Magnussen dipped below 22 in the 50, 21.98. Bodes well for his 100.

Some very fast swims from The Italians – many at it close to their best. Not sure how much Martinenghi will drop again at Worlds, but he looks a big talent and will fight for the minor medals.

Lots of Brits looking very heavy, as was expected this weekend. Hibbott 7s slower than a few weeks ago being the real noticable one. Peaty will go 56s this year in my opinion.

A medal or two, 50 or 100, would be a huge early birthday present. He’ll be 18 a few days after Worlds… Postpone the booze haha

True 🙂 He went 59.46 and 26.97 at the beginning of April, so why not.

So, FlĂłra Molnár’s 26.15 (4th place) is a new Hungarian record and A Cut for the Worlds.
