This week’s competition features Ledecky in the 400m freestyle on Thursday, an event in which she holds the American and meet record; Weitzeil in the 50m freestyle on Thursday; Smith in the 100m backstroke on Friday, an event in which she holds the American and meet record; and Kalisz in the 400 IM on Friday, the event that he won at the Tokyo Olympics.
Notable international athletes expected to compete include teenage sensation Summer McIntosh (Canada), who recently became the youngest world champion since 2011 and the youngest Canadian world champion in history after winning the 200m butterfly and 400m individual medley as a 15-year-old at the 2022 World Championships.
McIntosh will go head-to-head against Ledecky in the 400m freestyle on Thursday and attempt to snap the American’s 10-year undefeated streak in domestic, long-course freestyle races of 400 meters or longer. While McIntosh took silver to Ledecky’s gold in this event at this year’s World Championships, the Canadian phenom still managed to become only the fourth woman in history to break four minutes in the event (3:59.39).
