The fourth finals session in Lithuania also features semifinals of the girls 100 freestyle and girls 200 fly.
Romania’s Robert-Andrei Badea is aiming for an IM sweep in the 400 IM today after lowering his own national record in yesterday’s 200 IM (2:00.05). The 16-year-old should be challenged by Turkey’s Onur Ege Oksuz, who was just a couple tenths behind Badea (4:21.48) in prelims at 4:21.65.
