After advancing to three swimming semifinals earlier today, Israeli swimmers fail to qualify for any of the day’s finals.

Ron Polonsky finishes 12th overall in the men’s 200m individual medley semifinal, Anastasia Gorbenko finishes last (16th) in the women’s 200m backstroke semifinal and Meiron Cheruti finishes 13th overall in the men’s 50m freestyle semifinal.

Gorbenko will compete tomorrow in the women’s 200m individual medley and both she and Polonsky will compete together in the mixed 4×100m medley relay, also tomorrow.
