Background

Switzerland’s Noè Ponti entered the event as the top seed and third-fastest performer in history, having set a personal best of 48.40 during the World Cup. The Netherlands’ Nyls Korstanje followed, having won silver behind Ponti at each of the World Cup stops and set a personal best of 48.99. South Africa’s Chad le Clos, the 2022 world champion and former world record holder, posted 49.50 in Singapore but placed fifth behind Singapore’s Teong Tzen Wei (49.37) and Australia’s Matthew Temple (49.49). France’s Maxime Grousset, the 2023 world long-course champion, entered with a 48.94 from the European Championships and was seeded third. Russian athletes Andrei Minakov (49.71) and Roman Shevliakov (49.81) were also in the top eight, competing as neutral athletes. Canada’s Ilya Kharun, the 2022 runner-up and Olympic bronze medallist, was seeded 16th with a long-course time of 50.45 but was expected to improve significantly. The USA’s Dare Rose, also entered with an LCM time, was another potential threat despite recent inconsistency. ^[3]

SwimSwam predicted Ponti would win, Kharun would take second, and Korstanje would take third. ^[3]
