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 Results LivestreamThis morning’s heats on day two of the 2026 AP Race London International have set the stage for some potentially explosive finals this evening at the London Aquatic Centre, with multiple Olympians and world champions diving in alongside rising talent from around the world.
Last night, 17-year-old Linda Roth of Germany ripped a monster new lifetime best en route to capturing the women’s 400m freestyle silver and she is primed to do additional damage on day two.
The European Junior Championships-bound teen captured the top seed in the 200m free in this morning’s prelims, rocking a big-time PB of 1:57.52.
That holds an over-second advantage ahead of the likes of Madison Mintenko of the United States (1:58.69) and a pair of British Freyas in national record holder Freya Colbert (1:58.80) and Olympic teammate Freya Anderson (1:58.84). American Anna Moesch is also in the mix, holding steady at the 5th-seed in 1:59.00 in a follow-up to her head-turning 50m free PB from yesterday.
Additional Americans to watch tonight include Ryan Erisman in the men’s 400m free, owning the 3rd seed (3:50.82) behind top-seeded Petar Mitsin of Bulgaria (3:49.07) and Germany’s weapon Oliver Klemet (3:50.13). Jack McMillan, Tyler Melbourne-Smith, James Guy and Daniel Wiffen are also among the 4free finalists.
The stars n’ stripes’ Jonny Kulow topped the men’s 100m free prelims in a swift 48.68 as one of two sub-49-second swims of the morning.
Joining him under the barrier was 19-year-old Jacob Mills, who hit 48.91, with Matt Richards, Gabriel Shepherd, London Rising and Tom Dean ready to rumble.
The women’s 100m back saw Charlotte Crush of the United States hit the sole time of the field under a minute, clocking 59.95, as Audrey Deriveaux is slated to battle fellow teenager Amalie Smith of the host nation in the 400m IM. Smith captured the pole position in 4:41.69, with Derivaux right behind.
We’ll see if Estonian Ralf Tribuntsov can lower his national record even further in the final of the men’s 50m back, having already erased his former mark of 24.87 from last year with a quicker top-seeded effort of 24.86.
Finally, Adam Peaty, Olympic champion and world record holder, enters tonight as the 3rd seed in the 100m breaststroke in 59.97.
He’ll be flanking top-seeded Oliver Dawson of Canada, who registered 59.55, followed by American Alexi Avakov, who touched in 59.90 this morning.
