Background

[edit]

South Africa's Chad Le Clos was the defending champion and former world record holder in the event. He had won four titles since 2010 and entered as the second seed after a season-best 1:50.42 at the final World Cup stop. The top seed was Italy’s Alberto Razzetti, who swam 1:50.10 to win silver at the 2023 European Championships. Canada's Ilya Kharun, the reigning Olympic bronze medallist, held both the Canadian short-course (25 m) and long-course (50 m) records and aimed to improve on his 8th-place finish at the previous World Short Course Championships. The USA’s Trenton Julian, who placed 7th at the previous Worlds, entered with a season best of 1:51.00. Estonia’s Kregor Zirk and Razzetti both featured consistently during the World Cup series, while Poland’s Krzysztof Chmielewski, a 2024 Olympic finalist, had competed primarily in yards so far in the season. Japan’s Daiya Seto, a former champion, was absent from the event due to injury.[3]

SwimSwam predicted Kharun would win, Le Clos would come second, and Julian would come third.[3]
