Cracking seven week stint on the road. Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, six hours in LA, Brisbane, three days in Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore. Bit of ⛳️ in Thailand for a few days and then reintroduce myself to my wife. Thanks for reading. Great fun 🏏 🏉 🏊‍♂️

USA too good (WR) as Aus get a silver. Without Titmus, McKeown 50 back, Short’s crack at 800 and a bombed mixed 4x100 free relay heat, Aus will be pretty happy with the week.

One race to go. Eight golds apiece. Women’s 4x100m medley final. USA favourites. O’Callaghan in the water last.

Meg Harris an individual world champion!! Improves on her silver from Paris. Cracking swim in 50 free. Coaches are thrilled on pool deck. Aussies draw back level with USA on last night of competition.

A read on that insane 800 free final last night in Singapore. Pallister has slashed 10 seconds off her personal best in no time. McIntosh, Ledecky, Titmus, Boxall . and it's storylines galore. Likely to be the race of the LA2028 Olympics.

Lani Pallister has shaved 10 seconds off her personal best in the 800m freestyle this year. Can she do the unthinkable and down Katie Ledecky at a home Olympics?

One of the greatest races you will see. Lani Pallister (8:05.98) has beaten Summer McIntosh in the 800 freestyle to take a wonderful silver medal. Who saw that coming?! . Almost a five second PB. Ledecky too good but only wins by 0.36. Come LA, this race could be anything.

Disgrace. Red card every day of the week. So dangerous. You can see Lynagh brace as he knows it's coming. Will World Rugby stand behind their refs again this week? . In a situation like this (no matter who is playing) would have no qualms if refs hooked offending player at HT.

Hey @bentalintyre @newscomauHQ Charlie Hawke wasn’t even in the race. Very stiff to use his photo in your churn

No Sam Short for 4x200 final tonight but definitely in the mix to do 1500 heats tomorrow

Always a treat to chat to Ian Thorpe. Mollie O'Callaghan at a home Olympics? . Bring it on, Thorpe says. Knows a thing or two about it.

Mollie O’Callaghan already has 11 world championship gold medals - the same number as Ian Thorpe.

Another day, another relay. For heats of men's 4x200 free Aus have gone with Ed Sommerville, Charlie Hawke, Kai Taylor and Max Giuliani. Am told Sam Short is going to roll the arm over this morning and is still a chance of featuring tonight in a final provided Aus get in.

Yep. Ripper split from BC. Another 🥇 for Australia’s golden girls. MOC does the business and USA get done in another relay. Australia still on top of medal tally five days in three to go.

Lizzy Dekkers third at trials third at worlds in 200fly. Rare combo. She is stoked. More than McIntosh despite going 2:01. Wild.

10.44pm AEST if you can stay up for it. Chalmers at 9.32pm AEST in the 100 free final. Needs the swim of his life and a personal best to win. But if someone was swimming for your life, he and McKeown are my quinella.

Women's 4x200m free relay finals teams. Katie Ledecky 🇺🇸 set to anchor against the World champ Mollie O'Callaghan 🇦🇺. First time Ledecky anchors this relay since Tokyo 2020
