Sam Short 3:43.38 M 400FR at the Aussie Trials

[Josh 13,633]

Surprised no one has mentioned this by now, but Kaylee McKeown  clocked a 57.45 in the W 100BK on Day 2 of the Australian Trials, which is now the third-fastest performance in history (The top two are 57.45, 57.47, both marks by McKeown)

Mollie O'Callaghan with a 1:53.83 200m freestyle. #5 time performer all time. Titmus had 1:54.14.

 

Sam Short also with a 7:40.39 800m freestyle. #10 performer all time

[Josh 13,633]

McIntosh, Haughey, Titmus, and O'Callaghan are all in great form, and at least one of them will miss out on the podium at Fukuoka 2023. Could possibly take a sub-1:54 to secure a W 200FR top-three finish. Crazy.

Cameron McEvoy 21.27 50m freestyle in the heats

Pretty shocking swim. I was thinking a 21.5 would be a great comeback for him

Is there an entry list for Sette Colli anywhere?

I Accept opinions and comments!!!

I think experience prevails and McKeon wins the 100 FR and Titmus the 200 and 400. The rest about the same, the big if is Smith for me, not sure she will score her best when it matters. I trust Mckeown and McIntosh more tbh.

1) Why don’t you wait with your predictions until the end of the American trials?

2) Franceschi (and to a lesser degree Colbert) winning a medal in the 400 IM would be one of the biggest surprises in the history of swimming.
