Anastasiia Krapivina of Russia was initially in. Then, she was out. Now, she is in the Olympic finals.
When Krapivina was replaced by Anna Olasz of Hungary due to her drug suspension, the number of Olympic finalists remained at 25 swimmers.
But then FINA and the IOC recently reinstated Krapivina so there will be 26 finalists in the Olympic 10K Marathon Swim on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro today.
When watching the Olympic finalists, these will be the swimmers’ race numbers:
