2025 men's swimming rankings going into Toyota U.S. Championships
The new Olympic quad could usher in a new era for U.S. men's swimming.
Bobby Finke is the lone individual Olympic men's gold medalist entered so far in next week's Toyota U.S. Championships, the meet that determines the team for the World Championships in July and August in Singapore.
Three other Olympic champions — Caeleb Dressel, Chase Kalisz and Ryan Murphy — were not on the initial entry list.
Dressel has raced in one meet since Paris and Kalisz strictly in November 2024 trials, according to USA Swimming's database. Murphy said he is taking a break from competition in 2025 with an eye on coming back later in the quad for a 2028 Olympic bid.
At nationals, the top two finishers per event — plus up to the top six in the 100m and 200m freestyles for relay purposes — make the team for worlds, should they meet a minimum qualifying time and the total roster not exceed 26 swimmers per gender.
Shaine Casas, who placed ninth in the 200m individual medley in his Olympic debut in Paris, goes into nationals with the country's best time in 2025 in the 50m and 100m backstroke and 50m and 100m butterfly, plus the 200m IM.
Nick Zaccardi,
The last time somebody won five events at one spring or summer nationals was at the 2008 Olympic Trials (Michael Phelps and Katie Hoff). Granted, the 50m backstroke and 50m butterfly, two events that debut at the Olympics in 2028, haven't always been held at national meets.
Carson Foster, the Olympic 400m IM bronze medalist, has the top U.S. time in 2025 in the 400m IM, plus in the 200m and 400m freestyles.
Then there's Finke, a three-time Olympic gold medalist in the distance freestyles who again tops the seeds in the 800m and 1500m.

Henry leads GB gold rush at European Championships
Lauren Henry won gold in the women's quadruple sculls at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris [BBC] Great Britain surged to the top of the medal standings with five gold medals on the final day of the European Rowing Championships in Bulgaria. Lauren Henry, a reigning Olympic champion in the women's quadruple sculls, won gold in her first senior international regatta in the single sculls. Advertisement And a new-look GB crew continued their domination in the women's quadruple sculls, without Henry in the boat, as they defended their European title in Plovdiv. Britain also claimed a first ever men's quadruple sculls gold, while both the men's and women's boats won gold in the eights to take GB's total medal tally for the regatta to six gold, a silver and two bronze medals. Germany were second in the medal standings with five golds and one silver. "It's very, very special," said Henry, 23, after following up her British record time in the heats with victory in Sunday's final. Advertisement "I wanted to come here and make a mark and make a name for myself and I feel like I've done that. "I want to be world champion, I want to be Olympic champion, I want to break the world best time, I want to be the most successful British single sculler ever. That's my aim. I've still got many years to go but watch this space." Sunday's gold rush followed four medals for the British team on Saturday. Paralympic champion Benjamin Pritchard won the PR1 men's single sculls in a new world-record time of eight minutes 40.38 seconds, while Sam Murray and Annie Caddick claimed silver in the PR3 mixed double. Advertisement There were also bronze medals for GB in the women's four, and Eleanor Brinkhoff and Megan Slabbert in the women's pair.

Tom Daley looks back: ‘My management said if I came out, I'd lose sponsorship'
Interactive Born in Plymouth in 1994, Tom Daley is Britain's most decorated diver. He was 13 when he made history as Britain's youngest competitor at the 2008 Olympics, and the following year became a world champion. He won gold at the Tokyo Olympics with his synchronised diving partner, Matty Lee, before retiring from diving in 2024. He is married to the screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, with whom he has two sons. The documentary, Tom Daley: 1.6 Seconds, is available to stream on Discovery+ from 1 June. Advertisement I used to be obsessed with wearing tea towels. I'd make sure the fabric was completely lined-up and tucked in neatly. If it was in the slightest bit ruffled or messy, I would get upset and rip it off and try it all over again. This was the beginning of my perfectionism – and possibly the first signs that I might not be 100% straight. My mum says that as a kid, I was very sweet but I knew what I wanted. What did I want? To do the best I could at anything that I tried. That is still my mentality today. If I'm going to try something and it doesn't work out perfectly, I don't have tantrums any more, but I do get frustrated. That's the thing about being an athlete: being good is not enough – you have to be the best. It's not something you can teach, but every athlete who gets to an Olympic level has that same drive. We know our flaws before anybody else can point them out. I was seven when I started diving. I loved the water but found swimming up and down a little bit boring – diving was much more fun. I started out jumping off the side of the pool, then tried the one-metre. The first time I tried the 10-metre platform I was eight years old. I remember crawling to the edge because I was too scared to walk – the board seemed to reduce in size with every step and suddenly looked like a tightrope. I was peering off into the water, thinking: 'There's no way I can jump off this.' But once I was in the air, there was no going back. It was a surreal and euphoric moment – freefalling for 1.6 seconds. As soon as it was over, I knew I wanted to do it again. My childhood was brilliant. I was always outdoors, and we used to go for weekends away in our caravan in Newquay. I felt very safe, loved and cared for. Because I was so happy with my family, I used to hate travelling for competitions – I would get so homesick. It was terrifying to be on the other side of the planet from your parents when you're 10 years old – especially when everyone else competing was much older. I can't imagine how painful it was for my parents to hear their son crying on the end of the phone. Advertisement Related: Jeff Goldblum looks back: 'My brother was an interesting dude. When he died it was terrible, monumental' My dad Rob was my biggest cheerleader. He would work all day, pick me up from school, take me to the pool and stay all evening until I finished training. He would be there for every competition. We were a team, and it was our dream together. He was great at teaching me about perspective: if I bombed out at a competition, he would say: 'You came 30th, but you're still the 30th best in the world.' When dad died [of a brain tumour in 2011], I went to training the next morning. I carried on competing without a proper break. Maybe it's a British thing, but me and my family wouldn't speak about his passing that much. It's as if we didn't want to upset anyone, or make them feel uncomfortable. I also felt that I had to be the strong one – the person who could support my family. It was only when I met my husband Lance, and he would ask why I didn't speak about my dad, that I allowed myself the space to grieve. And it still hits me now, especially when those major milestones happen. He missed me winning my first Olympic medal, my wedding, my first son's birth. Lance and I met at a dinner in 2013. We talked and talked until we both realised how similar our lives were. He had just lost his brother; I'd lost my dad. He had just won his Oscar; I had just won an Olympic medal. It was the first time I could complain about success to somebody who knew I wasn't really complaining about success. I was complaining about how to deal with what happens on the other side – the pressure and expectations. Knowing that nothing would ever compare to that feeling again. Advertisement I met Lance in March and came out to the media nine months later. I don't think I would ever have said anything about my private life unless I had met someone like Lance. Once we fell in love, I knew I couldn't keep it a secret. It was absolutely terrifying, posting the video on YouTube, because my management at the time had not been encouraging, and told me that I was going to lose my sponsorship. It was a scary thing to do, but once it was out there I was glad. It took all of the pressure off. I could be me for the first time. In 2024, I competed at the Paris Olympics, this time with my sons in tow. Being a dad was still my priority, so I had to deal with running on low sleep. I went to bed at 8 o'clock, because I didn't know how many times I'd be up in the night. I'd wake early for training but would make sure I was home to help Lance with bedtime. I always found it incredibly difficult to leave them for competitions, and I carried a sense of guilt with me. My husband is so supportive, and he's sacrificed a lot for me. But now I've retired, it's his moment. He's like: 'It's my turn to get my career back on track!' I have been an athlete for most of my life, so it's taking time to adjust to my new reality. I am so used to being disciplined that even if I'm out for dinner on a Saturday night, and someone asks if I'd like a glass of wine, it takes me a second to realise I am actually allowed to. Food is the same. When I was about to go to the 2012 Olympics, I was told by a coach that I needed to lose weight. After that, I had some issues with eating disorders. At the time it was something that men didn't really speak about, so I kept it to myself and felt very alone. Once I was able to get the proper nutritional support and learned more about what my body needed, and how to fuel it, then my recovery started to unfold. But in truth, that feedback still affects me today. I know how I can look, and how I did feel, at my peak. Now that I'm not training six hours a day, six days a week, I am never going to be in that same form. When I look at this photo, I think about how innocent I look. The boy in the photo has no sense of what society thinks is right or wrong. I could live and be happy and free. I am so glad my parents were the kind of people who celebrated whoever I was; an Olympian diver or a boy who liked to wear tea towels around his waist.

