Short Course World Championships in Dubai - Top 10 swimmers in Ryan's individual events

The 2010 Fina Short Course World Championships begin on Wednesday, December 15. Unfortunately they will not be live streamed, at least that I am aware. Universal Sports will show daily highlights, and that's great, but it's always disappointing how they don't show entire races for 200m & longer events.

Live timing is available from Omega. Dubai is GMT +4, which is 9 hours ahead of EST, 10 hours ahead of CST and 12 hours ahead of PST.

According to the heat sheet, neither Ryan nor anyone else from the US is entered in the 100m IM, the event I was most excited to see. This has to be a mistake as I would assume both Ryan and Tyler Clary will swim it.

Lots of other great races though. Here are the events Ryan is entered in and the top 10 qualifiers:

200m free (Day 1 - December 15)

1 MAGNINI Filippo ITA 1:41.65
2 KORZENIOWSKI Pawel POL 1:42.10
3 IZOTOV Danila RUS 1:42.77
4 LOCHTE Ryan USA 1:42.88
5 BIEDERMANN Paul GER 1:42.94
6 MELLOULI Oussama TUN 1:42.95
7 AGNEL Yannick FRA 1:43.18
8 LOBINTSEV Nikita RUS 1:43.37
9 DEIBLER Markus GER 1:43.77
10 GLÆSNER Mads DEN 1:43.77

Also entered: 12 VANDERKAAY Peter USA 1:44.20
13 ROGAN Markus AUT 1:44.45
15 MEICHTRY Dominik SUI 1:44.74


400m IM (Day 2 - December 16)

1 LOCHTE Ryan USA 4:00.41

2 NEVO Gal ISR 4:00.55
3 CLARY Scott USA 4:01.97
4 MELLOULI Oussama TUN 4:02.99
5 VERRASZTÓ Dávid HUN 4:03.06
6 WOJT Lukasz POL 4:03.85
7 TURRINI Federico ITA 4:05.24
8 CARVALHO Diogo POR 4:06.83
9 HADLER Jayden AUS 4:07.06
10 MARIN Luca ITA 4:07.31

Also entered: 16 CSEH László HUN 4:10.71

I love it so much when Ryan races Laszlo Cseh in the IMs. Cseh holds the WR in this event at 3:57.27 from the suit era. Will this record be broken?

200m IM (Day 3 - December 17)

1 LOCHTE Ryan USA 1:50.42
2 ROGAN Markus AUT 1:51.72
3 DEIBLER Markus GER 1:53.25
4 CLARY Scott USA 1:53.49
5 JUKIC Dinko AUT 1:53.81
6 JANUSAITIS Vytautas LTU 1:54.07
7 RODRIGUES Henrique BRA 1:54.07
8 WOJT Lukasz POL 1:54.09
9 NEVO Gal ISR 1:54.17
10 CARVALHO Diogo POR 1:54.58

Also entered: 21 CSEH László HUN 1:57.68

100m IM (Day 4 - December 18)

1 MANKOC Peter SLO 50.76
2 FESIKOV Sergey RUS 51.18
3 DEIBLER Markus GER 52.13
4 TO Kenneth AUS 52.39
5 FUJII Takuro JPN 52.92
6 GALENDA Christian ITA 52.94
7 RODRIGUES Henrique BRA 53.05
8 D'ORSOGNA Tommaso AUS 53.06
9 DRAGANJA Duje CRO 53.50
10 ZANDBERG Johannes Gerhardus RSA 53.57

No entries for the U.S.? This has to be a mistake. Although, maybe Ryan and Clary are not swimming it because the prelims & semis are on Day 4 and the finals are on Day 5, right after the 200 back. Still it doesn't seem right because (a) those guys never back down from doubles and (b) if they aren't swimming it, why wouldn't the US enter someone else like Eric Shanteau?

200m back (Day 5 - December 19)

1 VYATCHANIN Arkady RUS 1:46.75
2 KAWECKI Radoslaw POL 1:48.73
3 IRIE Ryosuke JPN 1:50.58
4 LOCHTE Ryan USA 1:50.81
5 STASIULIS Benjamin FRA 1:51.27
6 CLARY Scott USA 1:51.57
7 LESTINGI Damiano ITA 1:51.84
8 WILDEBOER FABER Aschwin ESP 1:52.14
9 ROGAN Markus AUT 1:52.15
10 BUYUKUNCU Derya TUR 1:53.00
