The thing to consider here with the rankings is that Shaine Casas is in the backstroke events in Westmont, and based off of his form so far I would not put it past him to take out Kos. Additionally, Charles Coll Marti is swimming the 2 breast and he can definitely give Corbeau a run for his money.

lol called out by Coleman on the pod.

Kate Douglass dumped the 200 IM at the Incheon stop for the 100 FR at the Singapore stop last year.

Swapping the 200 IM for the 100 FR is not in Kate’s long term plans.
