Swimming Canada – BUDAPEST – The men’s and women’s 4×100-metre relays progressed to finals, and Sydney Pickrem, Penny Oleksiak, Erika Seltenreich-Hodgson, and Richard Funk qualified for semifinals at the FINA World Championships in Budapest.

The women’s relay qualified fifth after Sandrine Mainville, Michelle Toro, Rebecca Smith, and Kayla Sanchez swam the relay in 3 minutes 35.84 seconds.

“We’re definitely looking for a medal tonight. I think we can be in the mix for a silver or gold, nobody knows. It’s going to be exciting,” said Mainville.

The men squeaked into the finals in eighth place with a 3:14.88 from Yuri Kisil, Markus Thormeyer, Javier Acevedo, and Carson Olafson.

“We made the final and that’s what matters. We have a lane to race with tonight,” said Kisil. “There’s nowhere to go but up. We all have room to improve and if we do that we have a good shot at moving up.”

Pickrem is going into tonight’s semifinal ranked second in the 200-m individual medley. Her time of 2:10.14 was behind only Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu.

“It was one of my better morning swims I’ve ever had. It’s not what I want to do in the end, but I was just looking to get a good spot in semis. Going in in a middle lane will be nice,” said the 20-year-old.

Hosszu, the hometown favourite and world record holder, received the loudest cheers of the morning from the boisterous crowd in Budapest.

“You’ve got to use it. It was incredible hearing the amount of excitement in there. You need to take it like they’re cheering for you.” said Pickrem.
