Tonight's session will feature finals of the men's 50 fly, men's 100 back, women's 50 fly, men's 100 breast, women's 200 back, and mixed 4x100 medley relay.

The Asian Games are set to begin in September and China's impressive performances here in Fukuoka potentially foreshadow what's to come on their home turf.

33-year-old Ryosuke Irie of Japan will be missing from the men's 100m back final, his first absence at a World Championships since 2007.

Thomas Ceccon will face a tall task as he fends off the U.S. duo of Ryan Murphy and Hunter Armstrong in his pursuit of a title defense in the 100 back.

Olympic silver medalist Tomoru Honda put up an impressive in-season 200m fly result while competing at the Nihon University/Chuo University dual meet.

The final day of the 2023 Sette Colli Trophy will see freestyle phenom David Popovici of Romania try to top the 200m field.

Reigning Olympic champion Emma McKeon and defending world champion Mollie O'Callaghan are among a stacked group of competitors in the women's 100 freestyle.

World Record holder and reigning Olympic champion Zac Stubblety-Cook will contest his signature 200m breast on night five of the 2023 Auswsie World Trials.
