World Aquatics Championships Doha: Full Entry Lists Show Top Seeds in Each Event<\/strong><\/p>\n

One week out from the start of pool racing at the World Aquatics Championships in Doha, the international governing body for the sport has posted the entry lists for each race, showing the top-seeded swimmers for each event rather than just those entered in the meet. We already knew that with so many big names missing the meet as they prepare for the Tokyo Olympics, just nine out of 34 individual events would feature the gold medalists from last year’s Worlds in Fukuoka, Japan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 2023 title-winners entered include women\u2019s 50 freestyle and 50 butterfly star\u00a0Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong>, women\u2019s 50 and 100 breaststroke winner\u00a0Ruta Meilutyte<\/strong>, women\u2019s 200 IM winner\u00a0Kate Douglass<\/strong>, men\u2019s 50 freestyle gold medalist\u00a0Cameron McEvoy<\/strong>, men\u2019s 800 and 1500 free champion\u00a0Ahmed Hafnaoui<\/strong>\u00a0and men\u2019s 50 back titlist\u00a0Hunter Armstrong<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Great Britain’s Matt Richards<\/strong> is also in the meet, but he will only swim the 100 free and relays, not the 200 free in which he won last year’s world title. Another Brit,\u00a0Adam Peaty<\/strong>, is returning to the global stage for the first time since the Tokyo Olympics as he tries to position himself for a potential Olympic three-peat in the 100 breast, an accomplishment no men\u2019s swimmer aside from Michael Phelps<\/strong> has ever pulled off.<\/p>\n
