I may be biased as an irishman but I really enjoyed the mens' 800/1500, I think the battle between Finke, Wiffen, Hafnaoui, and Paltrinieri will be a premier event at the Olympics this summer. Daniel's been on a tear lately, breaking Grant Hackett's SCM 800 record that stood since 2001. Winning by the margin he did in the 1500 at worlds was exciting to watch.

American here , I loved the long distance swimming, Erica fairweather, Wiffen , Simona Quadarella, Gose,Danys Rapsus, and the OWS 4x1500m so much fun stuff to watch

Peaty took some time off, just happy to see him back and enjoying racing. Hopefully will be back at his best for Paris. 100 Free will be a marquee race.

9 years ago when Ning Zetao first won the 100 free world champ for us. We always thought the sprint events are impossible for Asians. Now we have Pan Zhanle breaking the WR. It's been a long way. (A great Chinese New Year gift by the way). The truth is 1. Pan himself predicted that. He's not coming out of nowhere. He's prepared. 2. This by no means a guaranteed success. Anything is possible for the Olympics. 3. I really hope we can win the men's medley relay in Paris. China really got a shot by now. We got 3 world champs & 2 WR holders. It's a pitty we don't have a butterflyer (Also Xu Jiayu has passed his prime. He has some off-pool affairs as well. I don't know how well he can get)

Portuguese here. Really enjoyed the men's 800m/1500m, the 800m started with 2 guys (who end up 2nd and 3rd) in a battling to see who goes out faster, then closing up, Wiffen comes flying, and Paltrinieri loses the silver by 0.03, which was pretty impressive to see. The 1500m were also nice to see because Wiffen just put up an amazing performance and ending up making the 5th best time ever in the world. And I might be biased but Diogo Ribeiro starting the 50m butterfly final in the worst manner possible and still winning, beating guys like McEvoy and Michael Andrew, and then also winning the 100m butterfly, was also something big, not just for Portugal but for the swimming world, as he is only 19. I was surprised with the best men's award tho, I think Pan winning 5 gold medals and breaking a WR at this time of the year is just crazy and he should've won

I really enjoyed the distance swimming actually! The 800 & 1500 men were fun to watch, and to see Wiffen win both races 😊

Our Diogo was a huge surprise and a pride for us!!!

The men 4x200 freestyle relay was nuts! The best for you on the Olympic Trials! Greetings from Mexico.❤

Agree with you on most things. Claire Curzan deserved a shoutout though. She swam quite well.

Watched the worlds. I love the distance events for the mental discipline. Looking forward to Olympics.

I disagree with you about the distance events. Wiffen was 3 seconds off the 1500 wr. Throughout the whole race he was hovering between being .3 off wr pace and .9. Up until the last 50 it looked like the wr could've been broken. This meet got Wiffens name out their more. Now we see that he has a chance to compete with Finke and Hafnoui to win gold in one of those events or even both.

Glad I had notifications on🎉

I love your content so much you got me back into swimming

Could you do a video about your recovery routine and the exercises that you do? I think it could be a really interesting video

Today I was wondering what happened with Cody's vlogs... thank god I have a new video out now🙏🏻🙏🏻

Gotta say it was pretty awesome seeing a fellow kiwi Erika Fairweathwer winning New Zealand’s first ever gold in the women’s 400 free. Sure, the times might not have been as competitive than previous international comps for the podium without Ledecky and McIntosh, but it’s been an insane and hopeful campaign for the future of little ol’ Swimming NZ. Most successful World’s campaign to date! 🇳🇿🥝

Maybe because I’m Italian, But I don’t think it’s because of that, I love the 1500m and 800m, and I loved the races. The head to head by Simona Quadarella and the Goose was so damn exciting. I loved the 50s by Sarah too. I just think that loving swimming is loving it.

Some interesting wins...what about Finlay Knox winning the 200im?

