| contents | We show that the intrinsic diameter of mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^3$ is uniformly bounded as one approaches the first singular time $T$. This confirms the bounded diameter conjecture of Haslhofer. In addition, we establish several sharp quantitative estimates: the second fundamental form $A$ has uniformly bounded $L^1$-norm on each time slice, $A$ belongs to the weak $L^3$ space on the space-time region, and the singular set $\mathcal{S}$ has finite $\mathcal{H}^1$-Hausdorff measure. All of the results are optimal due to the marriage ring example and our results do not require any convexity assumptions on the surfaces. Furthermore, our arguments extend naturally to flows through singularities, yielding the same sharp estimates. |
