Then say that you want to have a life outside of swimming instead of coming up with bullshit excuses like this

Canada's swim team was announced for the 2017 World Championships

 

Arguably the best ever women's team . Multiple medals are expected. However the men's team is literally the weakest ever. Only 5 individual swims have qualified. The two strongest men are not competing Cochrane (retired) and Condorelli (unsure, but rumours are he is switching to compete for Italy).

really? here in Italy not a single word has ever been written about this chance...

We all know (it was even confirmed by one or two officials from our NF) that a few years ago Italy tried to get Aussie Tommaso D'Orsogna and US Nick Brunelli, but both said "no, thanks", but nobody here did even mention the possibility of asking Condorelli to swim for Italy (by the way, it would be a great addition to our team)...

Really great times for this period.

Good work compling that list, my friend, but i have a few questions:

Mens 200 IM: When did Morgan and Irvine swim those times? According to my list it should be 1) Hagino 1:56.01 2) Shun 1:56.16 3) Seto 1:56.90

Womens 400 IM: ... 3) Teramura 4:35.20

Womens 100 fly: ... 3) Chimrova 57.17

Mens 200 breast: ... 2) Koseki 2:0718 3) Persson 2:07.85

Womens 200 breast: ... 2) Asaba 2:23.53 3) McKeown 2:53.58

Womens 100 breast: ... 1) Aoki 1:05.29 2) Efimova 1:05.90 3) Makino 1:06.05

Mens 50 free: ... 3) Sedov/Proud 21.74

Womens 800 free: ... 2) Li 8:20.89 3) Titmus 8:23.08

 

By the way: Cate Campbell wont compete in Budapest.

 

Very interesting to see how strong Japan, China, Russia and the canadian women are right now (Italy is also doing quite well and they have a relatively young team with Detti, Paltrinieri, Martinenghi, Miressi, Quadarella, Carini). We have already seen tons of new junior world records by Martinenghi, Kolesnikov, Zhuhao, Tan, Ikee and Hasegawa.

 

I see up to 8 medals for Canada, up to 10 medals for Japan, at least 8 medals for China and at least 6 medals for Russia.

 

The british, american, french and german nationals are still to come, so when can expect to see a lot more very fast times leading up to Budapest.

About the mens 200 IM results:

Here are the live results from the australian swimming championships:

http://liveresults.swimming.org.au/SAL/2017OPEN/

Mens 200 IM prelims took place in session 5, the fastest time was 2:02.04 by Travis Mahoney.

Mens 200 IM finals took place in session 6, the fastest time was 1:59.24 by Clyde Lewis.

I think Morgan and Irvine didnt even compete + the australian record is 1:56.69 by Leith Brodie from 2009 ...

I used to look up the world rankings at the FINA website too, but in my opinion they are very slow to update their rankings and make a lot of mistakes. A while back i for example saw 4 or 5 japanese girls (i never heard of) being at the top of the world ranking in the 400 IM, with times that were faster than the current world record ... i think they mix up short course and long course times quite often.

 

Nowadays i take the world rankings from "Swimswam":
