Five events will be held on the morning of the second day of competition in Doha: women’s 100 back, men’s 100 back, women’s 100 breast, men’s 200 free and women’s 1500 free. The two backstroke events will begin the session with their American teammates. Claire Curzan and hunter armstrong Entered as the top seed.
Curzan competed with a personal best time of 58.35 seconds and is one of only two swimmers to qualify for seeding under the 59-second barrier.Canada’s Ingrid Wilm The other person is seeded and has a personal best time of 58.80 seconds. Two young Australians will also appear. Jaclyn Barclay and Iona Anderson. Barkley most recently won the world junior title at the event in September, with Anderson winning the silver medal. Since then, Barkley has really improved in the 200 meter distance and Anderson has really improved in the sprint distance.
Anderson, 18, is only eighth in the rankings but recently set multiple best times in the event at the Queensland Championships. She scored 59.69 points in her heat and took second place later in the day with 59.43 points. She followed that swim up and about a week later she ran her personal best time of 59.24 seconds at the Western Australian State Relay Championships, leading the relay. If she enters the tournament with the best time, she will be the third seeded participant.

Since then, she has not been able to repeat the 58-second swims she recorded throughout 2021, but if she can come within about a second of her best time, she will definitely be a medal contender.

Peter Coetzee (52.78) South Africa, Kusaweri Masiuk of Poland (52.81), and Apostolos Christ Greek (52.99). Coetzee and Masiuk are both world junior champions in the backstroke event, with Crist clocking a time of 52.09 seconds. If Cristo can run a time close to his best time, he will be very much in the gold medal conversation.
