20 year old Anastasia Gorbenko broke her own Israeli national record in the 400 IM for the 3rd time in the last week as she swam a 4:34.87 today at the third and final stop of the Mare Nostrum Tour.
Gorbenko previously set the record at a 4:36.95 in Canet a week ago before improving the record to a 4:36.57 in Barcelona two days ago.
Her consistent improvement has been moving her up the World Rankings as well. She now moves up from the 10th fastest swimmer in the World this season to #5.

She was out much faster on the first 50 of the butterfly leg today. She also was fast on the first 50 of her breaststroke leg. Her freestyle split today was around her split from Barcelona, but slightly slower than Canet as she pushed the front end of the races more.
The swim marks her 6th National Record in the last week. In addition to breaking the 400 IM record for the 3rd time, she also has broken her own 200 IM record twice and she also became the new record holder in the 200 backstroke.
This past February, she won silver in the 400 IM at the 2024 World Championships in a 4:37.36. Last summer at 2023 Worlds, she missed finals as she swam a 4:49.64 for 26th. She now is just off of what it took to make the podium in Fukuoka as Jenna Forrester was 3rd in a 4:32.30 then.
There’s so many athletes like her that are peaking just before the Olympics. I really, really hope that her and many others are able to continue this momentum into Paris and not go these PBs now and flop in Paris.
I think the gold and silver medal are locked for Mcintosh and Grimes, but the bronze is played between Colbert, Gorbenko, Weyant/Hayes or Forrester/Ramsay.
I can certainly see her dropping a 4:32 and sneaking in that bronze medal.
I think there’s enough people getting down towards Grimes best time that I wouldn’t say silver is SAFE anymore.
Will be interesting to see how Grimes looks at trials.
She literally gets faster every swim. Crazy stuff
She just keeps dropping into Olympic medal contender now wow she’s just getting faster and faster. Hope she’s able to drop more in Paris.
My sentiment exactly.
Very low chance still for a medal. But headed in the right direction. It’s gonna take sub 4:32
