STAMFORD, Conn. – Nov. 30, 2022 – The world’s top swimmers meet this week for the Toyota U.S. Open Swimming Championships at Greensboro Aquatic Center in Greensboro, N.C., headlined by 10-time Olympic medalist and world record holder Katie Ledecky, two-time world champion Summer McIntosh of Canada, four-time Olympic medalist Abbey Weitzeil, three-time Olympic medalist Regan Smith, and two-time Olympic medalist Chase Kalisz.

Live coverage of the competition streams exclusively on Peacock this Thursday and Friday at 6 p.m. ET. NBC will present an encore on Saturday, Dec. 10, at 4:30 p.m. ET. All television coverage will stream on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app via authentication.

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).

MICHAEL PHELPS TO JOIN NBC OLYMPICS TEAM IN TOKYO

By

Phelps – The Most Decorated Olympian of All-Time – to Serve as Primetime Correspondent 

The Opening Ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics is This Friday, July 23 on NBC

STAMFORD, Conn. – July 19, 2021 – Michael Phelps, who has won more total Olympic medals (28) and gold medals (23) than anyone in history, will join the NBC Olympics team in Tokyo, it was announced today.

Phelps, who joined the NBC Sports team on several nights at the U.S. Olympic Trials for Swimming last month in Omaha, Nebraska, will serve as a primetime correspondent in Tokyo and will also join Dan Hicks and Rowdy Gaines in the booth for select swimming competition.

“From the moment he joined our team at Trials, Michael’s ability to provide insightful analysis, thoughtful commentary and tell entertaining stories was apparent,” said Molly Solomon, Executive Producer & President, NBC Olympics Production. “We’re thrilled to have him join us in Tokyo and our audience will benefit from hearing the perspective of the most decorated Olympian of all time.”

Phelps competed in five Olympic Games from 2000-16 and holds the world record in the 400m individual medley. He is also the subject of the Peacock Original Series, Michael Phelps: Medals, Memories & More, a three-part, NBC Sports-produced retrospective on his historic career. Click here for more information on the series.

In 2008, he established the Michael Phelps Foundation to promote healthy, active lives, especially for children, primarily by expanding the opportunities for participation in the sport of swimming.
