Is Hosszu going to swim 200FR at this meet? She has swum a lot of different disciplines this season including unusual for her 50 free. Some of them for several times but no 200 free. Like Pellegrini in Italy Charlotte Bonnet takes competition seriously and never lets Hosszu beat her on French soil.

I don’t know, but she will be needed in 4×200 as the anchor.
