I have some sombre news for the Canadians here but Matt Temple just stole Josh Liendo's 100 fly Commonwealth record after clocking 50.25 at Japan Open 

 

http://swim.seiko.co.jp/en/2023/S70704/ranking/eng04R094.pdf

 

It was a quite fruitful meet with lots of PBs from the Aussies including a national record by Sam Williamson in the 50 breast (26.51).

 Letitia Sim also qualified at the Japan Open in the women’s 100m breastroke with a huge NR of 1:06.36!

She will probably get the QT for the 200 today.

 2024 Korean National Trials - Gimcheon (KOR)

November 23rd - November 28th 2023

 

Meet Results

 

 

The following new OQTs were achieved

 

Men's 200m Freestyle

 Kim Woomin

Korea has a very strong chance of pushing Australia off the podium in the 4x2 next year and possibly even challenging for gold. China also looks on track to produce a very strong 4x2 team.

Forgot the Italian open was on  Gonna be a busy week with four biggish meets happening. Anyone know if there's an entry list for the Rotterdam Qualification Meet anywhere?

I, for one, am not upset that gets to host the least important (for swimming anyway) World Aquatics Championships ever.

Hopefully it costs a fortune for very little gain.

Gonna have to wait for the entry lists to do up a prediction contest because the world rankings aren't gonna be too helpful.

 2023 Jose Finkel Trophy - Recife (BRA)

November 1st - November 5th 2023

 

Meet Results

 

 

No new OQTs were achieved

So much for being a backup qualifying meet for the Olympics.

[dullard 467]

They're basically forcing their athletes to peak in April and then have to peak again months later. Number of athletes that can do the QT based on best times this year (WAQ rankings):

 

[dullard 467]

Oleksiak has basically become a part-time swimmer.

 

I guess the Australian team won't be announced until January or maybe late December because the last selection meet (Queensland State Champs) is in mid December.

so looking at the World Aquatics calendar, I see this week we have an entry called "Jose Finkel Trophy and Brazilian Olympic Trials".

 

Can any Brazilians confirm this? Seems way too early to have Olympic trials already.

 

I found this (in Portuguese) which says it's a "safeguard" meet for Olympic selection but seems a bit strange to call it "Olympic Trials".

On another note, does anyone know if  Shkurdai's OQT's at the World Cup count for qualification? 

I don't know but I would expect them to count pending WAQ allowing them to compete.

What a warrior Sates is pulling off the 2IM/2Fly double at each leg.

Pilato 💪💪💪😎

 

do i have to change my Paris predicts for w 100 breast?

 

will she even qualify in this event? ITA are strong here

She's a bit unpredictable.

How fast she can swim tomorrow you think?

I could be wrong because I'm just speculating but I think she's probably focussed on speed for this World Cup tour. Peaking in the 50 and 200 at the same time is extremely hard.

[dullard 467]

It's nearly 3am here. Stayed up for the WR!

@dullard your preductions are good!!!

Was easy after what she did last week and then the 50 yesterday made it pretty much certain.

[dullard 467]

Siobhan might have something big for us tomorrow in the 100! She's also overdue for a breakthrough in the 200 with how many times she's gone 1:53 high/1:54 low.