Spanish swimmer here jajaja. No big surprise that my fav event was 100 and 200 backstroke... Hugo is just a future olympic medalist... Amazing races and the first spanish men to win a gold in a while... Also i totally agree with the races that cody stated... Sarah just went pass her competition and phang was just a missile man ajjajaja... Hope they fly as well at paris

Swede here! Watched all the weekend but had a tougher time catching the weekdays because of work and what not. Primary watched the events with Swedes in them but also some extra each session because my masters team mate is officiating. He had the Swedish record for 1500 a long time.

I watched every session of the Doha WCs (and since I’m not American, I won’t be watching the ongoing SEC/ACC meets, or the NCAA championships next month; I just don’t care about any of those results). While some of the races felt a bit slower than the past couple of WCs, most of the 50s were very respectable. For example, it was nice to see a sub-24 podium in the women’s 50 free (the last time it happened was in 2017). Overall, the men’s 50 breast podium was also faster than the last couple of years. Top 5 swims: 1. Pan Zhanle (100 free WR, obviously) 2. Kate Douglass (200 IM; the fastest winning time at a WC since prime Hosszu) 3. Sarah Sjostrom (50 fly; nice to see her get somewhat close to her legendary 24.43 again) 4. Marrit Steenbergen (100 free; it was only .10 slower than the winning time from 2023, and it makes her a legitimate gold medal contender for Paris) 5. Tess Schouten (200 breaststroke; she joins the mix of gold medal contenders for Paris, especially if Chikunova can’t participate) I feel like Claire Curzan, despite being the “best female” of the meet, wasn’t *that* impressive. None of her backstroke times would have won last year (her 200 back time would’ve gotten bronze), and her fly time (56.6) is still .4 slower than her PB from 2021. I have a hard time seeing her make the Olympic team this year, so I suppose it’s good that she took advantage of a weakened field to win some medals and cash.

Cody wanna ask you if i wanna swim more fast than i do freestyle i went to gym 4times a week i swim 5times a week can you give me some advice should i swim long time like 2h or 1h.45 like i do or i should swim less ?

Great Video! I see your sadness which you are trying to hide, it's so tough to see elite athletes from other sports becoming so financially sound just off the sport while the ones from other sports like swimming have to word so much harder for that.

See you in Chicago Cody 🔥 Can’t wait to race you.

I agree with your thoughts on the stroke-50s. The Anthony Ervin story from Rio is what dreams are made of.

I went to it!!..saw cam doing the 50free semis...and sarah doumg the 50 FLY!!!

Distance swimming all the way. Much more training/work involved. The strategy used in the race is fascinating. The stroke 50's? A horse race. Someone wins the 50 for decades? Yawn. One woman has longer finger nails and she wins the race (b/c everyone in the heat was w/in 4 hundredths of each other). Ledecky dominating so long? Spectacular. Ashley Twichell, always underrated, being the oldest person to make a first Olympic team - in the open water event? OMG. She did her best time in the 1500 when she was over THIRTY years old (and she was no slouch before that). Had a baby and made the National Team this year. It's the grind and discipline it takes to be that tough physically and mentally for so long that will always win for me.

This year i took a course to get a certification to be a swim coach in my Country and in this course we also talked about why the 50s aren‘t in the olympics and it‘s because each Sport has a Maximum amount of medals they can give out and swimming has so many events that the IOC doesn‘t allow it even though they always try to argue how it‘s necessary that we also have these events. That why in other Sports different weight categories get combined which is also Not fun for them… 😢

I watch them 😊

Kinda surprised by the picks, there's quite a few swimmers who announced themselves in Doha and may contend for medals at the Olympics that I feel like deserve a bit more credit. Tang in the 1breast, schouton in the 2breast, kohler in the 1fly, steenbergen in the 1free, williamson in the 50 breast, Dong in the 2breast, Woomin in the 4free, Wiffen in distance free, and of course Pan and the WR in the 1free.

4x200 men's freestyle relay was amazing to watch and really fast

Clare Curzan back sweep

Yeah Max!! LFG!,

I'd love to see 50s stroke added (and 200m relays). I feel like they haven't, because the other olympic sports say there's already too many swimming events. Like you'd never have a Phelps-like, 8 medal year for a track and field athlete, because they don't have strokes. Maybe that's part of the obstacle of adding more swim events?

