According to data compiled by Nuoto Mondiale, the most comprehensive historical times database of the moment, MoClair’s 22.04 ranks him as the 8th-fastest junior age swimmer in history.
Top 27 All-Time, Boys’ 18 & Under 50 LCM Freestyle
1. 21.75 – Michael C. Andrew (USA), Aug 23, 2017 – World Junior Championships (Prelims)
T-22. 22.25 – Isaac Cooper (AUS), May 18, 2022 – Australian Nationals (Prelims)
T-26. 22.26 – Luca Leonardi (ITA), Aug 11, 2009 – Italian Junior Championships
T-26. 22.26 – Cameron McEvoy (AUS), Apr 9, 2012 – Australian Age Championships
What is most interesting about this list is how many of the names on it never worked out, at least not as prestigiously as they did in their junior ages, especially at the top.
While there are lots of historical speculations about fast junior-aged swimmers not working out, by-and-large those stories are overblown. Most Olympic medalists were also among the best junior-aged swimmers.
But even in an event like the 50 free where men historically peak just a few years later between ages 21 and 23 (though there are many exceptions to this, of course), the path from 18 to 21 is not always clear.
It’s not that nobody at the top of this juniors list has had any success – the best of that group is Vladyslav Bukhov, who is 18th best of all-time. The #1 ranked Michael Andrew, for example, is an Olympic Champion, it’s that none of them have had really retained their ranking in the 50 free at the senior level. Andrew, in fact, is the top-ranked among this group in the 50 free all-time, open age, at 21st.
The average all-time, all-age ranking of the junior top 12 (pre MoClair) is about 107th place. The average all-time, all-age ranking of the junior top 26 (pre MoClair) is about 130th place. That is in spite of both #3 Caeleb Dressel and #4 Cam McEvoy being on the top juniors list and bringing up the ranking.
Among the top 27 juniors, 7 of them never got any faster after turning 18. Many left the sport early or had meandering paths (Curtiss, Percy, and Cooper as examples). Many, like Grousset, Popovici, or Ribeiro, have pivoted to other events and excelled.
To be fair, one or two, like Bukhov at 23, are still very much in their primes, and the differences on these lists are just fractions of seconds, so this might be overstating the statistical significance in a pure sense. But in this event, junior success surely hasn’t equated to senior success, especially over the last 11 or 12 years (Morozov, for example, was #2 at the time, and his career worked out better than most on this list).
A mass shooting at a Jewish festival at Bondi Beach in the Australian city of Sydney has killed at least 11 people and wounded 29 in what was a grisly, rare occurrence for the country.
Authorities said the “terrorist” incident on Sunday was “designed to target Sydney’s Jewish community on the first day of Hanukkah” as hundreds of people gathered for an event called Chanukah by the Sea.
The Australian leader condemned the “targeted” attack, saying: “What was unleashed today is beyond comprehension.”
Albanese also addressed the Jewish community directly.
“As prime minister, on behalf of all Australians, to the Jewish community: We stand with you, we embrace you and we reaffirm tonight that you have every right to be proud of who you are and what you believe,” Albanese said. “You have the right to worship and study and work and live in peace and safety.
“You should never have to endure the loss that you have suffered today. We will dedicate every resource required to make sure you are safe and protected.”

Downsizing to a tiny house doesn’t have to mean giving up your home comforts. The Juniper leans into this idea and even gives some traditional apartments a run for their money. The home is arranged around a spacious single-floor layout and squeezes in a large bathroom with a full-sized bathtub.
The Juniper, by Rewild Homes, would be a good fit for a couple living full-time on wheels. It’s based on a triple-axle trailer and has a length of 34 ft (10.4 m), which is around average for a North American tiny house. Its width sets it apart, bumping things up from the standard 8.5 ft (2.6 m) to 10 ft (3 m). The extra space is more useful than you might think and helps make it seem more like a small apartment than a typical tiny house interior. The tradeoff is that it needs a permit to tow, though as long as you’re not planning on regularly moving to new locations, this shouldn’t be an issue.
The exterior of the home is finished in cedar and metal, with a metal roof. The wooden focus continues inside, with pine walls, a cedar ceiling, hardwood flooring, and locally sourced trim throughout.
