Budapest 2024: No\u00e8 Ponti Focused On His Own Lane As He Brings 2024 To A Close<\/h4>\n

No\u00e8 Ponti <\/strong>will arrive in Budapest at the end of a year in which he secured two top-five finishes in Paris, set world and European s\/c records and started his military service in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

The Swiss athlete twice lowered the 50 fly s\/c world record during the World Cup, knocking 0.17 off his own mark at the final leg in Singapore in 21.50<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ponti now owns the four fastest times in history, all set during a whirlwind fortnight in October and November before he reported for duty with military service mandatory for Swiss men.<\/p>\n

Following him in the all-time rankings is Nyls Korstanje<\/strong>, with a Dutch record of 21.74 as he finished second behind Ponti in the 50 and 100 fly at each World Cup round, and Szebasztian Szabo<\/strong> and Nicholas Santos<\/strong>, who had jointly held the WR of 21.75.<\/p>\n

Korstanje and Szabo will join him at the short-course worlds but despite his place atop the world, Ponti remains modest, aware of how quickly sport can change.<\/p>\n

He told Swimming World:<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now I\u2019m the fastest butterflyer ever. For now – maybe not for long, but right now, yes. I am not the man for sure.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The 23-year-old also set a European 100 fly standard of 48.40 during the opening leg in Shanghai and finished second in the men\u2019s overall rankings<\/a> behind Leon Marchand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ponti describes Marchand as \u201cone of the best athletes \u2013 not just swimmer \u2013 in the world\u201d but he\u2019s focused on himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t really matter if I am going to swim against Leon or Kristof Milak<\/strong> or Thomas Ceccon<\/strong> or anyone else: it is up to me to swim my race.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I\u2019m aware they are there, they are aware that I\u2019m there.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

His record-breaking fortnight followed his second Olympic Games in Paris, three years after 100 fly bronze in Tokyo, where he missed the 100 podium<\/a> by one place and 0.10 behind Ilya Kharun<\/strong> and finished fifth in the 200<\/a>, matching the 1:54.14 Swiss record he\u2019d set in the semis.<\/p>\n

While he \u201cdid a great job\u201d in Paris, Ponti didn\u2019t accomplish what he wanted to.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m aware that I\u2019m worth more than a fourth and a fifth place. Sadly, I couldn\u2019t show it at the Olympics in Paris so hopefully it\u2019s going to be better in the next years.<\/p>\n

\u201cStill, I\u2019m happy I can race against some of the best swimmers ever and I\u2019m always confronting myself and them.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso to call them my friends many of them. It\u2019s a nice moment to swim \u2013 it\u2019s never going to be easy \u2013 neither for me nor for them.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ponti, who won three medals across the previous two editions at Melbourne 2022<\/strong> and Abu Dhabi 2021<\/strong>, \u00a0is the fastest seed into the 50 and 100 fly at the Duna Arena.<\/p>\n

In the absence of Marchand \u2013 who withdrew last week<\/a> citing exhaustion \u2013 he also heads the 100 and 200IM.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a tilt at the 50 free in which he set a national standard of 21.18 at last month\u2019s Swiss Championships<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There will be no 200 fly though with Ponti telling Swimming World last month<\/a> that he intended to take a long break from an event in which he struggles, physically and mentally.<\/p>\n
