There will be no rest for Australia\u2019s latest world record holder Minna Atherton<\/strong> when she lines up against a backstroking \u201cwho\u2019s who\u201d in this weekend\u2019s all-important ISL round in London.<\/p>\n

While the match between unbeaten European group leaders the London Roar, Energy Standard, Iron and Aqua Centurions will determine the top two teams for the Christmas week finale in Las Vegas it is the rise of Atherton that has captured the imagination since Budapest.<\/p>\n

All eyes will be on the 19-year-old Queenslander from the London Roar who set an astonishing short course world mark of 54.89 in the 100m backstroke in Budapest \u2013 lowering Hungary\u2019s Iron Lady Katinka Hosszu\u2019s<\/strong> colours.<\/p>\n

And it will certainly swing some of the attention away from the other major events \u2013 hometown hero Adam Peaty<\/strong> (Roar) in the men\u2019s breaststroke and the Campbell sisters Cate <\/strong>and Bronte <\/strong>and Emma McKeon <\/strong>(Roar), Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong> (Energy Standard) and Dutch pair Ranomi Kromowidjodjo<\/strong> (Iron) and Femke Heemskerk<\/strong> (Energy Standard) in the women\u2019s freestyle and butterfly.<\/p>\n

The three women\u2019s backstroke events will potentially feature six of the top ten short course backstrokers of all time \u2013 including Minna\u2019s fellow Australian but ISL archrival Emily Seebohm<\/strong> who will line up in the Energy Standard team and Roar team mate Holly Barratt.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Throw in Hosszu (Iron), the Netherlands Kira Toussaint<\/strong> (Iron) and Denmark\u2019s Mie Nielsen<\/strong> (Iron) and all three world records over 50, 100 and 200m could well be under siege.<\/p>\n

Roar will be without several members of their Australian contingent \u2013 in particular team captain Kyle Chalmers<\/strong> as well as breaststrokers Matt Wilson<\/strong> and Jess Hansen<\/strong> and Gold Coast freestylers Elijah Winnington<\/strong> and Cam McEvoy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But enter British pair, Commonwealth Games gold medallists \u2013 the versatile duo of Dunc Scott<\/strong> and Siobhan-Marie O\u2019Connor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chalmers, who scored a combined 72 in the first two matches, including a win in the all-important skins event in Budapest, has been one of the Roar\u2019s top performers so far.<\/p>\n

However, Chalmers\u2019 absence in London will open the door for Scott to jump in and make an impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe guy (Kyle) is a machine so I think that is a tough ask,\u201d joked Scott.<\/p>\n

But, the man who upset Chalmers to win the 100m freestyle gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast, is open to swim whatever he\u2019s asked, including the Skins \u2013 the three-round 50 freestyle eliminator that can score up to triple points \u2013 and is sure to feature the big two Russian Vladimir Morozov<\/strong> (Iron) and flying Frenchman Florent Manaudou<\/strong> (Energy Standard).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe skins events have been a great spectacle,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m not bothered by what I\u2019m racing, whatever role I have I\u2019ll take it and be grateful to be a part of the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside of freestyle, where he was the 200m freestyle World Championship bronze medallist, Scott can swim a wide range of events, including individual medley and butterfly.<\/p>\n

In terms of who Scott is looking forward to facing off with in London, it\u2019s the athletes he\u2019s usually competing alongside with who get him the most excited.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019ll be a good opportunity to race some of the British guys that are in other ISL teams that I\u2019m usually teammates with.\u201d<\/p>\n

O\u2019Connor, the dual Olympian and silver medallist to Hosszu is one of the world\u2019s finest IMers and is also a class breaststroker.<\/p>\n

Roar boss Rob Woodhouse<\/strong> says this weekend\u2019s round \u201cshould be an interesting one to decide the ISL European champion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur main priority is to ensure qualification for the final in Vegas so we will focus on that,\u201d said Woodhouse.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we will definitely be looking to win the match against what will be some pretty tough competition.\u00a0 The addition of Duncan Scott and Siobhan-Marie O\u2019Connor coming into the team this weekend will help us, though we are a little weaker on the men\u2019s side with a number of big names missing including Kyle Chalmers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Woodhouse said the ISL so far has been great.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe swimmers absolutely love the team concept and the production of the event is unprecedented for the sport which makes it such a great spectacle,\u201d said the two-time Olympian ands respected international sports manager and commentator.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fans are loving it also.\u00a0 The potential is there to establish the ISL as a commercially successful league, but there\u2019s still a lot of hard work to be done to get to this.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the future in Australia?<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s unlikely there will be an Australian team in the ISL, I have heard some discussion about potentially hosting a match Down Under,\u201d said Woodhouse.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom a London Roar perspective we\u2019d love to host a match in Australia given the strong Aussie contingent on the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

And word from inside the ISL is that organisers are potentially looking at an Australian venue for the 2020 ISL Grand Final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
