Probability

68%

Lara van Niekerk is the reigning double world champion (50m + 100m breaststroke, 2022 Commonwealth Games) and holds the world record. Her main rival Tatjana Smith (also RSA) competes in the same event. Key field change: Kaylee McKeown (Australia, 5× Olympic gold) withdrew from the 2026 Commonwealth Games due to glandular fever. Without McKeown, van Niekerk is the clear favorite; own estimate based on defending champion + world record status: ~68%.
