Top Athletes competing in World Cup Shanghai 2024

Headlining the first event is Leon Marchand from France, who is already a star after his outstanding performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he snagged four individual gold medals and a relay bronze. The 22-year-old will be aiming for more medals at this event, which has a different format compared to the Olympics and other major competitions.

Unlike the standard 50-meter Olympic pools, this World Cup will be held in 25-meter pools, making the races shorter but just as thrilling. Swimmers will accumulate points over the three locations of the World Cup series.
