Hungarian media is reporting that Kristof Milak isn't training again

 

If it's true then I guess Marchand is favourite in the 200 fly.

Lewis Clareburt :NZL produced a world leading 4:08.71 in the 400 IM at Sydney Open this evening. Not a particularly important meet especially for a Kiwi so you have to think he'll be faster in Paris.

Greek National Championships this weekend. After 18 yo Siskos broke the NR in Doha in the men's 200 backstroke with 1:56.64, now Christou takes the record back with 1:56.34! Good to have such competition in that event and hopefully one of them will break the record again in Belgrade and Paris.

Iona Anderson :AUS had another big breakthrough in the 100 back yesterday going 58.53 in a time trial at a local meet in Perth. That's only 0.01s off McKeown's 18 years old age record.

Great time by Anderson!

Depth in W 100m Back is looking great for Australia 

It isnt just the Kaylee show and 2nd spot at the trials will be exciting 

MOC - 58.0 Will she swim it?

Seebohm - 58.2 Shes back?

Anderson -58.5

Barclay -59.2 Still a junior swimmer

Fredericks -59.6

 

And will Minna Atherton be back?

MOC's gonna go 57 at trials if she can swim straight.

Seebohm doesn't have enough time left to get into that kind of form but she plans to swim on after Paris and she's progressing consistently in the right direction so maybe next year?

Anderson might even go faster!

Ditto Barclay and Fredericks.

Be surprised if Atherton is any quicker than 59 high. She might even be done tbh.

I agree about MOC.

She swum that 58.0 in pouring rain hitting the ropes all the way.

 

The W100m back seems to be dominated by AUS,USA and a Canadian over the past 2-3 years

its possible that 58 low wont even make an Australian or US Olympic team

    • Congrats Diggins, well deserved! 👏   Too bad she fell on the last lap in the last race (as well as Karlsson also did x2).   For the future I would really like them to remove the bonus sprint points suring the race that almost makes more importance to the overall standings than the positions over the finish line. And get back to the same point system as the other FIS events. 30 gets points instead on 50, and 100-80-60... instead of this system. in this case Diggins deserves it and Sweden who of different reasons have missed pets of the season On purpose or not, does not deserve it. But it as it is now it may take 20 wins to catch up for one missed race (if the opponent is 2nd in each). Dahlqvist won the sprint cup without any individual wins (3rd overall) is one example of that.    There must be room to miss a race of any reason. If not, it Will not make people race more events, instead it might make skoters who already missed one weekend feel they are already too far behind so they light as well take less priority on the rest of the World cup season. Also skiiers who in Norway for example would be good enough for a top3 in the overall might not even be selected for many races due to the internal competition. Same for a skiier like Ebba Andersson who most likely would not qualify if she would be selected to go a sprint race. But she would still get a few points probably for rk 31-50, but because she would not make it in to the Swedish sprint team she Will lose a lot even compared to those who fail the sprint qualifications. Frida Karlsson another example, she would also probably have qualified most of the times but is most often not good enough to make the team. With more award to winning and making podiums and also less athletes scoring that would make it better I think. The scoring system in biathlon got some critics when they decided you have to count all races, but they at least increased the value of top positions meaning you could faster catch up a bad race/missed race, by a few podiums.
    • Great to see O’Connor on the podium again! Thats 4 major medals in the past 12 months (World Indoors x 2, Euro Indoors and World Championships).   Her strongest event is the javelin so she is going to continue to be a huge threat in the heptathlon this summer and she is still improving all the other events. Exciting times for her  
    • Congrats to Diggins winning the WC in her final season 
    • Call me mad, but it feels very strange to have made it all the way through a major championships without hearing how the results were going to lead to a slashing of funding for  sport.  
    • Only Fabbri from Italy has disappointed and that's a bit concerning... In 3 of the last 4 major events (OG and 2x Indoor World Champ), he's performed significantly worse than he did on the entire season – he took bronze at the 2025 World Championships, but his result was also nothing special. His performance today is completely incomprehensible  (
