She'll probably have McIntosh to push her in Toronto. Ledecky could feasibly break the WR at all three distances because they're all weak (Titmus' PB when she set the 400 WR was "only" 3:59 mid).

 

I'm a little annoyed that Titmus is ignoring SCM this year despite WCs being in Melbourne because she could lower the 400 and 800 WRs as well and help the AUS 4x200 set a massive WR (they might still be able to do it but it won't be as impressive).

The 400 I don't know, it will depend on her form. But it could be a good fight with McIntosh, even if Summer is still raw in terms of turns (a big part of the difference Katie made in Budapest IMO).

 

Titmus is weird. She has barely raced this year and broke a WR. She stayed in Europe after CG and took a break from training, so that could be a reason. But she could show up in SC worlds with minimum training and still collect medals. I think is more about mental health and also she is also too "Olympic" oriented. I mean, she skipped Worlds this year to avoid the pressure of a clash with Ledecky thinking already in being fresh for Paris.

Oops, I corrected it. I edited the post to include the results and even then I didn't notice that the time wasn't right.

 

Here, you can watch the race.

 

 

He can still improve some of his walls so maybe he can lower it again at SC Worlds.

Li Bingjie just demolished Titmus' SC 400 free world record lowering it by 2.6 seconds to 3:51.30.

This was quite a weak WR but still 2.6 is a large chunk of time. 

Yeah, but that swim converts to a big sub 4m in LC (a 3.57 high), which is something she hasn't done yet. Li has alwasy been a bit inconsistent, so if she can pull this in LC next year the 400m race in Paris will be one for the ages.

    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
