Friends, it’s time for the last session at the 2025 World Aquatic Championships. The odd post-COVID cycle has meant that we’ve had a long-course World Championships every year since 2022, but now it’s time for our last World Championship session until 2027.
Event Schedule
Men’s 50 backstroke final Women’s 50 breaststroke final Women’s 50 freestyle final Men’s 1500 freestyle final Men’s 400 IM final Women’s 400 IM final Men’s 4×100 medley relay final Women’s 4×100 medley relay finalThe evening kicks off with the men’s 50 backstroke final. There, NAB athletes Kliment Kolesnikov and Pavel Samusenko are the top two seeds and looking to give their committee a 1-2 to begin the night. Kolesnikov is the world record holder and heavy favorite to win, but Coetze has been exceptional so far this weekend and is one of the strongest candidates to break up the NAB grip on the top spots.
The session begins with three 50-meter finals. After the men’s 50 backstroke, we’ve got the women’s 50 freestyle. Kasia Wasick is the top seed, followed by Milou Van Wijk, the 100 freestyle fourth-place finisher. Meg Harris and Gretchen Walsh tied for third-fastest qualifier in the semifinals and are candidates for the podium, as are Torri Huske, who’s been rounding into form after illness derailed the start of her meet and the Chinese duo of Cheng Yujie and Wu Qingfeng, who tied in the semifinals.
The spotlight then shifts to the women’s 50 breaststroke. World record holder Ruta Meilutyte is the clear favorite in this race. Aside from the aforementioned world record, she’s the only swimmer in this field that’s broken 30 seconds so far in Singapore. Several names will likely join her under that barrier tonight, likely names include 2024 silver medalist Tang Qianting, world junior record holder Benedetta Pilato, and Lilly King in the last individual race of her professional career.
With the sprints out of the way, it’s time for the men’s 1500 freestyle. Germany is the only team to put two swimmers into the men’s 400/800/1500 freestyle, producing at least one medal in the first two events. Olympic medalist Florian Wellbrock is the top seed and his compatriot Sven Schwarz joins him in this race, looking for his second medal this week. After winning the 800 freestyle in a textile world record, Ahmed Jaouadi aims to hit the distance double.
Both Bobby Finke and Sam Short have dealt with challenges at this competition, they’ll aim to end their meet on a high note on the podium. Finke is the two-time defending Olympic champion in this race and produced an incredible swim last summer in Paris for gold in a world record time.
In the final individual races of the meet, the men’s and women’s 400 IM, Leon Marchand and Summer McIntosh are the favorites. Both are the world record holders in their respective race and Marchand took over the men’s 200 IM world standard earlier this week in stunning fashion. After a bronze in the 800 freestyle yesterday, McIntosh won’t achieve her original goal of five individual gold medals. Watch for her to leave it all in the pool as she aims to pick up her fourth gold this week, which would still make her the most decorated swimmer of the meet in individual races.