Wiffen is the goat how can u not be interested :(

The most impressive Performance was by far imo Daniel Wiffen’s 1500. He was decently close to the world record, a world record that many think will never be broken

Hey Cody why was the Worlds in a Olympic year

Considering that Wiffen had a horrible taper before the Budapest meet and finished around 6th in the 800, things changed. He did some serious video taping of his entry/flip/exit of his flip turns and said he could knock 3-4 secs off his time.Added to that his high altitude training, it has changed his swims.Living here in Ca and have swam the 800/1500( 1000/1650 yards, Wiffen needs some respect and props for a great swim that hopefully will improve at Paris-Gold for Ireland would be great. Maybe his new ride(Benz) gives him a good vibe/focus while heading off to the pool.Ride that stroke /ride that car….

I think the reason they added the womens 1500 and the mens 800 is because of the gender imbalance, an implication that a 1500 was too long for women? The alternative was to keep one of those distance events for both men and women, but just have it be the same one.

Adam Peaty is a cautionary tale about working too hard (and burning out while still trying to compete.)

Quick question is Cody swimming in 25m pool(in the vlogs)?

Um you must have missed KD and her insane versatility!

I haven't followed in a while and was if you've got the boys in. the pool yet!

Have you seen the distance male races??? They were almost all there (a part from a few exceptions). Paltrinieri not making the final?? It was pretty great to watch!! Also, not really fan of your comments on the Championships because it was a really great Championships and Athletes that can be ready in February, June, and July should be recognized and applauded! I feel like you depreciate the work of the Swimmers that went there... Not mentioning that it was great for the Swimming to have such a big championships in February. 100% with you regarding the 50s at the Olympics!!! About Adam Peaty, he comes from really far and he was really happy about the results and what's next! It's part of his come back and that's a huge step forward from a year ago!! Clearly he's not at his best, but he's on his way and that's sooo encouraging! Hopefully he'll be ready by July!!

sprints are always more exciting. Same as track and field. Here is the and go as fast as you f-in can and there is only one winner!!! no judging...no opinion..the faster person wins!!!!

Hmmm I didn't follow the World Champs much except by headline as I knew some of the big swimmers I like to watch weren't there, with their Olympics training program precluding them. Although you were a little disappointed with Peaty's result, perhaps entering and competing was serving a different purpose - not out to break records/be the best but to just rehearse being on the world stage again, maybe even under-tapered intentionally?? Just a thought. But as I get older I totally agree on the 50m events, it is fun to watch swimmers - older swimmers - competing and winning at the highest level.

I watched!

Totally agree about the 50s. They are exciting, fun to watch, and SHOULD be in the Olympics

Cody, are you going the tyr pro series in San Antonio? I want to watch your 200 breastroke there.

i did watch :)

Do you think there’s time for Adam Peaty to get it together to swim well at the Olympics. Can’t help but root for him!

Finlay Knox kicked ass in 200 IM Dan Wiffen kicked serious ass in 800/15]0

I agree with you on the female distance events but that 800 free, as Max said, was so exciting to watch!! Well I say this as an Italian 😜

Yes, on adding 50's! As a spectator 50's are way more fun and exciting to watch. I think it would draw more views from non swimmers.

I love the 400 IM

Biased sprinter 😂

Aussie take, our relative over the ditch winning the first NZL medal at a world champs was sick. Even our B team did ok. The men’s 4x100 is going to be insane this year. 5 countries could win it. US, Italy, Aus, china, France.

if to choose between 50 and 800/1500,

Hafnaoui is a huge question mark now

Yo I’m a big fan of your videos, I am a Backstroker and I’m trying to get better in my breaststroke, if you have any tips please let me know, although you might never see this, have a good day

Hard words on Peaty... didn`t understand that.

I watched!! Too many top athletes were not there. Was really impressed with Claire Curzan!! I know you don’t like long distance-the other woman are catching up to Katie Ledecky. She is going to have some competition this summer.

