Zalan Sarkany, You Just Earned Local Legend Status

In a display of speed endurance, Hungary's Zalan Sarkany had the Duna Arena crowd on its feet for the final laps as he distanced himself from Ahmed Jaouadi of Tunisia. He had another foe, though, the time posted by Germany's Florian Wellbrock, a former World champion in this event who raced this morning in an earlier heat.

Ultimately, the 21-year-old held off his virtual challenger to take the gold.  It's Hungary's first gold of these Championships. The crowd let him feel its appreciation.

1. Zalan Sarkany (HUN) - 7:30.56

2. Florian Wellbrock (GER) - 7:31.90

Men's 400m IM | Borodin Takes It as Seto's Historic Streak Ends Here

USA's Carson Foster pushed Ilia Borodin the whole way, but the Neutral Athlete controlled the race to win gold in the Men's 400m IM while Italy's Alberto Razzetti claimed bronze. 

In a potential passing of the guard, Japan's Daiya Seto missed making the finals. The short-course swimming legend came into Budapest as the six-time defending champion in this event. Seto has a career tally of nine World golds and is a 17-time medallist in the 25m pool.

McIntosh Magic | Summer Smashes the Women's 400m IM

The 18-year-old is in an absolute league of her own.

Summer McIntosh put in perhaps her most impressive performance at the Championships, smashing the World Record in the Women's 400m IM that had been held by Mireia Belmonte of Spain since the summer of 2017.

Coming off the backstroke at 200m, her lead over the World Record was a ludicrous 5.49 seconds. By going 4:15.48, she finished nearly 3.5 seconds below the old all-time global standard. 

1. Summer McIntosh (CAN) - 4:15.48 - World Record

2. Katie Grimes (USA) - 4:20.14

3. Abbie Wood (GBR) - 4:24.31

Crooks Goes 19.90! 

Jordan Crooks came into the semifinals having set the World Record in the Heats. The sprinter from the Cayman Islands was even more electric in the evening, setting another World Record and becoming the first person ever to go sub-20s over 50m in the pool. Crooks looks primed to defend his World title from Melbourne 2022.

USA's Jack Alexy set the fastest time in the first semifinal, but comes into the finals with a time nearly 6/10ths of a second behind the reigning champion. Alexy, the 100m freestyle champion from earlier in the week, has a tall order to claim gold in this event tomorrow night. 

1. Jordan Crooks (CAY) - 19.90 - World Record

2. Jack Alexy (USA) - 20.51

3.Guilherme Santos (BRA) - 20.59

Ponti Does It Again! Swiss Star Sets the Men's 100m Butterfly World Record

Noe just did it, but he can hardly believe it. Breaking your hero's World Record is special stuff. 

The 23-year-old Ticino native was .28 seconds under World Record pace at the 50m mark and brought it home to the tune of 47.71 to set another World Record at these Championships. In the process, USA's Caeleb Dressel moves down to No.2 on the all-time lists. 

That's two races in the evening finals. And it's already two World Records. Add in Caymanian Jordan Crooks breaking the Men's 50m Freestyle World Record this morning, and that's already three World Records on the penultimate day of racing here in Budapest. 

And the Butterfly King wears his 100m "Double Crown" 

Make it 20 (!) World Records at these Championships

Gretchen Walsh strikes again in the Women's 100m Butterfly, lowering the World Record in each of her three swims in the Women's 100m Butterfly. The record now rests at a scintillating  52.71.

Just in the Women's 50m and 100m Butterfly events, Walsh set five World Records and came away with two global titles. Her total Championships tally is even more impressive. 

Saturday night has started off strong in Duna Arena.

• 32 Championship Records
• 7 World Junior Records
• 42 Area Records (Continental)

Did You Watch About Last Night? 

With six World Records set during Day 4 of the World Aquatics Swimming World Championships (25m), there's plenty of fodder for swimming personalities and champions like Liz Beizel and Ranomi Kromowidjojo and co-host John Mason to talk about. Oh, Summer McIntosh, Gretchen Walsh and Regan Smith broke world records again last night. And then there's the Luke Hobson burner on the opening leg of the Men's 4x200m Freestyle Relay final. Time to listen in as the experts discuss.
