I'm sure at this point, people are sick of me talking about Summer McIntosh. However, she did break her 3rd record of the meet tonight. This time, she rebroke her 400 IM World Record for the 3rd straight Canadian Trials finishing in a time of 4:23.65.

 

Yesterday, she came close to breaking the crazy super-suited 200m butterfly World Record finishing with the 2nd fastest time in history in a time of 2:02.26.

Some fireworks from Japan this weekend.

 

2009 born Shin Ohashi put up times of 59.03 and 2:07.27 in the 100m and 200m breaststroke events. The 200m breaststroke time is a World Junior Record.

 

His 100m breaststroke time ranks 4th in the world this year and the 200m breaststroke time ranks 2nd in the world this year. However, he won't be going to World Championships because two swimmers were faster than him in both events at Japanese Trials back in March.

Italian record for Ludovico Viberti in the morning at Sette Colli! 26.27 in the 50 breaststroke, first in the world this season.

Unfortunately, the two places in the 50 breaststroke have both already been awarded at the Italian championships in March and Viberti, barring a twist of fate, will not participate in the world championships in the 50

And who will start? Nicolo and Cerasuolo? In my opinion, they should include him in this 2 and let them eliminate each other in the heats. It's the post-Olympic season, so it doesn't matter. If Viberti starts in the 100 meters anyway, that's the best way. Especially since Cerasuolo, in my opinion, can't afford a result like Viberti's today.

Yes, they both made the time limit in March so they have priority

New PB for David Popovici in 100m free at U23 Euros - 46.71. He now holds the best times of the season in both 100 and 200 free and looks to be vying for his second 100-200 free double Worlds Gold in Singapore.

I really hope that Penny Oleksiak didn't use PS as she's under investigation and won't compete at WCh.

 Pieter Coetze with a 51.99 100m backstroke swim at WUGs today! #1 time in the world. Will be interesting to see if he can maintain this form in a week at World Championships

Two World Junior Records from Japan this weekend.

 

Shin Ohashi went 2:06.91 in the 200m breaststroke . #1 time in the world this year. Still just 16 years old. Would've been a medal contender if he qualified for the Japanese World Championship team.

 

 

Yumeki Kojima broke the WJR in the 400 IM going 4:09.38.
