World record holder Cameron McEvoy will reportedly be testing the 100 freestyle at the Silk Road World Cup Tour next month.
According to Swimming World, McEvoy has announced that he will be racing the 50 free, 100 free, and 50 fly during the Tour. He recently announced that he had returned to training for the 100 freestyle with the intent of trying for the 4×100 freestyle relay at Short Course Worlds later this year.
He will not be racing at the Australian Short Course Nationals at the end of this month, but the Swimming Australia Selection Criteria states that athletes can be selected to the team based on a “discretionary basis” by the National Head Coach. This is “subject to medal potential in Individual Olympic Events, or for non-Olympic Individual Events.”
McEvoy, who is the world record holder in the long course 50 free, will almost certainly earn a discretionary pick, as long as the 24 athlete maximum has not been met.
The full athlete lists are not out of the World Cup yet, but it will consist of three stops across Eurasia.
Baku Azerbaijan (October 1-3) Tashkent, Uzbekistan (October 8-10) Astana Kazakhstan (October 15-17)The first stop of the tour directly conflicts with the Australian SC National meet, which will run from September 29-October 2nd.
Most of McEvoy’s SCM personal bests are from at least a decade ago with his 50 free best sitting at 20.75 from 2015, his 100 free at 46.19 from 2016, and his 50 fly at 23.73 from 2016.
His best 50 free time is notably only a tenth faster than his world record time of 20.88 in the long course version of the event. When he set his 50 free SCM best, his long course best time was 21.97.
