Welcome to the final session of the 2025 World Aquatics World Cup. There is a lot of money on the line tonight, as well as a few Triple Crown hopefuls and a few potential “Crown Busters”.
The biggest story of the night is the overall standings race between Gretchen Walsh and Kate Douglass. Walsh currently leads by 0.2 points, but her weakest event in terms of points is today while Douglass has her strongest. We will keep you updated throughout the meet, and the women’s 100 free final is the 2nd to last event.
The meet will start with the men’s 400 IM fastest heat, which sees Shaine Casas as the top seed, just four-hundredths ahead of Carson Foster.
The women’s 800 free final will see Lani Pallister seeking her 2nd Triple Crown of the meet, as she is the top seed in the event by almost 11 seconds.
Walsh leads the women’s 100 fly final, which is a Triple Crown hopeful event as well as a crucial event for the overall standings.
There are a few other Triple Crown events with Ilya Kharun in the 50 fly, Kaylee McKeown in the 200 back, Hubert Kos in the 100 back, Luke Hobson in the 200 free, and Alex Walsh in the 200 IM
Florine Gaspard is the top seed in the women’s 50 breast as the only swimmer under 30 seconds in the event. Caspar Corbeau is the top seed in the men’s 200 breaststroke which is another potential Triple Crown event.
Kate Douglass will swim the 100 free as the 2nd-to-last event, and after that race, we should know how the final standings will shake out.
