Americans Finish as Top Seed in Five Events at Hong Kong World Cup

The final stop of the FINA World Cup circuit opened up Saturday morning in Hong Kong, and the American swimmers, including Olympians and National Junior Teamers, all arrived ready to swim fast. Four different U.S. swimmers picked up the top seed in five different events during the session.

The USA’s Breeja Larson finished a tenth ahead of Jamaican co-world record-holder Alia Atkinson in the women’s 100 breast, 1:05.18 to 1:05.28. Russia’s Yulia Efimova was a close third in 1:05.43. Another American finished as top qualifier in the women’s 100 fly as Kelsi Worrell posted a 57.09. U.S. Junior team member Eva Merrill qualified second in 58.04, ahead of Denmark’s Jeanette Ottesen (58.28) and Hosszu (58.31).

The USA’s Michael Andrew topped all qualifiers in the men’s 50 breast, finishing in 27.03, just ahead of Brazil’s Felipe Lima (27.05). Russia’s Vladimir Morozov came in third at 27.23, and South Africa’s Roland Schoeman was fourth in 27.41.

Andrew picked up his second top seed of the morning when he clocked 53.93 in the men’s 100 IM, but he will have some tight competition in the final. Morozov (54.24), fellow American Josh Prenot (54.57), Belarus’ Pavel Sankovich (55.07), Australia’s Mitch Larkin (55.15) and Japan’s Daiya Seto (55.25) all figure to have something to say about the final result.
