2025 World Championships

After an initial DQ call following the 2nd semifinal race in the men’s 100 breast, reigning Olympic Champion Nicolò Martinenghi will ultimately be racing in the finals of the 100 breast after an overturned ruling. 

The DQ was first ruled to have been on his finishing kick, where Martinenghi was called for a dolphin kick into the wall. 

The initial call would have bumped Martinenghi, who finished in the second fastest semifinal time in 58.62, out of tomorrow’s championship final. Following the initial decision, Danil Semianinov, swimming as a Neutral Athlete, would have earned the finals spot in 8th after finishing in 59.39. 

Following the reinstatement of Martinenghi in the final, Seminaninov will also swim in the Championship final, making this a nine-lane final. While it is an unusual circumstance, it has happened before.

At the 2023 European Short Course Championships, Miroslav Knedla was disqualified in the semifinals after finishing as the 5th fastest performer for the championship finals. After his reinstatement in the final, the field expanded to nine lanes. Knedla finished 8th overall the following day.
