Swimming at the Aquatics FINA World Championships 2019

Manuel is a killer! I have no clue how she does it again and again, she has to be the most clutch female swimmer.

I like 400m IM. You don't see many finals for Spain, New Zealand, Netherlands, Azerbaijan...

I was talking about Surinamese swimmer who was really the first black swimming champion...

Is Pilato the youngest ever medalist at the World Aquatics Championships?

It would be cool to have the youngest (Pilato) and the oldest (Nicholas Santos) in the same year.

Dutch swimmer is already gassed.

Which makes sense, considering unlike the likes of Seto he had to give absolutely 100% in the heats  (resulting in the race of his life, WCH final, qualified for the Olympics, destroyed a 22 year old NR and all that in an event he didn't even qualify for at first, but they let him swim it because he was making good progress and he was there anyway)
