SwimmingWorld Magazine kallar støðið í fyrstu kapping “a ridiculously deep field“, altso garvildt høgt, nú kempur sum Eamon Sullivan, Frederick Bousquet og Filippo Magnini ikki megnaðu at koma í finaluna í 100 frí, men vórðu koppaðir av Stefan Nystrand (45.93), Brent Hayden (46.30), Lyndon Ferns (46.32), Evgeny Lagunov (46.48), Matthew Abood (46.50), Sergey Fesikov (46.51), Danila Izotov (46.59) og Nicolas Oliveira (47.00). Michael Phelps varð nr 16 við tíðini 47.77. Pál Joensen skal svimja 400 frí umleið kl 11:00 føroyska tíð, heilsar Bjarnason úr Stockholm. Sí www.svimjing.com/live.
Tað kravdi eina tíð væl betri enn 27 sekund, hjá monnunum at koma í finaluna í 50 bringu :-S

Hardy kom ikki í finaluna í 100 bringu, hóast hon í Moskva setti heimsmet í 50 bringu. Kanska vegna kjøtbollarnar í gjár. Rikke Møller-Pedersen fekk triðbestu tíð.
Hardy sigur á Twitter, at hon hevði meira í sær:
“OOPS, took it too easy in prelims and got 9th in 100 breast! So pissed bc I felt great & was faster than prelims anywhere else w NO effort “
Michael Phelps kom bara akkurát við í 100 blandað, sum nr 7 av 8 svimjarum, við eini tíð sum var meira enn eitt hálvt sekund verri enn tíðin hjá skjótasta svimjaranum, Darian Townsend úr Suðurafrika. Í 100 frí gjørdist Phelps nr 16, og í 100 rygg varð hann kolldømdur. Les http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/swimming/news/story?id=4640524
“Michael has had so many meets where he was unbelievably good in everything he swam; it was like magic,” said his longtime coach Bob Bowman. “He needs to have a meet where everything goes wrong and deal with it.”
