Marrit Steenbergen and Siobhan Haughey have been lighting up the Mare Nostrum record boards over the last two stops, and they are both swimming a few events at the final stop in Barcelona.

Steenbergen is entered in the 100 free, 200 free, and 100 back this weekend, while Haughey is entered in the 50 free, 100 free, and 200 free.

Belgium’s Roos Vanotterdijk also returns for this stop after she did not race a few days ago in Canet. She is entered in the 200 free, 50 back, 200 breast, 50 fly, 100 fly, and 200 IM. In Monaco, she won the 50 fly and 100 fly.

Anastasia Gorbenko will also be racing her first stop of the tour after a very strong NCAA season. She is entered in the 100 back, 50 breast, 100 breast, and 200 IM.

Dutch breaststroker Caspar Corbeau also returns to racing in Barcelona, entered in all three breaststroke events, though the men’s breaststroke competition has been tight over the last two stops.

Notably absent from the final stop is Hungary’s Kristof Milak. He would have been one of the favorites to win one of the men’s overall prize money awards for the Tour, but he will not be eligible to win the prize since he did not race at all three stops.

Americans Ilya Kharun and Jack Alexy will also be racing with Kharun entered in the 50 fly, 100 fly, and 200 fly as the top seed in all three. Alexy is swimming the 50 free and 100 free as the top seed in both.

Also entered in the meet is Italian teenager Carlos D’Ambrosio. He has been steadily improving over the last few years, bursting into prominence with a few huge performances at the World Championships in August and then again at the World Junior Championships. He is entered in the 50 free, 100 free, and 200 free.
