Walk around Budapest

no american legends

The US swimming team is one of the favorites for the World Championships. However, in Budapest, for the first time since 2000, we will not see a 23-time Olympic champion. Michael Phelps, nor a six-time Olympic champion Ryan Lochte.

Phelps, 31, retired from the sport after the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, where he won his 28th Olympic medal. However, he continues to train, so maybe we will watch his new swims.

Lochte, 32, is still serving a suspension that ends at the end of the month. The swimmer was punished for a scandalous incident at a gas station in Rio, where he appeared drunk along with three friends.

The fastest swimmers in the world

In their absence, the Hungarian will finally try to prove himself in all its glory. Laszlo Czech, who won only two world golds in his long career. At home, he has a chance to recoup at least a little in complex disciplines.

Who else to follow? Australian Mac Horton and Chinese Sun Yang will be favorites in the 400m freestyle. Briton stands out among breaststrokers Adam Peaty. On the back top scores must have a chinese Xuya Jiayuya and American Ryan Murphy.

In the female part, the American woman has the best chances to become a heroine. Kathy Ledecky, which in Rio took four gold and silver. All this in freestyle.

The Swedish is very strong in butterfly Sara Sjöström, and an Australian will try to compete with her Emma McKeon And Penny Oleksiak from Canada. Hungarian Katinka Hossu- a favorite of complex disciplines, and she swims well on her back. In breaststroke, we would single out American women Lilly King And Cathy Meili who will try to get ahead of the Russian woman Yulia Efimova, which scored in good shape in 2017.

In total, 21 sets of awards will be played in swimming from July 23 to 30 (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, complex, relay races, mixed relay races).

Chinese medals

On Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro history repeated itself - seven medals the highest standard the Chinese out of eight possible.

As for the Russians, even two medals can be considered a success here. So, coaching staff The national team was given a medal plan for the athletes - two bronze medals.
