Florian Wellbrock doesn't want to hear any wobbling on from swimmers whop think they're had a hefty program here at Singapore 2025 Worlds in the pool this week. After all, the German ace will have swum 22.5km of racing when he stops the clock in lane 4 of the 1500m freestyle final in the curtain-closing session of the global showcase tomorrow evening.
