Cate Campbell\u00a0<\/strong>of Australia remained the queen of consistency on Friday at the FINA World Cup in Kazan as she swam a 24.08 in the 50 free to win yet another title on her European tour this fall. Campbell has been extremely busy this month as she began her trek in Budapest on October 4 at the World Cup and continued on to Berlin a week later. Then she flew to Dallas for her first ISL meet<\/a> with the London Roar and then back to Budapest last week. Rather than go back to Australia for some much needed rest, she stayed in Europe in Kazan, Russia for some more racing at the World Cup this week.<\/p>\n

That travel schedule would exhaust anybody, but apparently not Campbell, who swam under 24.1 this year for the fifth time. She was a 24.00 at the FINA Champions Series in April which remains her season best.<\/p>\n

Campbell actually swam faster here than she did in winning the bronze medal in the 50 free at the World Championships in July when she was a 24.11 behind\u00a0Simone Manuel\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong>. She finished ahead of Sweden’s\u00a0Michelle Coleman\u00a0<\/strong>(24.28) and Russia’s\u00a0Mariia Kameneva\u00a0<\/strong>(24.32). Coleman was just off her 24.26 best time from the Berlin World Cup a couple weeks ago, but she has been consistently getting faster at each World Cup stop since she was a 24.9 at World Championships.<\/p>\n

There were a couple other swimmers to make the insane trip that Cate Campbell has made this fall as\u00a0Katinka Hosszu<\/strong> and\u00a0Michael Andrew\u00a0<\/strong>are also coming off four straight weeks of racing around the world in the World Cup and ISL. Hosszu collected her 300th World Cup win of her career with a 2:08.23 in the 200 fly, winning ahead of\u00a0Zsuzsanna Jakabos<\/strong> (2:08.76), who has swum with Hosszu for a number of those 300 wins. Surprisingly, that was the only event Hosszu swam in the session as she has been known to pack in as many swims as she can.<\/p>\n

Andrew was second in the 100 fly (51.86) behind Russia’s\u00a0Mikhail Vekovishchev\u00a0<\/strong>(51.56).<\/p>\n

Overall, the FINA World Cup circuit this fall has continued to attract some of the top level swimmers, but the meets have failed to attain any sort of depth. Only four swims in the whole meet breached the 910 points level, while 60% of swims from the nine finals did not include swims of more than 850 points, a level achieved at warm-up events galore the world over on almost every weekend of the year. For reference, 910 points is roughly the average of what the eighth place performances scored at the World Championships this summer.<\/p>\n

A regular feature of the World Cup this season has been for the last 2 to 4 places in finals to be taken up by swimmers racing the pace of the best in the world from the 50 years ago. Olympic legends Shane Gould\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Roland Matthes<\/strong> would still be competitive in today’s World Cup over 40 years after they exited the pool for the final time in the 1970s.<\/p>\n

Lithuania’s\u00a0Danas Rapsys<\/strong>, who turned down the ISL<\/a> to maximize his earnings in the World Cup and took advantage of the long course venue, swam a 3:44.60 in winning the 400 free. Rapsys had some of the worst luck at the World Championships this summer, placing fourth in the 400 free and getting locked out of a bronze medal by 0.27 seconds, and touching first in the 200 free only to get disqualified for flinching at the start. Rapsys has also been fairly consistent this fall, just like Cate Campbell, as he swam a 3:43.36 at the FINA Champions Series in May and has been under 3:45 four more times since then.<\/p>\n

Russia’s\u00a0Anton Chupkov<\/strong>, the world record holder in the 200 breast, swam a 58.94 in winning the 100 breast final over\u00a0Arno Kamminga\u00a0<\/strong>of the Netherlands, who broke his own Dutch record at 58.98. Chupkov lowered his own best time as he was eighth in the Worlds final at 59.19 earlier this year. Chupkov’s time put him eighth in the world this year as he seems to be improving his 100 speed. Kamminga right behind Chupkov broke 59 seconds for the first time as he was a 59.05 at the Budapest World Cup. Japan’s Yasuhiro Koseki\u00a0<\/strong>(59.23) finished third in the Kazan race.<\/p>\n
