Eastin finished tied for 9th in the semis so didn't make the finals in the 200 IM
Taylor Ruck, swimming for Canada, had a good swim in the 400 free relay, and has qualified third for the finals in the 100 back.
Manuel had a great swim in the relay, so hopefully she will be competitive for a medal in the 100 free.
Ledecky finishing second in the 400 free to a young Australian is a major upset, but the times were slow. Race strategy may have played a role: the Australian broke out to a big lead, Ledecky had to expend a lot of energy to swim her down and take the lead, but the Australian had more left for the finish. Competition is good! Ledecky has the 200 free heats today, plus the final in the 1500 free which she should win easily.
