Energy Standard will be without IM and distance free specialist\u00a0Max Litchfield\u00a0<\/strong>on Sunday and Monday in their second meet of the ISL season as Litchfield announced he will be staying in his hotel room in Budapest because of a “bug going around the (ISL) bubble.”<\/p>\n

The ISL bubble was created to isolate the professional swimmers from the COVID-19 pandemic so they can focus on racing and training in one spot for a six-week period. There have been no confirmed cases of coronavirus in the ISL bubble but Litchfield’s Instagram post lets us believe he is just dealing with a minor illness and should be ready to go for Energy Standard’s third meet November 5 – 6.<\/p>\n

Energy Standard will be racing Sunday and Monday against the Toronto Titans, Aqua Centurions and New York Breakers.<\/a> The team will notably be without reigning league MVP Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong><\/a>, who will be nursing some back issues.<\/p>\n

Max Litchfield this season is ranked third in the 400 IM, 9th in the 400 free and 16th in the 200 IM.<\/p>\n
