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.
