Meder was the only South African to advance from the morning heats, clocking 2 min 10.95 sec before slowing to 2:11.16 in the semifinals, which saw three disqualifications. Two of the three world records were set by Australians. Ariarne Titmus went 3:55.38 in the women’s 400m freestyle and then their women’s 4x100m freestyle relay team did it with a 3:27.96.
