But seeing swimmers like Hosszu come up empty in two individual events, or <strong>Adam Peaty<\/strong> pipped to the wall in the 50 breaststroke, is a reminder of how far we are from quite understanding where everyone stands in terms of their fitness and racing strength.<\/p>\n<p>It was evident in the upsets to two of the <a href=\"https:\/\/isl.global\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">International Swimming League\u2019s<\/a> most bankable stars.

Just fine, thanks very much. Even with Peaty\u2019s upset, they are comfortably ahead after Day 1. As winners of both medley relays, they have control of the skins stroke choice and a few cards to play. (Not only winners, but they went 1-3 in the men\u2019s and 1-4 in the women\u2019s to bolster point totals.)<\/p>\n<p>Aqua Centurions, on the other hand, seem more affected by the absence of their Italian swimming spine, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/federica-pellegrini-announces-she-has-tested-positive-for-covid-19-on-the-eve-of-isl-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most obviously<\/a> <strong>Federica Pellegrini.<\/strong> They surged late to get into second place, thanks in large part to a strong men\u2019s contingent, with wins by <strong>Philip Heintz<\/strong> in the 200 IM and the 400 free relay to augment <strong>Szebasztian Szabo\u2019s<\/strong> early 100 fly victory.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of missing swimmers \u2026<\/p>\n<h4>Oh say, can DC<\/h4>\n<p>The Trident entered ISL Match 2 sans <strong>Natalie Coughlin,<\/strong> sans <strong>Siobhan Haughey,<\/strong> sans <strong>Katie Ledecky, <\/strong>sans<strong> Cody Miller<\/strong> and several Australians. It was fair to wonder what, if anything, they had left.<\/p>\n<p>Early on, they seemed not to miss much, highlighted by <strong>Amy Bilquist\u2019s<\/strong> upset win in the 200 back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just wanted to get out, make a statement for DC that we\u2019re here to play,\u201d a beaming Bilquist said on the broadcast. \u201c\u2026 I like to be a gameplayer. I think most of us are racers. It\u2019s really fun to come out here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DC\u2019s strength in back and breast, with big points from <strong>Jacob Pebley,<\/strong> Bilquist and 50 back winner <strong>Linnea Mack<\/strong> in the former. <strong>Bethany Galat<\/strong> took second in the women\u2019s 200 breast, the men finished second in the 400 free relay thanks to <strong>Zach Apple\u2019s<\/strong> 45.15 anchor split and they got a win via <strong>Zane Grothe\u2019s<\/strong> great comeback in the 400 free. But they finished Day 1 in fourth place, lacking the top-end talent to get wins and access the jackpot points.<\/p>\n<h4>New names to know<\/h4>\n<p>An unsung star for the Roar was <strong>Christian Diener,<\/strong> who won the 50 back and 200 back. In the later, he pulled away late from Pebley, the on-paper favorite, and teammate <strong>Luke Greenbank.<\/strong> It ended up a 1-3 finish with Greenback. In the 50 back, he went 1-2 with <strong>Guilherme Guido,<\/strong> the ninth-fastest time in history, to garner 26 points.<\/p>\n<p>The upset of Peaty was pulled by Iron\u2019s <strong>Emre Sakci,<\/strong> the Turkish swimmer delivering a 25.74, a top-10 time in history. The 400 free went to AC\u2019s <strong>Valentine Dumont,<\/strong> the 20-year-old Belgian negative-splitting to go 4:00.37. Canadian <strong>Bailey Andison<\/strong> jumped into the mix in the 200 IM for DC, finishing second between London\u2019s <strong>Sydney Pickrem<\/strong> and Iron\u2019s