The Juniper’s living room has enough space to install an entertainment center
Rewild Homes
The glazed front door opens into a well-lit living area with a large sofa and shelving, plus there’s a little room left for an entertainment center to be added without turning the space into an obstacle course.
The kitchen occupies the center of the home and looks well-proportioned for a tiny house. It has some retro-styled appliances, including the oven and fridge/freezer, which add a splash of color. The kitchen also has a stainless steel double sink, a dining area that doubles as a handy desk for working from home, plus quite a lot of cabinetry.
The bathroom is a real standout in this model and is luxurious for a tiny house. Accessed by a sliding barn-style door, it has that bathtub/shower, which Rewild Homes says is a full-size unit. It also has a sink, a flushing toilet, plus a washer/dryer. The room has a nice high ceiling and high windows, which let in natural light without affecting privacy.
The bedroom is at the opposite side of the house to the living room and is accessed from the bathroom through another barn-style door. The bedroom is spacious – though looks a little roomier than it would with a bed installed – and has enough clearance to stand upright. It also has its own glazed door offering direct access to the outside. Above the bedroom is a small storage loft that’s accessed by a ladder from the bathroom.

The Juniper was custom-designed for a client. We’ve no word on the price of this model, though, for reference, its somewhat similar Barred Owl is up for sale for CAD 165,000 (roughly US$120,000).
Watch: Police release CCTV of Brown University shooting suspect
A person of interest has been detained in connection with a US shooting at Brown University that left two people dead, police said.
Nine others were injured when a gunman opened fire at the university in Providence, Rhode Island, on Saturday.
Police confirmed on Sunday a person had been detained, and an earlier order for people on the Brown campus and surrounding areas to shelter had been lifted.
Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said seven people remained in stable condition, one of them was in critical but stable condition, and another was discharged.
The gunman opened fire in a classroom at around 16:00 local time (21:00 GMT) on Saturday at the Holley engineering building at the eastern end of Brown’s campus, according to officials.
The identities of those killed or injured have not yet been released, but Brown University President Christina Paxson told reporters in a press briefing on Saturday that all the victims, including those killed and wounded, were students.
In a statement released by the university on Sunday, Paxson said that some areas of campus were still restricted as police continued their investigations.
Around 2,000 students were relocated to safe locations overnight, she said, adding that she was “deeply moved” by students and locals who opened up their homes, Paxson said.
She added that the families of the two students killed were being supported.
“There are not enough words of comfort for families who lose a child, but we will do all we can,” she said.

Police had earlier released CCTV footage of a male suspect walking away from the scene wearing all black clothing. Officers said a firearm was not found in a sweep of the building.
The suspect was arrested at a hotel overnight and taken to custody, a law enforcement source told the BBC’s US partner, CBS News.
They added that he is not currently enrolled as a student at Brown.
Police Chief Col. Oscar Perez said the suspect was in his 30’s but did not provide further details.
Perez confirmed on Sunday that officers were not looking for anyone else and were working with prosecutors to collect evidence.
Smiley said the city should be able to “breathe a little easier” after the shelter order was lifted.
“We have trained for this moment, but this is not something that any community should have to train for,” he added.
Hundreds of police officers and federal agents were sent to Providence on Saturday to find the suspect.
Speaking to reporters at the White House on Saturday, President Donald Trump said the shooting was a “terrible thing”.
The attack on the Ivy League university brings the number of mass shootings to 389 in the US for this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
It defines mass shootings as having four or more victims killed or injured, not including the attacker.
The death of two U.S. service members and one American civilian in an attack in Syria by an alleged member of the Islamic State group has drawn new attention to the presence of American forces in the country.
Saturday’s attack was the first with fatalities since the fall of Syrian President Bashar Assad a year ago.
The United States has had troops on the ground in Syria for over a decade, with a stated mission of fighting IS. While not part of its official mission, the U.S. presence has also been seen as a means to hinder the flow of Iranian and Iran-backed fighters and weapons into Syria from neighboring Iraq.
The number of U.S. troops in the country has fluctuated and currently stands at around 900. They are mainly posted in the Kurdish-controlled northeast and at the al-Tanf base in the southeastern desert near the borders with Iraq and Jordan.
Here’s the back story and present situation of the U.S. military force in Syria:
What U.S. forces are doing in Syria
In 2011, mass protests in Syria against the Assad government were met by a brutal crackdown and spiraled into a civil war that lasted nearly 14 years before he was ousted in December 2024.
