The women’s backstroke is set to be a scorcher come Tokyo should the Games go ahead in July.<\/p>\n
Toussaint – who went 59.85 last weekend in Geneva – will do battle with Australia’s Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> and Minna Atherton<\/strong> with Regan Smith, Olivia Smoliga<\/strong> and Kathleen Baker<\/strong> fighting it out for the two spots on the US team.<\/p>\n

So too will world champion Kylie Masse<\/strong> – among the six Canadians pre-selected<\/a> – and 2018 Asian Games champion Natsumi Sakai<\/strong> await.<\/p>\n

Triple Crown For Kamminga<\/h3>\n
Kamminga had gone 59.51 in the morning heats and he lowered that further in the final, splitting 28.08\/31.09.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old – coached by Mark Faber<\/strong> at the National Training Centre Amsterdam<\/strong> – had a winning margin of 6.46secs over Xander Hebb, who was second in 1:05.63 in a final that featured just four men.<\/p>\n

It wrapped up a successful meet for Kamminga after his winning efforts on Saturday where he took the 200br in 2:08.84 and followed that up with the 50 title in 27.63.<\/p>\n
The three-time European short-course champion is the third-fastest man in history, his time of 58.43 from last year’s Antwerp Diamond Race<\/strong> eclipsed only by Adam Peaty<\/strong> and his world record of 56.88 and Ilya Shymanovich<\/strong> (58.29).<\/p>\n
Shoma Sato<\/strong> leapfrogged Kamminga to become the fourth-fastest man all-time over 200m<\/a> at the Kosuke Kitajima Cup<\/strong> on Sunday, his time of 2:06.83 cutting 0.02 from the Dutchman’s time of 2:06.83 at the Rotterdam Qualification Meet in December.<\/p>\n
As noted by colleague Andy Ross, all five members of the 2:06 club are active now, hinting at a battle royale to come in Tokyo.<\/p>\n
Heemskerk At The Double<\/h3>\nHeemskerk had won the 100 free<\/a> in a speedy 53.76 on Saturday and she was the fastest qualifier for the 200fr final by almost three seconds on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old was more than a second ahead at the first 50 and was never threatened as she stopped the clock at 1:59.05, the only sub-2min in the field.<\/p>\n
Splits<\/em>: 27.05\/29.74\/30.84\/31.42<\/p>\n
Marrit Steenbergen<\/strong> (2:01.83) and Lotte Goris<\/strong> (2:02.88) were second and third respectively.<\/p>\n
