Kaylee McKeown's winning time of 2:04.81 in the 200 back lowered her own World Cup standard from last weekend in Athens (2:06.02) by more than a second.

Swimmers will be vying for Triple Crowns in 7 of the events on Day 2 finals in Budapest. Matt Sates (pictured) is aiming for two: the 200 IM and 200 fly.

Kaylee McKeown has earned $40,000 in bonuses the past couple days by breaking a pair of world records and securing two triple crowns along the way.

It's the last session of the Athens World Cup, and Sarah Sjostrom (pictured) will take on the 100 butterfly/100 freestyle double.

Cody Simpson said he was "finding some flow" at the World Cup stop in Athens, hitting his fastest unshaved/rested 100 butterfly of his career so far.

Kaylee McKeown put a scare into the 50 backstroke world record on Friday, blazing a personal-best 27.02 — just .04 seconds off the Liu Xiang's world record.

Lani Pallister's winning time of 8:16.82 crushed the previous 800 free World Cup record of 8:22.24 set by fellow Australian Kiah Melverton in 2019.

McKeown was more than three seconds off her own world record (2:03.14), but her winning time still took down Emily Seebohm's World Cup record from 2015. 

Germany's Angelina Kohler swam the fastest time of the 100 FL heats, positioning her to upset favorites Zhang Yufei & Torri Huske on the last day in Berlin.

Day 2 of finals at the Berlin World Cup gives us a rematch between Sarah Sjostrom and Zhang Yufei (pictured), the Worlds 50 fly gold and silver medalists.
