Finishing sixth earlier in the day in preliminaries, Grothe finished in 3:45.83.

Competing in three events at the world championships, Grothe swam Tuesday, July 23, in the 800 freestyle prelims. He finished in 11th place with a time of 7:50.14, 4.44 seconds behind leader Gregorio Paltrinieri of Italy, who completed the race in 7:45.70.