Wary of getting bogged down in another costly and politically unpopular war in the Middle East after its experience in Iraq and Afghanistan, Washington sent support to rebel groups but at first avoided direct military intervention.
That changed after the rise of the IS, which carried out sporadic attacks in the U.S. and Europe, while in Iraq and Syria, it seized territory that was at one point half the size of the United Kingdom. In the areas the group controlled, it was notorious for its brutality against religious minorities, as well as Muslims whom it considered to be apostates.
In 2014, the administration of then-U.S. President Barack Obama launched an air campaign against IS in Iraq and Syria. The following year, the first U.S. ground troops entered Syria, where they partnered with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces in the country’s northeast.
By 2019, IS had lost control of all the territory it once held, but sleeper cells have continued to launch attacks.
The US military and Syrian forces
Before Assad’s ouster, Washington had no diplomatic relations with Damascus and the U.S. military did not work directly with the Syrian army.
That has changed over the past year. Ties have warmed between the administrations of U.S. President Donald Trump and Syrian interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa, the former leader of an Islamist insurgent group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham that used to be listed by Washington as a terrorist organization.
In November, al-Sharaa became the first Syrian president to visit Washington since the country’s independence in 1946. During his visit, Syria announced its entry into the global coalition against the Islamic State, joining 89 other countries that have committed to combating the group.
While the entry into the coalition signals a move toward greater coordination between the Syrian and U.S. militaries, the Syrian security forces have not officially joined Operation Inherent Resolve, the U.S.-led military mission against IS in Iraq and Syria, which has for years partnered with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces in northeast Syria.
The future US footprint in Syria
The number of U.S. troops posted in Syria has changed over the years.
Trump tried to withdraw all forces from Syria during his first term, but he met opposition from the Pentagon because it was seen as abandoning Washington’s Kurdish allies, leaving them open to a Turkish offensive.
Turkey considers the SDF a terrorist organization because of its association with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, which has waged a long-running insurgency in Turkey.
The number of U.S. troops increased to more than 2,000 after the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas in Israel, as Iranian-backed militants targeted American troops and interests in the region in response to Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.
The force has since been drawn back down to around 900, but Trump has given no indication that he is planning a full withdrawal in the near future.
After Saturday’s attack, U.S. envoy to Syria Tom Barrack posted on X: “A limited number of U.S. forces remain deployed in Syria solely to finish the job of defeating ISIS once and for all.”
The U.S. presence “empowers capable local Syrian partners to take the fight to these terrorists on the ground, ensuring that American forces do not have to engage in another costly, large-scale war in the Middle East,” he said, adding, “We will not waver in this mission until ISIS is utterly destroyed.”

Jay-Z’s MarcyPen Capital Partners has signed a memorandum of understanding with South Korea’s Hanwha Asset Management to launch a $500 million “K-culture” investment fund.
Via the fund, the companies plan to “accelerate the global expansion of K-culture and lifestyle industries.”
The news arrives amid the global surge in Korean culture and entertainment, popularized by superstar K-pop acts such as BTS and Stray Kids, as well as entertainment brands like Netflix‘s Squid Game series, the wildly successful K-pop Demon Hunters animated film, and its blockbuster soundtrack.
MarcyPen is a private equity firm formed in September 2024 from the merger of Jay-Z’s Marcy Venture Partners and Pendulum Holdings’ investment arm Pendulum Opportunities.
Marcy Venture Partners was founded in 2018 by Jay-Z, Roc Nation co-founder Jay Brown, and venture capitalist Larry Marcus, while Pendulum Holdings was founded in 2019 by Robbie Robinson — a former financial advisor to President Barack Obama.
The firm, which manages over $900 million in assets, announced the agreement with Hanwha during Abu Dhabi Finance Week 2025.
The announcement noted that MarcyPen brings “extensive experience” in consumer-facing businesses, including entertainment companies and beauty brands.
The partnership with Hanwha positions the firm to identify and support “high-potential Asian companies” seeking global expansion.
Under the MOU, both companies will collaborate to identify investment opportunities in “innovative companies” across the region.
The partnership marks a significant collaboration between the US-based investment company and a prominent South Korean asset management firm.
“K-culture and lifestyle industries are reshaping consumer trends around the world.”