Jordan Chiles And Ana Barbosu Overcome Olympic Scandal To Shine In 2025
30 May 2025, Saxony, Leipzig: Gymnastics: European Championships, decision: uneven bars, women. Ana ... More Barbosu (Romania) reacts. Photo: Marijan Murat/dpa (Photo by Marijan Murat/picture alliance via Getty Images) Gymnasts Ana Barbosu (ROM) and Jordan Chiles (USA) became internationally recognized names in August 2024. In the final gymnastics event of the Paris Olympics, Barbosu and Chiles became embroiled in a tumultuous feud over the bronze medal. After initially awarding the bronze medal to Chiles, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) stripped the American of her Olympic medal, instead awarding the bronze to Romania's Barbosu. In a matter of days, Chiles went from triumph to despair, and Barbosu underwent the reverse. Currently, both athletes possess their bronze medals, but only Barbosu's is officially recognized by the Olympic governing body. Chiles' legal team is actively suing to have her medal formally reinstated. In short, the situation remains unresolved, with both athletes enduring immense mental hardship while caught in the crossfire. "I have no words," Chiles said of the result in late August, describing the decision as 'unjust' and a 'significant blow' to herself and her supporters. Chiles also faced a barrage of hate and harassment from fans, an element 'adding to the heartbreak.' Despite holding conflicting interests with her competitor, Barbosu deeply empathized with Chiles' pain. She also endured her own. 'It was a very tough time,' Barbosu said of the period following the Olympics, telling the media that she was 'heartbroken' during the fallout. Though both dealt with a share of struggles, the two have already channeled their heartbreak into triumphant performances in 2025. FORT WORTH, TEXAS - APRIL 19: Jordan Chiles of the UCLA Bruins competes in floor exercise during the ... More Division I Women's Gymnastics Championships held at Dickies Arena on April 19, 2025 in Fort Worth, Texas. (Photo by C. Morgan Engel/NCAA Photos via Getty Images) So far, the two Olympic 'rivals' have exceeded expectations. This past spring, Chiles led the UCLA Bruins to their first Big Ten Championship and a National Runner-Up title at the 2025 NCAA Championship. Chiles also defended her 2023 NCAA uneven bars title, collecting her third individual championship. Off the mat, Chiles expanded her impact far beyond gymnastics. In May, Chiles made history as one of the first two gymnasts to land the cover for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. The same month – Mental Health Awareness Month – she committed to a powerful partnership with CorePower Yoga, centering the importance of mental health and wellness in sports. With every new partnership, Chiles reinforces her commitment to becoming a prominent voice for mental health and women's sports. Though the two-time Olympian has not yet decided on an elite comeback, she has her sights set on another NCAA title push in 2026, her senior season with the UCLA Women's Gymnastics team. Interestingly, Chiles' Olympic rival will join her on the collegiate stage next year. In a shocking turn of events, Barbosu announced her commitment to ACC powerhouse Stanford University. She will join the Cardinal in 2026, competing as a freshman while Chiles completes her senior season. Though she began the year with hardship, this time in the form of injuries, Barbosu made a statement at last week's European Championships. In fact, she made history. Initially considering withdrawing from the event to focus on her studies, Barbosu exceeded expectations at May's championship in Germany. The 18-year-old collected four medals—tying the most of any female athlete at the championship—and finished her competition with gold on floor exercise. 31 May 2025, Saxony, Leipzig: Gymnastics: European Championships, Decision: Floor, women. Ana ... More Barbosu (Romania, gold) at the award ceremony. Photo: Marijan Murat/dpa (Photo by Marijan Murat/picture alliance via Getty Images) Her performances were nothing short of historic for Romania. Barbosu finished third in the all-around despite an error-ridden beam routine, marking her nation's first all-around medal since 2013. With her gold medal on floor, she clinched Romania's first European title on the event in five years. She also collected a surprise bronze on bars, an event that has plagued Romanian gymnastics for decades. The last time a Romanian medalled on the event was Steliana Nistor in 2007, over 17 years ago. For Barbosu, her success in 2025 shows 'that [she] is capable of getting over the hard times with the right people beside [her].' While the Romanian now has her sights set on finishing exams and training for a World Championship berth, fans can hardly wait to see Barbosu share the collegiate stage with her fellow Olympian, Jordan Chiles. Though their journeys came at odds last August in Paris, Barbosu and Chiles set glowing examples of athletes channeling hardship into triumph.
