Not only that but the Singaporean also sliced a 3.39sec chunk from the Asian record of 15:41.80 held by <strong>Li Bingjie<\/strong> since the 2022 Chinese Championships. It was also her third distance crown of the tour following 800 victory at the opening leg in Baku. <strong>Caitlin Deans<\/strong> (15:48.38) and <strong>Chang Mohan<\/strong> (15:55.61) joined her on the podium.<\/p>\n<h3>Men&#8217;s 1500 Free Timed Final<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Lucas Henveaux<\/strong> clinched his second 1500 free and third distance crown of the tour with a seven-second winning margin in 14:33.14. <strong>Oliver Papai<\/strong> was second in 14:40.55 with <strong>Ilia Sibirtsev<\/strong> third in 14:43.97.<\/p>\n<h3>Women&#8217;s 400IM Fastest Heat<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Yu Yiting<\/strong> clinched the Triple Crown and USD 10,000 after setting up victory in the fly leg to finish in a Chinese record of 4:22.74 as she became the seventh-fastest performer all-time. <strong>Waka Kobori<\/strong> was 4.25secs behind in 4:26.99 with <strong>Abbie Wood<\/strong> third in 4:27.38.<\/p>\n<p>Yu&#8217;s time was just 0.01 off the Asian record of 4:22.73 held by <strong>Yui Ohashi<\/strong> since the 2018 World Cup.<\/p>\n<h3>Men&#8217;s 100 Free<\/h3>\n<p>The Triple Crown was one win away for <strong>Egor Kornev<\/strong> but it was <strong>Cam McEvoy<\/strong> who obliterated the start, reaching 25m in 9.83 and 50 in 21.15. The Australian was 0.55 ahead of the Russian at the final turn and came home in 45.11 to 45.23 with <strong>Sean Niewold<\/strong> of the Netherlands third in 46.72.<\/p>\n<h3>Women\u2019s 50 Fly<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Roos Vanotterdijk<\/strong> came into the race with the Triple Crown in her sights. The Belgian was second at the turn behind <strong>Aleksandra Kuznetsova<\/strong> but a superb turn and underwaters propelled her clear of the field. She took the sweep in 24.56, her third straight national record in the event, to go joint eighth performer all-time. <strong>Arina Surkova<\/strong> (24.99) and <strong>Daria Klepikova<\/strong> (25.08) made it two Russians on the podium.<\/p>\n<h3>Men\u2019s 50m Breaststroke<\/h3>\n<p>The first three men home were separated by just 0.10secs with <strong>Kirill Prigoda<\/strong> touching first in 25.77 after arriving in Astana with a silver and bronze in the two-length event. <strong>Qin Haiyang<\/strong> was short into the wall and finished in 25.83 with <strong>Caspar Corbeau<\/strong> third in 25.87.<\/p>\n<p>Prigoda\u2019s victory meant there were three different winners across the three World Cup stops.<\/p>\n<h3>Women\u2019s 200 Free<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Siobhan Haughey<\/strong> needed one more win for the Triple Crown with the Hong Kong swimmer focusing solely on the event after contending with injury. Swimming frm lane three, she led <strong>Marrit Steenbergen<\/strong> through 50m. The Netherlands swimmer moved ahead although Haughey reduced the deficit to 0.18 with 50 to go. Steenbergen extended the lead on the final 50 to come home in a European record of 1:50.23. Haughey posted 1:50.87 for second as her Triple Crown bid was busted with <strong>Anna Peplowski<\/strong> third in 1:52.36.<\/p>\n<p>Steenbergen\u2019s time &#8211; which lowered her own European standard of 1:50.33 from last year&#8217;s short-course Europeans &#8211; elevated her to second all-time behind <strong>Mollie O\u2019Callaghan<\/strong> and her top two times of 1:49.36 and 1:49.77 from the 2025 World Cup.<\/p>\n<h3>Men\u2019s 200 Fly<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Chen Juner<\/strong> led for all but five metres in his Triple Crown bid. He went out hard in the opening stages and found himself with a challenge on either side from <strong>So Ogata<\/strong> and <strong>Carson Foster<\/strong>. However, the Chinese athlete appeared to have the crown within his grasp only for So Ogata to rip it out of his hands with a flying final 25. The Japanese went 1:49.89 to Chen\u2019s 1:50.13 with Foster third in 1:50.98.<\/p>\n<h3>Women&#8217;s 100m Breaststroke<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Mona McSharry<\/strong> went to the head of the field on the second 25, where she stayed throughout to clinch the Triple Crown in 1:04.03, \u00a0just two tenths outside her 2025 Irish record of 1:03.84. <strong>Evgeniia Chikunova<\/strong> came through late for second in 1:04.76 with <strong>Tes Schouten<\/strong> third in 1:05.13.<\/p>\n<h3>Men\u2019s 100m Backstroke<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Pieter Coetze<\/strong> missed the WR by just 0.05 en-route to his second straight victory in Tashkent last week. The South African has been superb this year and his high stroke rate powered him through the race, finishing in 48.40 to clinch the Triple Crown. There was a little shake of the head as he touched 0.26 off <strong>Hubert Kos<\/strong>&#8216; WR of 48.16 although it was the fourth-fastest time in history with Coetze delivering two of the top four performances.<\/p>\n<p>Coetze&#8217;s winning margin of 0.89 over <strong>Pavel Samusenko<\/strong> (49.29) illustrates his dominance. <strong>Ralf Tribuntsov<\/strong> of Estonia was third in 49.88.<\/p>\n<h3>Women\u2019s 50m Backstroke<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Marrit Steenbergen<\/strong> returned from 200 free gold for the two-length event in the first of four attempts at a Triple Crown. The Netherlands swimmer came home in 25.67 ahead of Mariia Osetrova (26.19) and her teammate Tessa Giele (26.41).<\/p>\n<h3>Men\u2019s 200IM<\/h3>\n<p>The final race of the session turned out to be a humdinger. <strong>Finlay Knox<\/strong> led through the fly with <strong>Luke Barr<\/strong> ahead after the backstroke, followed by <strong>Shaine Casas<\/strong> and <strong>Alberto Razzetti.<\/strong> The trio retained their places after the breaststroke with Barr 0.12 ahead of fellow American Casas going into the free. Casas took a 0.05 lead at the final turn with the trio battling it out down the final 25. Casas won in 1:51.98 to take his second straight victory followed by Razzetti (1:5216) and Barr (1:52.37).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marrit Steenbergen continued her record-breaking golden bull run and Gan Ching Hwee lowered the Asian 1500 free record on the first day of the final World Cup stop in Astana,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7575,"featured_media":534210,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,10],"tags":[138555,35486,27536,135364,128853,124556,61119,132136,52048,77839,51270,128092,63468,131053,70345,61619],"class_list":["post-655357","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-world","tag-2026-world-cup","tag-abbie-wood","tag-cameron-mcevoy","tag-egor-kornev","tag-gan-ching-hwee","tag-hubert-kos","tag-li-bingjie","tag-lucas-henveaux","tag-marrit-steenbergen","tag-mollie-ocallaghan","tag-mona-mcsharry","tag-pieter-coetze","tag-qin-haiyang","tag-roos-vanotterdijk","tag-waka-kobori","tag-yui-ohashi"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Triple Crowns Within Reach On Final World Cup Stop<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Multiple Triple crowns are up for grabs as the opening finals session begins at the third World Cup stop in Astana, Kazakhstan.\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\r\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-cup-astana-day-1-finals-triple-crowns-within-reach-on-final-stop\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"World Cup Astana, Day 1 Finals: European &amp;
