At the 2023 World Championships, the United States handily defeated the teams from China and Australia, with the quartet of Ryan Murphy, Nic Fink, Dare Rose, and Jack Alexy setting a new Championship record of 3:27.20. China took the silver medal in a new Asian record, albeit 1.80 seconds back  However, Fukuoka was just the start of the season for the Chinese as they dropped nearly a full two seconds off that time (1.99) just a few months laters as the set a new mark of 3:27.01 at the Asian Games.

In Paris, at the Olympics, even with substituting in the World Record holder in the 100 fly, Caeleb Dressel, Team USA could not match the firepower of the Chinese and lost for the first time in the event at the Olympics. 12 months later, entering Singapore, with none of their legs returning the Americans looked to be unlikely to seriously challenge the Chinese, and over the past week sickness has put any of those hopes by the wayside as 200 fly champion Luca Urlando has been theorized to swim the opening leg.

Well, the wait is over, at least for the preliminaries relay lists and the number two seeds, USA, flanked by the Netherlands and Great Britain, have opted for a relay line of Tommy Janton, Campbell McKean, Dare Rose, and Jack Alexy. Alexy’s inclusion, the silver medalist and American record holder, is likely to help ensure the team makes it out of the prelims.

Countering them in the next heat are the Chinese who have opted to use Wang Shun, Qin Haiyang, Xu Fang, Pan Zhanle. Pan, the WR in the 100 free, has been a little off this meet but shows China’s commitment to defending their Olympic win. It looks like other teams are also not sleeping on the prelims either, as the French are calling upon Yohann Ndoye-Brouard and Maxime Grousset, while the Aussies counter with using both Matt Temple and Kyle Chalmers on the end.

Don’t forget about the Neutral Athletes in the first heat as they have a strong team of Kliment Kolesnikov, Ivan Kozhakin, Andrei Minakov, and Ivan Girev to kick things off.
