Aussies had a bit of a dodgy second exchange.

Bahamas are one leg short of a very fast team.

Despite last night's 100m performance in the US being wind assisted I think Rhasidat Adeleke of is now a serious threat for a medal at either 200m or 400m
Hope she continues to focus on the 400 for now. She's definitely got a run deep in the 48 zone in her.

Pan has the most potential to join Popovici deep in the 1:43 zone but he doesn't seem to know how to maximise his potential in this event. He needs to be far more aggressive.

The 200m Free is stacked with so many contenders at 1.44 it’s nearly impossible to pick.
ignoring Popovici, 1.43 low will probably win it.
its crazy that Thorpe was doing 1.44.0, 20 years ago
Who's going 1:43 low besides Popovici?

If memory served Britain moved their champs to the US model one year, then did appallingly at the subsequent WCs. So they promptly moved it back to their usual window the following year.
Which year was that?

1:44.14 for Lukas Märtens in the 200m freestyle, #7 performer of all time.
I was just typing up a post about this. What a swim! I still think Popovici will get back near his 2022 best but Märtens has to be considered the favourite because he's already put up a gold medal worthy time.
He also went 1:44.89 in the heats so making 1:44s routine now.

Alright, that's a bit close, yeah
I do wonder why these countries with trials somehow want the trials to be that close to the Olympics. Why not just hold them in March or April, so there's plenty of time for recovery and then rebuilding to peak shape again?
That's how Australia used to do it and they've been much more successful since they changed. It's hard to say if the change helped or if Australia's just going through a bit of a purple patch.
Canada is moving their trials to June starting next year probably because Australia (who copied the US) has done so well.

When are the Australian trials? Olympics are wtill three months away, and as we see in plenty of other sports, it definitely shouldn't be impossible to have two peaks separated by 2-3 months
June 10-15 and US trials follow immediately after.

The US didn't have too much strength last summer in Budapest.
Adding in the GBR heat swim (adjusting it slightly slower for a legal takeover), the US were only capable of producing the 4th fastest time of the meet, behind Aus, Italy and GBR.
Obviously with their general strength, having them as favourites is perfectly reasonable and even more so if Dressel is close to form. But if someone had one of those others as favourite, I don't think it would be an unreasonable shout. And that's not even considering the Chinese.
I know some people here get shitty when you talk about China having strong prospects to medal but they could feasibly have a 46 lead off, a 46 anchor plus a couple of 47 mid splits. That's some serious firepower.

Not having Daniel Wiffen medalling in either the 800 or the 1500 is a bold prediction in my view given what he did the WR in the 800 (short course).
Britain will be aiming for 9-10 medals so a return of 4 would be very disappointing. Mens medley and mixed medley fortunes are drastically improved by the progression of Ollie Morgan and Peaty. The 4x100 free team could challenge the US for gold given the level seen at trials.
Think people were overrating the strength of Hackett's world record because of how long it lasted but he wasn't tapered when he set it and the 800 wasn't included in Worlds until recently.

Which events would the US likely win that I haven't listed?
Maybe Dressel could back to form but that's a huge IF,based on his situation over the past 3 years
Regan Smith maybe,but Kaylee doesn't show any signs of losing to anyone.
Summer will take "normal" US Golds as will Marchand.
Could be tough for the US
Oh I'm not criticising your predictions but such an outcome would be a colossal failure from their perspective.

Maybe Winnington could get it at Aussie trials but Short will probably not peak until Paris.

I think from what we have seen over the past 12 months, Popovici should certainly not have the favourite tag for the 200. It’s a very open event, I think I’d want to be with Richards but I’m biased being British.
Popovici has been looking more like his 2022 self so far this season.

Lukas Märtens 400m Freestyle 3:40,33 at the German National Championships in Berlin.
Looks like Paris will be the last time we have to put up with that ridiculous world record line that gobbles everyone up in the last 100.

That 1:55.35 is faster than Wang Shun went at trials last year and then he went 1:54 at Asian Games later in the year. If Marchand wants that gold he's gonna have to swim a best time in the Olympic final after a very heavy program consisting of 2 x 400 IM, 3 x 200 FL, 3 x 200 BR and 2 x 200 IM plus some relays while Wang Shun will probably only have swum 2 x 200 IM plus maybe the 4x200 relay final. It'll be a massive feat if Marchand can pull it off.
