This needs an update 👀 Kaylee McKeown - 2:06.63 Australian OLY Trials Damn.

[@Mythos131]

Summer has a habit of shaving ridiculous amounts of time of her PB's. Gotta go with Summer breaking the world record and winning gold.

[@fh7054]

Excellent thank you

[@deonbadenhorst]

It's going to be an incredible race, so hard to predict, but thats just all races right now!

[@panner11]

You were right about the stackedness of the field, Pickrem has now also went into the 2:07s

[@PropulsionSwimming]

Just to make the 200m IM final now is going to be a worthy achievement for so many swimmers

[@Ian-hg8gx]

the depth of this event is very strong, but as the final is on day 8 of a 9 day expected busy program for Mcintosh, Mckeown and douglass i doubt the world record will be broken, as an aussie i hope kaylee can win but there is no clear favourite until the trials have been swum

[@PropulsionSwimming]

Is there a chance the world record could get hit as early as a a trials rather than at the Olympics? 200m IM is day one of Aussie trials as an example of where schedule might help swimmers.

[@GoWestYoungMan]

McIntosh has the most upside of the 3 with a significantly slower Breaststroke than the other 2. Her breaststroke is improving substantially so pick her for gold. It's not a given that she will race the 200IM but likely she'll swim it.

[@PropulsionSwimming]

Not that we disagree she has huge Breaststroke upside but Kaylee has a massive amount to give on the Backstroke leg as well. Just looking at how strong her 200m Back is shows the endurance available to her Think also one of her new sponsors (McIntosh) could have accidentally leaked her schedule, pre swim swam. Looks like she’s picking the 200m IM and 400m IM over the 200m Free and 800m Free. We will find out for sure at Canadian trials in a few weeks time 🤞

[@angelamontano3063]

Good analysis, but if you had to choose a winner that you think would be the winner, which one would you choose?

[@harrymaishman5755]

Heats and semis in most events are going to need to be so quick at this Olympics because the standard is so so high.

[@PropulsionSwimming]

To make the final in this event is going to be an achievement

[@richardbarnes4235]

No one from GB team but should be great final between 3-4 top world class swimmers in this event

[@Royelsworth]

she just Broke the WOrld Record so he improved huge on Breath stroke

[@jverkaik100]

In the 400 IM that Summer just swam, her first leg of the breast was 37.92, 0.71 seconds faster than her 38.63 leg in the breast of her 2:06.89. Even if she just does that time (I'm assuming she could do it faster in the 200 though), she's in WR territory. Looking forward to seeing what she does tomorrow.

[@PropulsionSwimming]

Very excited to see how she goes

[@dinukadaluwatte4145]

Gold - Cadwallader Silver - Summer Bronze - Kaylee

[@chdolan3530]

The 3 woman mentioned if they all swim it will be on the podium. I hope Summer picks this over 800. Kaylee and Kate I think will swim it. Alex Walsh or Yu Yiting if Summer is not there. I think the record could go for sure

[@PropulsionSwimming]

Alex Walsh is a podium contender for sure! She’s really not that far behind the top three

[@chdolan3530]

@@PropulsionSwimming Alex Walsh may have the advantage of not having a full program. I suppose the only doubt for both Walsh and Douglas is getting through the US trails.

[@PropulsionSwimming]

Get through that gauntlet and it’s game on!

[@XDF745]

Pretty sure Kaylee's breast and free splits are inaccurate. If you watch the swim live you can see that the touch doesn't register for the breast to free turn until she pushes off with her feet.

[@PropulsionSwimming]

Only in swimming something like this could happen 😅

[@michaelguest4247]

If McIntosh actually swims it then I wouldn't bet against her winning the gold medal.

[@PropulsionSwimming]

Think it’s almost confirmed at this point. Think also one of her new sponsors could have accidentally leaked her schedule, per swimswam.

[@jpmservice4953]

And if for the 2024 Canadian Olympic Trials of May 13-19, this record was already broken ???

[@Mythos131]

The people running this channel are very knowledgeable and unlikely to make a mistake like that

[@PropulsionSwimming]

Everyone one of these three girls has a chance at getting the World Record whenever they get in the water next. If it goes at either trials then it’s obviously a fantastic achievement and great for the sport. The time is very tough though…

[@Mythos131]

I think you're confusing this with Summer swimming the fastest time of year at the point during the Canadian Olympic trials.

[@eduardosanabria531]

Summer is favorite..

[@PropulsionSwimming]

Just…

[@BG-id2cv]

in her recent breaking of Stephanie Rice's Australian (super suit) record, Kaylee was cruising on her backstroke leg, remember, she's the world champ in the 50 m backstroke and her backstroke split was well below what she can do. So I think she can improve on that swim, wins in Paris and breaks the world record.

[@PropulsionSwimming]

Yeah for the 200 back WR holder to not be the fastest on the backstroke leg might point to her playing with pacing in that last swim, and seeing how much more she can push it without hurting her back end.

[@CaptonicCapricorn]

Kaylee's breast and free spilts are incorrect. On the breast to free turn, the touch pad only registered when she touched with her feet and not with her hands. So she was about 0.5 faster on breast and 0.5 slower on free

[@PropulsionSwimming]

Oh man 😅 thanks for pointing this out, crazy they didnt retrospectively correct the splits

[@Royelsworth]

mcentosh just did 205

[@rodreynolds1786]

No she didn't. The 200 IM is scheduled for May 19 at the Canadian Time trials. Maybe she'll do it then.

[@Dai-os4ex]

Kate Douglass no doubt

[@tovevanzyl7361]

I think woman’s 200 breast too

[@PropulsionSwimming]

Who do you have winning that event?

[@Royelsworth]

ahhh summer mcentosh just broke the world record in the 200 IM in Canada

[@diamonddog13]

It was the 400 IM
