This time, the 25-year-old Panevėžys won the 400m freestyle, although by his own mistake he almost lost the victory.
Surely the Lithuanian leader got confused and stopped swimming after hitting the wall at 350 meters. Still, after listening to the prompts from his teammates, he realized in time and continued swimming, being able to finish first.
D. Rapšys completed the distance in 3 minutes. 40.83 sec, but only 0.10 sec. faster than DC Trident’s American Zane Grothe, who ranks second. Before the strange incident, the Lithuanian overtook the rival by more than 5 seconds.
Despite everything, D. Rapšys scored 10 credit points for his team. After the first day of the 7th stage, it is the Energy Standard with 300 points that occupies the first place.
It should be noted that Russian television commentators who commented on the live broadcast made comments to D. Rapšius about the obvious use of uncensored Russian vocabulary.
“Lithuania should not be cursed, especially in Russian. It is just not appropriate for Lithuanian boys to do this,” they said, evaluating the reactions of D. Rapšis, who is a bit confused and angry, after the end.

Andrius Šidlauskas started the competition with a men’s 200m breaststroke, covering the distance in 2 minutes. 7.06 seconds ranked fifth and earned 4 credit points for his team. In the 200m swimming complex, A. Šidlauskas was eighth (1.59.34) and won no points.
