LIVE. 2025 World Swimming Championships: Grousset impresses, medal target for the relay, results
The end of this first day of the 2025 World Swimming Championships is approaching. It's time for the 4x100m relay finals. The women's team will compete in the women's final, with a French relay team that surprised everyone in the semifinals.
Having been disqualified from his 100m breaststroke semi-final, the Italian Olympic champion appealed the decision and finally regained his place in the final.
This is likely just the beginning of a long series of ceremonial events for Summer McIntosh at the 2025 World Swimming Championships. The Canadian is collecting her gold medal in the 400m freestyle.
American Alex Walsh also made her way through the second semi-final, beating Japan's Mio Narita and Israel's Anastasia Gorbenko. Zidi Yu took fifth place and advanced to the final at the age of 12.
At 12 years old, Zidi Yu will attempt to reach the final of this 200m medley. This could obviously be a precocity record.
What a tremendous display of dominance from the Canadian swimmer, who crushed the competition in this first semi-final of the 200m individual medley of the 2025 World Swimming Championships. She finished three seconds ahead of her compatriot Harvey and Walshe.
The Canadian is well ahead in this semi-final and is not at all worried at the halfway point.
A few minutes after her first world title, Canadian prodigy Summer Mcintosh will compete in the first semi-final of the 200m medley.
The Chinese rider finished in September in 58.24 seconds after a very impressive final 25 meters. He finished ahead of the Italian Martinenghi, who was ultimately disqualified after analyzing the images. His compatriot Viberti took his place ahead of Prigoda and Dong.
The German won a particularly close semi-final with four swimmers within 0.25 seconds of each other. Matheny, Corbdeau and Petrashov also advanced directly to the 100m breaststroke final at the 2025 World Swimming Championships.
After this ceremony, the sport resumes with the semi-finals of the 100m breaststroke.
The men's 400m freestyle podium is now on the horizon. Woomin, Short, and Maertens will collect their medals at the 2025 World Swimming Championships.
A world champion title she doesn't have time to savor. Summer McIntosh leaves the pool and heads straight to the locker room because she'll be competing in the 200m medley semi-final in fifteen minutes.
The Canadian won her first world title at the 2025 World Swimming Championships by winning the 400m freestyle final. Li surprised everyone by finishing second, ahead of Ledecky, who completed the podium.
After 200m of racing, Summer Mcintosh is in the lead, but Lani Pallister and Katie Ledecky are also in the running and have not said their last word.
To see the four-time Olympic champion in the pool, we'll have to wait a few days because Léon Marchand has decided to skip two of the four individual races. The 200m butterfly and 200m breaststroke, which were originally scheduled for Singapore, will be out. "It's a choice we made because we're in a post-Olympic year and he's never had the opportunity to present a 200m medley without having a race before or after the same day. He wanted to test this isolated 200m medley and see what he was capable of," explained his coach. His program will therefore be as follows: 200m medley, the 4x200m freestyle relay (subject to participation), the 400m medley, and the 4x100m medley (subject to participation).
The World Swimming Championships are taking place in Asia, near Singapore. There will therefore be a significant time difference with France. To watch the morning heats, you'll need to get up very early, around 4 a.m. However, for the finals, you can watch the events between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. approximately in France (-6 hours in Singapore).
