5 Races To Watch
1. Men’s 100 Free: Chalmers Cometh.
One of the most dramatic races of the 2016 Rio Olympics was the men’s 100 free, where Australian youngster Kyle Chalmers roared from 7th to 1st over the final 50 meters. Chalmers will make his 2016 World Cup debut in Singapore after entering 5 events, but none of them will be as hotly-anticipated as his 100 free. That race leads off the program on Friday morning. He’ll attempt to chase down series points leader Vladimir Morozov along with Great Britain’s Ben Proud and a host of tough sprinters.
2. Women’s 100 Breast: The Gang’s (Almost) All Here
The women’s breaststrokes have been some of the most consistently entertaining races of the tour, and the usual suspects are back in business in Singapore with one major exception: American Katie Meili is not listed on the entry lists. Still, that leaves Jamaica’s Alia Atkinson, who tied a world record in the first cluster, and Russia’s Yulia Efimova, a double silver-medalist in Rio. Plus American Olympians Molly Hannis and Breeja Larson will enter along with Iceland’s Hilda Luthersdottir, Japan’s Kanako Watanabe and more.
3. Women’s 200 Back:
The women’s backstrokes have been a major running rivalry between series points leader Katinka Hosszu and Ukrainian sensation Daryna Zevina. The two have gone 1-2 in 8 of their last 9 backstroke races on the World Cup, dating back to the start of the second cluster in September. Hosszu won 6 of those races, but Zevina won all three 200 backstrokes in the second cluster, making their showdown in Singapore even more intriguing. Then throw Emily Seebohm back into the mix – the Australian won a pair of 50 backs early in the tour but sat out the second cluster – and you’ve got the makings of some huge backstroke battles.
4. Men’s 200 Fly
The men’s 200 fly belonged to Chad le Clos through the first cluster of meets, with Philip Heintz second in all three showings. Then Japan’s Daiya Seto showed up in the second cluster, pushing le Clos twice and finally toppling him in Doha. Now all three return in what should be an outstanding battle in a very thin event – just 10 swimmers are entered, meaning prelims will really be about saving energy before pulling the rip cord in the final.
5. Women’s 400 Free
Hosszu is still undefeated on the tour in the 400 free, but in Singapore she’ll face her toughest challenge yet: the Netherlands’ Sharon van Rouwendaal along with Hosszu’s Hungarian teammate Boglarka Kapas. Both are mega-threats who could snap Hosszu’s streak as she extends her event lineup to 14 total entries in Singapore.

Anyone know why (sick, missed, ?) Kelsi was a DNS for her 100 fly today? She did do the medley relay at the end.
Maybe it would be quicker to say where the FINA live stream is available instead of where it’s unavailable. 🙂
I guess it’s a mistake that Zevina won the last 3 100m, that was Hosszu, whilst she collected gold on the 200m events.
NICKH: Other than these two athletes and Seebohm can hardly stand on the podium. Hosszu is the only one who can swim below 2:00, Seebohm the only below 2:06 on long course, and it’s more than impressive how the Ukrainian girl performs recently.
Sorry, just checked it, all three were under 2:00 this year (no one else), but only Zevina over this series.
Well Caldwell, is the Olympic bronze medalist… Not saying she will win, but definitely a swimmer to look out for in this cluster of the World Cups.
I will also look out for another bronze medallist, in free, for a personal favorite, Boglarka Kapas. She has times on long course (400 and 800) far enough to take on anybody else in here, but this is short course, half of the 25 meters is about turning.
I think Chalmers might struggle vs Vlad. He is a back half guy and Vlad has speed and in short course, it is much harder to back half a 100. But we will see….. Should be fun to watch….oh, we can’t watch! 🙁
Chalmers is also showing signs of being more a 100/200 man than a 50/100. Still, more of these outings should not do him any harm. For too long; there has been an “Oi doan wanna” attitude towards SC racing by too many AUS swimmers, enabled all too often by their coaches who bemoan “but they don’t get into their stroke”. When these swimmers fall short at the highest level due to shoddy race skills (that are at a premium in SC); the facts essentially speak for themselves.
What is Chalmers best 200 time?
I reckon Hilary Caldwell could also challenge for the top spot in the women’s 200 back.
I’m sorry but until US starts having top athletes go it’s not appetizing. Now it would be very interesting to see the NCAA take teams over to a world cup. See how the collegiate best does against the so-called worlds best.
Kelsi Worrell is a top athlete and Molly Hannis as well
Huh? Josh Prenot and others are swimming.
You are right. Hosszu, Le Clos, Seebohm and many more are just second class swimmers. Beeter to keep watching wrestling.
It’s fair to say that only a small part of the best swimmers of the planet regularly goes at these world cup stages. Most of best US swimmers don’t swim in that world cup. Generally it’s Hosszu in every race, le Clos, Morozov, Atkinson, Seebohm, Ottesen, van der Burgh and a few others. Always the same names. Always the same results. I find that a little bit boring. Fortunately we sometimes have new names, like Chalmers and Worrell here or some of the best US juniors next week.
That’s because many of USAs best wimmers are in college.
