In the final, Dahlia faced off against a phenomenal field that included world-record holder Sarah Sjostrom and Australian star Emma McKeon, who won seven medals at the Tokyo Olympics.

Against that outstanding field, Dahlia was dominant. She was out in 25.85, a tenth under Sjostrom’s world-record pace (25.96). McKeon was just a tenth behind at that point, but Dahlia exploded off the walls and pulled away on the second 50.

In a tight showdown between the Cali Condors and Energy Standard in the men’s 400 medley relay to conclude the first day of the ISL final, the Condors emerged in front. The team of Coleman Stewart (49.62), Nic Fink (55.21), Caeleb Dressel (49.01) and Justin Ress (45.80) combined to swim a time of 3:19.64, about a second ahead of the Energy team. Kliment Kolesnikov (49.90), Ilya Shymanovich (55.38), Chad le Clos (48.92) and Adam Barrett (46.41) combined to finish at 3:20.61.

Previously, the group of Ryan Murphy, Andrew Wilson, Dressel and Ryan Held swam a time of 3:19.98 at the 2018 Short Course World Championships. Russia owns the world record at 3:19.16 from 2019...
