Just 1 week ago,they destroyed the current WR,which only recently was Pellegrini's 15 year old untouchable time. No one else is close McIntosh is capable but unlikely even to swim the 200 Free Both Australians wont medal? Your comment is beyond ridiculous

So Titmus and Mollie O will BOTH not medal in the 200m Free? ok Summer wont medal in the 400IM Ledecky will miss the final of the 800 and 1500 Australia will get beaten by Team GB in the Womens 4 x100m Relay

Cam McEvoy in the 100m Free i would think he puts up a time for the 4x100m Relay Mollie O in the 100m Back and breaks 58 seconds Kaylee in the 200m Free Again,thinking about the relay

Fairweather may sneak a medal in the 400m Free but she is up it against Titmus,Ledecky and McIntosh. She beat McIntosh for 3rd back in 2023 and it could happen again. If not,then McIntosh will be challenging Titmus and Ledecky with Fairweather in 4th/5th For the 200m Freestyle, I think her chances pretty slim I am not sure how she will be ahead of Mollie O'Callaghan Ariane Titmus Siobhon Haughey Summer McIntosh (if she decides to race it) There will be two Americans around 1.55 or lower. It will need a 1.53 Mid or lower to medal and Fairweather's best is 1.55.4 As for Clareburt, No one is beating Leon Marchand. Carson Forster (USA) has been 4.06 Clareburt may fight for Bronze with the 2nd American, Litchfield and both Japanese qualifiers

2.04 looks like the cutoff for a medal in Paris for the 200 Fly Summer and Regan Smith lead the way Zhang Yufei has been 2.03 although not since Tokyo and it would not surprise if Dekkers hits 2.04 by Australian trials.

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

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?

For the 200m Free,Canada have a 1.53 swimmer (McIntosh) and now another 1.55 low swimmer with an additional 2 x 1.57 swimmers. Canada are easily ahead of GB who are a clear 5th.

Overall, congratulations to Team GB for topping the medal tally and destroying both the USA and China Actually,I dont really know a huge amount about Equestrian and Judo,but all the very best anyways! Swimming though, I'll bite and pick it apart! "..I think both men's Freestyle relays can win.. " 4 x100m Free -Mens The USA are stacked. They have 10 current swimmers under 48 seconds,with 4 swimmers under 47.5 GB have Richards at 47.45 and another 2 under 48 seconds,plus Whittle at 48.0 GB will be fighting China and Australia for the minor medals 4 x 200m Free -Mens Agreed! Team GB will head in Paris as heavy favourites for Gold in the 4 x200m Free "......another Gold can come from. Men's 100m Breast,50m Free, 200m Free and 200m IM...." Mens 100m Breastroke. If Peaty is any where near his best, he will win. Qin is currently at 57.6,which Peaty hasnt been there since 2021,but no doubt the recent British trials has indicated he is getting back. Mens 50m Free Already discussed,but McEvoy is the fastest this year and the fastest last year. Only a peak Caleb Dressel has been 0.02 quicker back in 2019 The US and Australian trials will sort this pecking order out very quickly. Mens 200m Free Popovic and now Martens are quicker than the British Record.There is a stack of swimmers sitting at 1.44 and could be the closest race at Paris. Possible that GB could win Gold and possible that may not even medal. Mens 200 IM Who is going to beat Marchand in Paris? Wang is still good and the Americans (Casais and even Michael Andrew) have all been quicker than Dean or Scott. "......Other medal chances include Men's Medley, 100m Back, 400m IM, Women's 400m IM and 4x200m Free...." Men's Medley Depends on Peaty but Bronze is possible.China and USA will fight this out. 100m Back Not sure if you meant /men or Women here but Womens -Dawson will be in a battle for Bronze with Kaylee and Regan expected to dominate. Even Bronze will be tough.The US trials for that second spot will be a blood bath and even MOC swam 58.0 in Australia last week for laughs. Mens: Oliver Morgans 52.70 could get him into the final but I cant see a medal. Mens 400m IM With Marchand,Kalaiz,Foster and Clareburt,I'm not sure that GB will be challenging here for any medal. Womens 400m IM Same as the Men.There is a stack of current swimmers well ahead of the British record McIntosh is untouchable.Katie Grimes has been 4.32 recently as has Jenn Forrester of Australia. Kaylee just swum 4.28 but likely not to swim it in Paris! Womens 4 x 200m Free Australia, USA and China by a long way! Not sure how GB will even consider a medal here.

I'm not a rowing fan,but looking at the 2023 Worlds where GB won 6 gold medals,it seems to include 2 Golds for Para Rowing?

The same exists with Sjostrom She swims 23.6 ,she wins or she swims 23.8,then shes beatable

The Womens 50m Free evens out with the Mens 50m Free Both Sjostrom and McEvoy will need to be well below their best to. lose The Medley Relay is countered by the Womens 4 x200M Free relay and ZSC evens out with Sam Short in both the 400m/800m especially without the Tunisian. I wouldnt write off the Womens medley anyway. The key is Breastroke and we only need one of our main swimmers to be sub 1.06 Hodges and Strauch have been there and there are other options including Kaylee especially if MOC swims a Sub 58 back.

The Australian swim team is stronger now than in Tokyo. Upcoming swimming trials for Australia and USA will be telling. As for the overall team as it stands now,I would say we could exceed expectations with huge GOLD chances in the below events Mens Swimming 50m Free 100m Free 400m Free 800m Free 200m Breastroke Mens 4x 100m Free Womens Swimming 100m Free 200m Free 400m Free 100m Backstroke 200m Backstroke 200m IM Womens 4 x 100m Free Womens 4 x 200m Free 10km Diving 10m Platform- Mens Athletics High Jump -Womens Pole Vault - Womens Rowing Pairs -Womens Eights -Mens Cycling BMX Park Freestyle -Mens BMX Racing -Womens Sailing ICLA Laser -Mens Slalom Canoeing C1 - Rowing C1X Plus another stack of medal chances in Swimming Basketball Athletics Field Hockey Track Cycling Surfing Sprint Canoeing

Result? Times? looked on the officlal website but it was down

Might be more reflective on the US perceived lack of stars but both the US and China wont let that happen.
