s 4×50m Medley Relay Lineups
Day five of the 2022 Short Course World Championships features prelims of the 4×50 medley relays, 400 IM, 100 butterfly, and 50 breaststroke.
In the first women’s 4×50 medley relay heat, a showdown is brewing between the American quartet of Alex Walsh, Annie Lazor, Erika Brown and Natalie Hinds and the Australian team of Kaylee McKeown, Jenna Strauch, Emma McKeon, and Madison Wilson.
World record holder Daiya Seto is looking to make it six straight short-course world titles in the 400 IM with a win tonight.
Top-seeded Lithuanian Ruta Meilutyte will be aiming to bounce back in the 50 breast today after getting disqualified from Thursday’s 100 breast final for a double dolphin kick off her start.
Stay tuned for live updates below:

Star-studded Australia (1:44.78), defending champ Sweden (1:44.83), and dark horse France (1:44.86) led the way during the two morning heats as the only three teams under 1:45.
Australia’s Kaylee McKeown had the fastest leadoff on the backstroke leg with a split of 26.42, just ahead of Sweden’s Hanna Rosvall. Japan’s Reona Aoki (29.38) had the quickest breaststroke split, Sweden’s Sara Junevik (Sarah Sjostrom‘s replacement) had the fastest butterfly split at 24.42, and Australia’s Madison Wilson blazed the quickest anchor leg with a split of 23.36.
The U.S. women suffered a bit of a scare when Alex Walsh slipped on her backstroke start and put them in an early hole, but they rallied just enough to sneak into tonight’s final as the No. 7 seed. Walsh split 27.18 on the opener, Annie Lazor clocked a 30.14 on the breaststroke leg, Erika Brown posted a 25.17 butterfly, and Natalie Hinds brought them home with a 24.09 freestyle anchor.

Tonight’s final should be a thriller as five teams were separated by just a few tenths of a second during the men’s 4×50 medley relay heats.
Thomas Ceccon was the difference-maker for top-seeded Italy, posting the only sub-22 fly split in the field (21.80) to help his nation hold off France and Italy. France’s Florent Manaudou (20.73) edged Italy’s Alessandro Miressi (20.84) on the freestyle anchor, but Ceccon’s big split on the previous leg gave Italy enough of a cushion to pull out the victory in prelims.
The American quartet of Hunter Armstrong (23.34), Nic Fink (25.60), Trenton Julian (22.39), Kieran Smith (21.34) qualified fifth in a combined time of 1:32.67, just two one-hundredths of a second behind fourth-seeded Japan (1:32.65).
Australia’s Isaac Cooper threw down the fastest backstroke leadoff in the field with a 22.95, the only sub-23 split in the field. Cooper’s swim is just off his world junior record from earlier this week.

Leah Smith shaved nearly two seconds off her lifetime best from the 2018 FINA World Cup (4:32.84) to secure the top seed in the women’s 400 IM prelims. The 27-year-old American clocked a 4:30.93, less than a tenth of a second ahead of Italy’s Sara Franceschi (4:31.01).
Both Franceschi and No. 3 seed Waka Kobori of Japan were less than a second off their personal bests this morning. No. 4 seed Zsuzsanna Jakabos of Hungary and 28-year-old American Hali Flickinger could be saving some extra energy in the tank for tonight as their personal bests are both in the 4:25-range. Tonight’s final could be a tight five-way battle.
