Withdrawing from two events today and ending the tournament early Bella SimsSims, who will compete in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, had a tough tournament, failing to get past the first round in any event. She also said she didn't want to end the tournament early. Leah SmithSmith, a two-time Olympic medalist, was seeded fifth in the 800m freestyle but, like Sims, has struggled to find her form. Katie Grimes Grimes also decided to withdraw from the 800m freestyle, having qualified for Tokyo in that event, but instead opted to compete in tonight's 200m backstroke final, where she is seeded fourth.