“K-culture and lifestyle industries are reshaping consumer trends around the world,” said Jong-Ho (James) Kim, CEO of Hanwha Asset Management.
“This MOU lays an important groundwork for us to support high-potential Asian companies as they advance onto the global stage.
“Leveraging our experience and investment expertise throughout Asian markets, Hanwha Asset Management is committed to delivering steady, practical support for Korean and Asian companies aiming to expand globally.”
“South Korea has become a cultural hub in Asia, influencing global trends across beauty, content, food, entertainment, and lifestyle.”
Robbie Robinson, MarcyPen
Robbie Robinson, CEO of MarcyPen, emphasized the strategic positioning of South Korea in the global cultural landscape. “South Korea has become a cultural hub in Asia, influencing global trends across beauty, content, food, entertainment, and lifestyle,” he said.
“Through the collaboration we began at ADFW 2025, we look forward to identifying new investment opportunities in innovative companies across the region.”
Watch: Police release CCTV of Brown University shooting suspect
Police are searching for a gunman who shot dead two students and injured nine others at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
Police say the attacker was a man dressed all in black who fled on foot, and a shelter-in-place warning is in effect for the area surrounding the prestigious university.
The attack on the campus brings the number of mass shootings in the US to 389 for this year, according to the independent analysis website Gun Violence Archive.
It defines mass shootings as having four or more victims killed or injured, not including the attacker.
Here’s what we know:
What happened?
The gunman opened fire in a classroom at around 16:00 local time (21:00) on Saturday at the Holley engineering building at the eastern end of Brown’s campus, according to officials.
Final exams were taking place in the building at the time of the shooting, the school said.
Barus and Holley engineering building is a seven-story block that includes 117 laboratories, dozens of classrooms and three lecture halls.
An economics professor told local public media outlet Ocean State Radio that the shooting had taken place during a review session for her course, which was led by her teaching assistant.
“He said that the shooter came in the doors, yelled something – he couldn’t remember what he yelled – and started shooting,” Rachel Friedberg said.
“Students started to scramble to try to get away from the shooter, trying to get lower down in the stadium seating, and people got shot,” she added.
Two students studying in the nearby Rockefeller library when the active gunman alert came through told the BBC they “stayed away from the windows” as they awaited police escort.
Officers searched the floor, made them drop their bags and raise their hands before before being led out of the library, the pair said.
Brown University, one of the one of the oldest higher education institutions in the US, is part of the Ivy League, a group of elite universities in the northeast of the country.
The university, which has more than 11,000 students, is located in Providence, Rhode Island’s capital city, located about 50 miles (80km) from Boston and 180 miles (290km) from New York City.
Who are the victims?
Two students were killed, and a further nine people are being treated. Medics say one person is in a critical condition, six are “critical but stable”, and two others are less severely hurt.
The identities of those killed or injured have not yet been released, but Brown University President Christina Paxson told reporters in a press briefing that all the victims, including those killed and wounded, were students.
“This is a day that we hoped never would come to our community. It is deeply devastating for all of us,” she said in a statement.
A ninth victim did not suffer a gunshot wound, according to police, who said they suffered non-life threatening injuries from fragments from the shooting “that had occurred near them”.
Who is the gunman?
Very little is known about the gunman so far, but police have released CCTV footage of a male suspect, walking away from the scene of the shooting wearing all black clothing.
There is no weapon visible in the video, and his face is covered. Officials also say a firearm was not found in a sweep of the building on Saturday.
Investigators do not yet know if the gunman was a student, but Providence Deputy Police Chief Tim O’Hara said the suspect was a male who was dressed all in black and appeared be in his 30s.
“We’re utilising every resource possible to find this suspect,” he said.
Some witnesses reportedly told officers he may have been wearing a camouflage grey mask.
One person was arrested before police determined they were not involved in the shooting and released them.
What is the latest?
A massive operation involving police and federal agents is now underway in Providence as around 400 officers try to locate the suspect.
Residents and students near to the university have been told to stay at home and stay inside, or to stay away until the shelter-in-place is lifted.
Students in the area told the BBC they planned to stay at home until the things calm down and the gunman is caught.
US President Donald Trump, speaking to reporters as he returned to the White House from attending the annual Army and Navy football game, described the shooting as “a terrible thing”.
“All we can do right now is pray for the victims and for those that were very badly hurt,” he said.
