Canadiam Olympic gold medalist <strong>Maggie Mac Neil<\/strong> ranks second all-time in the 100 fly at 55.59, just ahead of China&#8217;s <strong>Zhang Yufei<\/strong> (55.62), American world champ\u00a0<strong>Torri Huske<\/strong> (55.64) and Australia&#8217;s<strong> Emma McKeon<\/strong> (55.72). The world record of 55.48 that\u00a0<strong>Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong> set at the 2016 Olympics is not far off for these women, so <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-championships-preview-womens-butterfly-maggie-mac-neil-torri-huske-feature-in-olympic-final-rematch-predictions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this mark is certainly achievable when they face off in an anticipated showdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Men&#8217;s 200 Freestyle<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The suit-aided world record of 1:42.00 set by Germany&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Paul Biedermann<\/strong> at the 2009 World Championships was far out of reach for years, with no one breaking 1:44 for almost a decade. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/commentary-david-popovici-has-put-200-freestyle-world-record-on-endangered-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Not anymore<\/a>, not after Popovici dominated the event at the World Championships, winning with a time of 1:43.21, before following up his 100 free world record at the European Championships with a 1:42.97. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/flash-david-popovici-sets-200-free-textile-world-record-of-142-97-also-wjr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">He became only the third man after Biedermann and Phelps to break 1:43 in the event and the the fastest ever in a textile suit<\/a>. Popovici is already an established star, but he&#8217;s only 18, which suggests continued improvement. So if he can&#8217;t quite close the gap on Biedermann&#8217;s record in Fukuoka, he will have another opportunity next year in Paris.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Women&#8217;s 100 Backstroke<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>McKeown and <strong>Regan Smith<\/strong> have been nipping at this record ever since McKeown broke Smith&#8217;s previous record at the 2021 Australian Trials. So far this year, McKeown has a season-best time of 57.50, and Smith is just behind at 57.71. Their forthcoming showdowns in Fukuoka are some of the meet&#8217;s most hotly-anticipated, with McKeown&#8217;s new 200 back record and her older mark in the two-lap race both under serious pressure.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Men&#8217;s 1500 Freestyle<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sun Yang&#8217;s<\/strong> mile world record of 14:31.02 has lasted since 2012, and it has not come under threat often during that span. But at last year&#8217;s World Championships,\u00a0<strong>Gregorio Paltrinieri<\/strong> rebounded from barely qualifying for the final to win the race in dominant fashion while swimming under world-record pace until the final lap. That brought the record back into play, and then both\u00a0<strong>Florian Wellbrock<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Dan Wiffen<\/strong> swam 14:34s earlier this year to move to fourth and fifth all-time, respectively. The men ranked No. 6 and No. 7 in history,\u00a0<strong>Mykhailo Romanchuk<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Bobby Finke<\/strong>, will also be in the field, and Finke in particular has excelled at swimming up to the level of the field. So amid one of the most anticipated 1500 races in years, we must keep an eye on the world record.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Women&#8217;s 800 Freestyle<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_531631\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-531631\" data-attachment-id=\"531631\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-record-alert-which-standards-could-fall-in-fukuoka\/katie-ledecky-272\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/katie-ledecky-2023-US-Nats-4952-Enhanced-NR-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Peter H.
