Lukas Martens will swim the 400 free again on the first day of german champs. Maybe another world record?

He’s almost always the fastest at German champs. Another WR would be epic.

Pan Zhanle has been out of the public eye for more than half a year, and has been immersed in training. Let’s go ,Panzhanle! Definitely something to look forward to!

Curious if he’s focused on the 200 too. If he’s really going for it his times can be scary

It’s been a minute since this has been talked about but we know that Yu Zidi has a very likely shot to make the Chinese worlds team this year but does she have a chance to challenge some records this year?

Maybe some national junior records? Not familiar with those standards but the WJRs on the women side are extremely fast so probably not those.
