Although these championships will be missing the likes of World Record holders Leon Marchand of France, David Popovici of Romania and Mollie O’Callaghan of Australia, there is still a plethora of talent about to descend upon Doha, Qatar.
For instance, reigning world champion Cameron McEvoy of Australia will try to repeat as gold medalist in the men’s 50m free while Tunisia’s Ahmed Hafnaoui will attempt to carry his momentum from winning gold in both the men’s 800m and 1500m freestyles in Fukuoka.
Among the women, we’ll see dynamic Kate Douglass take on a massive program including the 50m free, 100m free, 100m breast, 200m breast, 50m fly and 200m IM, the latter of which she won gold last year.
Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom is sticking to her bread-and-butter sprints, ready to fend off challengers to potential repeat titles in the 50m free and 50m fly
