Canadian Maggie MacNeil and American Shaine Casas were the top point scorers at the second leg of the 2022 FINA World Cup in Toronto, earning $12,000 apiece for their efforts.
MacNeil excelled in front of her home crowd, winning the women’s 50 back (25.96), 50 fly (24.75) and 100 fly (54.78), setting a new Canadian Record in both fly races while also coming within two-tenths of the world record (and setting a World Cup Record) in the 100 fly.
Those three performances earned MacNeil 58.5 points for the meet, edging out American Beata Nelson (58.3) for the top spot.
Nelson repeated in all three events she won at the first stop in Berlin, leading the women’s 100 back (55.75), 200 back (2:00.50) and 200 IM (2:05.08) to earn $10,000—the same total she won last week.
Katie Ledecky rounded out the top three with 55.8 points, highlighted by her world record swim in the 1500 free, while Summer McIntosh (54.8) and Berlin winner Siobhan Haughey (54.4) weren’t far behind in fourth and fifth.

On the men’s side, Casas came out on top with 58.5 points, winning the 100 back (48.84) and 200 IM (1:50.37) with new World Cup Records while also leading the field in the 200 back (1:48.99) and 100 IM (51.03). As his lowest FINA point-scoring swim, his 100 IM (900 points) didn’t factor into the scoring as only a swimmer’s top three performances factor in.
Casas’ American teammate Nic Fink swept the men’s 50, 100 and 200 breast for the second straight time, remaining undefeated for the series while taking second in Toronto with 57.5 points.
Trinidad & Tobago’s Dylan Carter continued to light up the sprints, sweeping the men’s 50 free, 50 back and 50 fly for the second consecutive week to sit third in the Toronto rankings.

Shaine screwing up the 100 IM in Berlin is going to end up costing him like $55-90k.
For me, the top two moments have been Ledecky’s world record and the phenomenal ability of Nic Fink to get his hand on the wall first – Bravi!
Slowly but surely World Cup organizer are moving to the main principal of professional sport: the higher level of performance is shown the higher earnings are. The next natural step would be making the prize purse depending on the strength of the field. The same way it is done in golf and tennis. And making participation in the tournament by invitation based on overall current ranking. So we will have a real competition for the real money.
What is the excitement now to watch competition of a bunch of local swimmers who are not even qualified for the “B” FINA standards.
Just only one race like we had between Ledecky and McIntosh will make the stands full of… Read more »
