Several American and Canadian stars are competing in Mexico at the 2023 Jalisco International Swimming Cup in Zapopan. Additionally, retired world champion and world record holder Nicholas Santos of Brazil made an appearance.
Through 2 days of the meet, Canadians Sydney Pickrem and Katerine Savard each earned some hardware.
Pickrem topped the women’s 100m breaststroke podium in a time of 1:08.43, taking the evening by over a second.
As for Savard, she bagged two golds thus far, winning the women’s 200m free and 50m fly races. In the former, she produced a podium-topping effort of 2:02.42 while in the latter she logged a victorious result of 27.18.
43-year-old Santos took on his bread-and-butter 50m fly event, climbing atop the podium once again with a gold medal-worthy time of 23.44. That edged out American Michael Andrew who scored silver in 23.53 while Trinidad & Tobago Olympian Dylan Carter rounded out the top 3 in 23.70.
Although he’s retired, Santos now ranks #2 in the world in the 50m fly event, sitting only behind leader Takeshi Kawamoto of Japan who holds the top time in 23.26. Andrew now ranks 5th and Carter also makes it into the top 10.

It sounds like MA is in good form. 1:00:81 100br is pretty solid right now for a random off-season meet in Mexico.
43 vs. mother’s milk
I’m loving this!
Stick a fork in MA he’s done. Next gig will be sports reporter for OAN
Who knows? When he done with swimming professionally perhaps wherever he goes in life will open up his perspective.
While some aspects of his life sound like a dream, the fact of the matter is he was raised with parents who home schooled him and sheltered him since they were afraid of him learning about evolution, and who discouraged him from seeking higher education since it’s “brainwashing”. It’s not funny to me, it’s just sad. And while sometimes my reaction to that would just be to laugh, today I want to hope that where he goes next on his journey will give him a change of heart.
In all seriousness, he is trending in the wrong direction heading to Paris. Unfortunate, but it looks like he peaked at 2021 trials.
This foo def gon make a run at worlds or can he not anymore?
He can and he will.
How can you be retired and race?
Because you are Nicholas Santos
Santos should try to give it a go for this summer’s LC worlds. With no Dressel in the 50 FL, he could try to end his career with his first WC gold.
Even for someone not the biggest fan of MA, this headline is brutal lmao
I enjoy it 😁
MA?
Imagine the headline: “Retired man outsplits MA on the freestyle leg of 200 IM” 💀
‘Retiree’ ?
55 year old tamas darnyi splits 27 in 200 im
Imagine the headline: “Masters Swimmer outsplits MA on the freestyle leg of 200 IM” 😂
