Titmus is ranked second in the world in the event this year behind Canadian teen Summer McIntosh, who clocked 3:59.06 at Olympic trials last month. The pair will likely battle for podium places at Paris with Germany's Lukas Martens, who holds the year's best time of 3:40.33. McKeown, the Olympic 100 and 200m backstroke champion, is also a major contender for the 200 IM gold at Paris, having posted 2:06.99 at the Australian Open Championships in April, the 7th fastest swim all-time.
