AustraliaвЂ™s Mitch Larkin and ChinaвЂ™s Xu Jiayu, the reigning World Champion, also have a shot at unseating Murphy. Russian Olympic CommitteeвЂ™s Evgeny Rylov and Kliment Kolesnikov, the World Junior Record-holder, came into the Games ranked #1 and 2 in the world. Americans Ryan Murphyand Lilly King face strong challenges. The other two finals of the morning, the menвЂ™s 100 back and the womenвЂ™s 100 breast, will feature the 2016 Olympic gold medalists trying to defend their respective titles. Smith earned the right to lane 4 with the fastest time in semis, with McKeown in lane 3 and Masse in lane 5. CanadaвЂ™s Kylie Masse, AustraliaвЂ™s Kaylee McKeown, the current World Record-holder, and USAвЂ™s Regan Smith have all broken the Olympic Record at least once in their two swims (prelims and semifinals) to date.
