If Cameron McEvoy's calculations are correct, the Australian swimmer is on track to light up the Commonwealth Games with another world record.
Of course there are variables at play, but the world and Olympic champion - and owner of 50m freestyle's fastest legal time - is quietly confident he can go even faster next month.
"That's the entire point around this part of the season," he told AAP.
The 34-year-old, in his fourth Olympics, became the first Australian man to win gold in the 50m freestyle at the Paris Games two years ago.
Following a hunch and leaning on his studies in maths and quantum physics, McEvoy has practically reinvented short-distance swimming.
Put simply, he has drastically restricted his time in the pool and focused on power and explosiveness in the gym.
