2026 AP RACE LONDON INTERNATIONAL
Saturday, May 23rd – Monday May 25th Prelims at 9:30am local (4:30am ET)/Finals at 7pm local (2pm ET) Sat & Sun/Finals at 6:30pm local (1:30pm ET) on Mon London Aquatics Centre LCM (50m) SwimSwam Preview Meet Central Entries Day 1 Recap/Day 2 Recap Results LivestreamDay two of the 2026 AP Race London International brought about the final of the women’s 4o0m IM, with 16-year-old Amalie Smith stunning the field with a gold medal-winning performance.
Smith stopped the clock at a mighty result of 4:35.18 to clear the field by over two seconds, erasing the prior meet record in the process.
The former AP Race standard stood at the 4:37.99 European Championships medalist Katie Shanahan established at last year’s edition of this competition.
Tonight, however, Smith hacked over a second off that previous mark to grab the gold ahead of American Audrey Derivaux (4:37.27) and Spaniard Alba Vazquez (4:38.52).
Teenager Smith’s performance tonight overtook her previous PB and British Age Record of 4:35.46 notched just last month at the Aquatics GB Championships.
It also beat the 4:35.49 she put on the books for silver at the 2025 World Junior Championships.
Splits for the teen’s outing this evening included:
29.17 1:02.60 1:39.65 2:16.00 2:53.52 3:31.92 4:04.44 4:35.18
Her effort this evening keeps her positioned as the 4th-fastest British woman in history, with a long career ahead of her.
American Derivaux was also a formidable force in this final, hitting a time of 4:37.27 to notch a new personal best. Entering this competition, the 16-year-old’s PB rested at the 4:39.67 from last year’s World Junior Championships, so she knocked well over a second off that result to snag the silver tonight.
Spain’s Alba Vazquez also landed on the podium in 4:38.52, good enough for bronze.
Smith now ranks 6th in the world on the season.
