Overview
- Cameron McEvoy said Wednesday he will chase 50m butterfly selection at national trials and hunt individual medals at the July 23–August 2 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
- He believes his 50m freestyle world record of 20.88 seconds can fall further, citing data that shows about 0.12 seconds available in the final five metres.
- He ruled out adding the 100m freestyle or relay duties this year, though he left the door open for a possible 4x100m relay return at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
- He will sit out August’s Pan Pacific Championships in Irvine, saying the extra weeks on the road would take him away from family and dilute his focus on Glasgow.
- McEvoy says his stripped-back program of fewer laps, heavier strength work, and neural training transfers cleanly to butterfly, and he continues to share the method even as rivals copy it.
