Swimming at the Aquatics WA World Championships 2023

Great to see Gonzalez in a final. Very versatile swimmer (100/200 back, 200/400 IM, 200 fly), but maybe he would be better off focusing on less events.

Also impressive by Dean to come back like a freight train.

What a swim by  Gonzalez!

Really hoping Pudar  wins a medal tomorrow night. IMO McIntosh and  Smith are the favorites for gold now, and for Pudar anything other than a bronze seems to be out of reach but you never know. She did go a 2:06 a couple of weeks ago.

Tokyo 2020 Olympic Champion  Shun 4th in his 200IM semifinal. Will have to wait and see if he'll make the final.

France's men look like they could be winning quite a few swimming medals come their home Olympics. Manaudou, Grousset and Marchand all challenging right now.

Time for 3x100m of waiting until we start to see how the race is actually unfolding!
