\t\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n

Now that the Commonwealth Games, the European Championships, and the Pan Pacific Championships are all over, it\u2019s time to take a breather and look ahead. Far ahead. We\u2019re now just two years away from the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics!<\/p>\n


\n
\n
\n <\/p>\n

I realize that two years out is way, way too early to start making medal predictions. After all, in 2018, nobody would\u2019ve called Lydia Jacoby a medal contender in the 100 breast for the Tokyo Olympics. For that matter, nobody in 2018 would\u2019ve considered that the 2020 Tokyo Olympics would have failed to occur in 2020\u2026<\/p>\n


\n
\n
\n <\/p>\n

In any case, the point here is just to have fun and take stock of what the state of the sport is right now. We get periodic comments about who is the biggest guarantee for gold right now, so let\u2019s try to answer that question! I\u2019m going to look at active swimmers\u2019 best times since the Paris Olympics and try to see what we can learn.<\/p>\n

If we just look at the gap from #1 to #2 in the post-Paris time frame, that spread looks like this: \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n
\n <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n
\n
\n <\/p>\n

At the top of the list, it\u2019s the Gretchen Walsh<\/strong><\/a> and Summer McIntosh<\/strong><\/a> show. In four events (Gretchen in the 50\/100 fly, Summer in the 200 fly and 400 IM), they are very, very, very far ahead of their next active competitor. Kate Douglass<\/strong><\/a> is next on the list in the 50 free, which is especially noteworthy since, as we\u2019ve recently written<\/a>, Gretchen isn\u2019t just #2 in this event since Paris \u2014 she\u2019s #2 all-time.<\/p>\n


\n
\n
\n <\/p>\n

We have to go all the way down to #6 on the list to get our first male event \u2014 Leon Marchand<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s unbelievable world record in the 200 IM about 1.4% ahead of the fast-improving Hubert Kos<\/strong><\/a>. We didn\u2019t get to see Marchand swim the 200 IM at Euros due to injury, but we definitely hope he recovers soon.<\/p>\n


\n
\n
\n <\/p>\n

The other three events with at least a 1% gap are Sara Curtis<\/strong><\/a> (UVA \u2013 European Theater)\u2019s new world record in the 50 back, Summer again in the 400 free, and Kliment Kolesnikov<\/strong><\/a> (inscrutable acronym) also in the 50 back.<\/p>\n


\n
\n
\n <\/p>\n

At the very bottom of the list we have the events where attempting to make a gold medal prediction right now is extremely fraught. With the narrowest possible margin, Marrit Steenbergen<\/strong><\/a> is just 0.01s ahead of Kate Douglass<\/strong><\/a> in the 100 free. Before 2026, there were only two 51 second swims in the history of this event. In 2026 alone, there have been nine.<\/p>\n


\n
\n
\n <\/p>\n

While not likely to touch the world record anytime soon, the men\u2019s 800 free has been historically exciting over the last several years \u2014 with Sam Short\u2019s 7:36.7 barely ahead of Ahmed Jaouadi<\/a>\u2018s 7:36.8. I can\u2019t predict who will win, but the race will probably be spectacular.<\/p>\n

For some events, there may not be a clear #1, but at least there is a clear gap at the top right now. For instance, in the women\u2019s 200 breast, the rankings since Paris are:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n
  1. 2:18.50 \u2014 Kate Douglass<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  2. 2:19.32 \u2014 Evgenia Chikunova<\/a><\/li>\n

  3. 2:19.70 \u2014 Angharad Evans<\/a><\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  4. 2:21.71 \u2014 Tes Schouten<\/a><\/li>\n

    \n<\/ol>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Three women under 2:20, fairly close to each other. Then two full seconds back to 4th place.<\/p>\n


    \n
    \n
    \n <\/p>\n

    There\u2019s a similar shape in the women\u2019s 800 free with the top three about seven seconds ahead of fourth (although Summer McIntosh<\/strong><\/a> is unlikely to swim it in LA). Ledecky is shooting to become the first swimmer to win five consecutive medals in an individual event. What color will that fifth medal be?\u00a0<\/p>\n

      The next one down is another women\u2019s event, and one I\u2019ve already talked about: the women\u2019s 100 free. As with Summer in the 800 free, we have no idea what Kate Douglass<\/strong><\/a> will swim in LA:<\/p>\n

        For some events, not only is there not a clear #1 or a clear gap at the top, but it seems like the entire final might be right there. In the men\u2019s 200 free, there are nine guys within 1% of the top time. There are only nine men that have ever broken 1:44 in the 200 free, and five of them are active right now:<\/p>\n

          In the men\u2019s 100 breast, there are similarly nine guys within a half percent of bronze position, with 3rd through 6th spanning a mere 0.05. And that\u2019s with Adam Peaty<\/strong><\/a> nowhere in the top group either! Van \u201cVan Pacs\u201d Mathias is the top breaststroker in the last two seasons \u2014 and still more than a second away from Peaty\u2019s record:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just as the men\u2019s 200 breast has four Japanese swimmers in its top nine, here four of the top nine are German. German Trials might feature a medal-worthy time being left at home:<\/p>\n

                The split between the events might be the most interesting take-away. The three most-bunched events (and eight of the top nine!) are all men\u2019s, the nine most spread-out are women\u2019s. Men\u2019s swimming right now is a knife fight; women\u2019s is in an era of dynasties. In the below table, I\u2019m showing the events by \u201cbunching\u201d: how wide the spread is from 1st to 6th, and how many swimmers are within 1% of 1st and 0.5% of 3rd place, respectively:<\/p>\n
