China continues their great start to the championships!

Decent prelims session on day 2. Both Masse and Wilm easily qualified for the semis. Masse in particular looked the best she has all season so that's a good sign. I believe Angus and Finlin also had PB's in their events even though they didn't qualify for the next stage. Was hoping for Acevedo to sneak into the 100 back semis but he was well off his trials time.

She did, she qualified in 14th. Barely made it in.

Wow, Ceccon and Armstrong barely make it to the semis

Just got to say that it was really nice seeing so much participation in this thread yesterday after what felt like a dead 2022 World Championships thread. Looking forward to the 2nd day of competition

Yes, it counts. Both Cheng and Pan have the standard now

Believe it or not, she was the fastest Canadian this year before these championships when she recorded a 54.39 at an event in January I think

I will say that the one good thing to come from the 400 free is that this is the first rough swim for Summer. The adversity had to come at some point. Better to happen now than at the Olympics. Hopefully, it doesn't affect her too much and she can have a great rest of the championships.

Well MacNeil advanced and looked great overall. Then it went downhill after that

King Kyle does it again! 4th gold of the day for Australia

So it's day one and we've already had as many world records as the entire 2022 world championships

O'Callaghan 52.08 flat start, Jack 51.69 , Harris 52.29, McKeon 51.90 Good Lord what times

Another WR, complete dominance by the Aussies in the relay

He's done it! 4:02.50 New World Record

3 DQ's!!! McKeown is one of them

57.82 for Qin. Gonna be hard to beat him tomorrow

He's been having some mental health struggles

I have no words

um, Ledecky is way behind

We're gonna have a swimoff!

dang, Hansson and Pudar miss out on the final

I believe Short and Hafnaoui swam the 7th and 8th fastest performances of all time. They are also the 4th and 5th fastest performers of all time.
