After skipping the 200 IM in Incheon, which may have been a strategic error, is there a path back to the title for Kate Douglass in Singapore?

American swimmer Michael Andrew is heading home early from the 2024 Swimming World Cup Series, citing ongoing sickness.
“Looking forward to feeling healthy in preparations for Worlds,” Andrew said in a social media post, referring to December’s Short Course World Championships in Budapest.

Andrew currently ranks 31st in the series’ season-long standings, unable to secure any prize money in either of the first two stops while battling illness. His best finishes were 5th in the 50 breast (26.34) and 8th in the 100 IM (53.19) in Shanghai; and 6th in both the 50 breast and 100 IM.
Andrew finished 4th in the World Cup standings in 2023.
Andrew, now 25, won an Olympic gold medal at the Tokyo Games in 2021 as the breaststroke leg of the World Record-setting American men’s 400 medley relay. He also has 1 World Championship in long course (2022 – mixed 400 medley) and six in short course.
After missing the U.S. team for the Paris 2024 Games, Andrew announced that for the first time in his swimming career, he would be training under a coach who wasn’t his father Peter Andrew. Michael Andrew still has not announced who he would be training under, saying that he’s still waiting for final approvals.
who would you rather have on your finals relay.. MA or Casas?
MA all day. He has some gold medals on relays to back it up.
