London Roar’s Aussies Headed To University Of Stirling After Match #9

With London Roar set to battle Energy Standard, Toronto Titans and DC Trident today and tomorrow for International Swimming League match #9, several of the squad’s members are already making plans for where they’ll head leading up to the Eindhoven playoffs in November.

Many of the Roar’s Australians will opt to train at the University of Stirling, home of multi-Olympic medalist and fellow Roar teammate Duncan Scott. This includes the likes of Olympic superstar Emma McKeon and double Olympic bronze medalist Zac Incerti.

However, breaking from that plan is freestyle weapon Kyle Chalmers, who will instead be heading to Canada for the interlude, training with Roar compatriot Sydney Pickrem.

Although not on the Roar, another Aussie ISL swimmer has upcoming plans that don’t involve her returning to her native country.

LA Current’s Madi Wilson is headed to Berlin and Budapest for those stops of the FINA World Cup Series before participating in a short training camp in Israel and then wrapping up the World Cup’s last 2 stops. The tie-in here is that LA Current coach David Marsh coaches the Israeli national team.

The FINA World Cup schedule for this season is as follows:

  • Berlin, Germany – October 1-3 (stage 1)
  • Budapest, Hungary – October 7-9 (stage 1)
  • Doha, Qatar – October 21-23 (stage 2)
  • Kazan, Russia – October 28-30 (stage 2)

27-year-old Wilson was dealt a racing blow as the freestyle and backstroke dynamo tested positive for COVID-19 and was hospitalized, rendered out of match #8.

After seeing Sydney’s IG post today, I am now convinced she has seen this speculation and is trolling us. Well played, Syd 😂👏

First we convince Hayden to continue to 2024, then we reel back Condorelli from Italy, Pickrem convinces Kyle to switch citizenship, then add Liendo into the mix and watch out for Canada’s 4×100 free relay in Paris haha

Except no thanks for Condorelli. He seems toxic.

My only info on that comes from a Feb 2021 news article on the Daily Mail (I know, I know) that says Kyle and Madi broke up for the second time.
But I may be way off base and they’re just training buds!

There's no doubt that he's tightening up