At 1500 I was more impressed by the battle and tactics between swimers for the 2-nd place that Wellbrock took. Think guys were just warming up for Olympics.

I enjoyed worlds

Peaty went 58.6 in the semi-final.

Diogo Ribeiro should been talked about, 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

Caeleb has been 46,91

Not the voice crack

What do you think about Owen Lloyd's disqualification for celebration at the end of his 1650 M swim win? You want excitement, here is someone who has swum a mile, gets a little excited, and celebrates with a teammate who had finished their race, but gets DQed when it had no impact on other swimmers or the outcome of the race. Whatever happed to the adage that the benefit of the doubt goes to the swimmer?

Ahmed Hafnaoui. Are he and El-Kammash paying the price for turning their backs on Ray Looze and IU?

100m Free WR from Pan, is of course my highlight🙌🏼

🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐Portuguese butterfly 50 and 100 gold medal

🖐️ How can we Europeans watch the Cody Miller show?

I watched it. I like men 200x4 free relay and women 50 free. Kate Douglas’s US record is amazing. It’s hard to believe she can do both free and breast so well.

Caro Cody, desta vez escrevo-te este comentário em português. É absolutamente incompreensível que não tenhas mencionado os 2 títulos de campeão do mundo do Diogo Ribeiro. Em primeiro lugar por ter sido um feito extraordinário para o Diogo e em segundo por ter sido um marco histórico para Portugal por terem sido os primeiros títulos mundiais na Natação para o nosso país. Preferiste, optaste por falar de um monte de banalidades. Pena. Esperava mais de ti deste teu video. 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

Sorry Cody The way you feel about distance is the way I feel about 50’s (any). Just not interested. 100’s are the shortest real event:)

For me it just didn’t seem like the usual World Champs vibe. I assume that’s because almost all of the world’s best are preparing for the olympics. It almost felt like a long & upgrade World Cup leg 🤷🏻‍♂️

I watched a lot of the WCs. Living in Stockholm we’re lucky because Swedish public TV covered all sessions, with Lars Frölander as part of the commentary team. Totally agree with you about adding the 50s stroke at the Olympics, for the reasons you cited. Sjöström’s performances were fantastic, and the women’s 50 free in general was red hot with 3 racers going under 24s, (has that ever happened before?) including Kate Douglass setting a new American record. 🎉

Your take on distance is idiotic. Wiffen had great swims.The 50s are too short. Under 30 seconds of viewing. Kate Douglass has some terrific swims.

Women’s 400 IM

Watched it with my 9yrs old daughter (swimmer). Totally totally agree about Peaty, not sure if it is more mental than physical. Disagree on long distance event (I am a triathlete, so I enjoy watching the timing of the stroke in those events). Agree on the 100free 🔥. Happy for Curzan, too

Wiffen

FIRST

China is what happened. 🇨🇳 💪❤️

Completely disagree with his comment on Peaty. The guys been out a long time just like dressel and to pop out a 58 in the semi unrested in February says good signs . Cody miller needs to just learn to look at the bigger picture and no run his mouth off when he’s going 1.01 on the 100 breast and 2.16 in his meets. Give the guy a break

Diogo Ribeiro 💣💣

Talking shite about Peaty, fastest he’s been in a long time, you don’t know what the guy has been through or the Prep he’s had going in or even if he’s fully rested at the meet. The main focus will be the games and who gives a shit if he goes 59, the guy is enjoying what he’s doing.

Doha 2024 maybe a such boring championships i've ever watched because most of the stars were not in the game.

Lol Cody’s been butchering Sara Sjostrom’s name for years now and it keeps changing. It’s SHOW-strom. Pretty simple actually.

IMO 50's are boring. Prefer to see some strategy and lead changes rather than a line of splash across the screen and you need to watch the replay to see who won

Cody Miller, have you read about Cody Miller the wrestler? He's 143 - 0

Um................... 100 m Free world record !!!!!!!! Go China! BEST SWIM. Nope, 50's stroke are a circus show joke.

✋
