Japanese Olympic Trials: Day 8

 

Final day of competition say 4 more qualification times and 3 new individual qualifiers.

 

Men's 100m Butterfly:

1. Katsuhiro Matsumoto - 50.96 Q

2. Naoki Mizunuma - 51.23 Q

3. Genki Terakado - 51.33

4. Takeshi Kawamoto - 51.59

 

Matsumoto goes under 51 seconds to qualify for his 2nd individual event. 2022 World Championship silver medallist Mizunuma also manages to qualify. Also getting under the JASF QT was Genki Terakado. With the 100m butterfly results, we also know that Japan will send their men's 4x100m medley relay to the games.

 

Women's 200m IM:

1. Yui Ohashi - 2:09.17 Q

2. Shiho Matsumoto - 2:09.90 Q

3. Mio Narita - 2:10.39

 

Just like Seto yesterday, Yui Ohashi qualifies for the Olympics at the last opportunity and will have a small chance to defend her 200 IM Olympic title. 2:09.17 is her fastest time since the Tokyo Olympics. Shiho Matsumoto also had the swim of her life after missing qualifying in the 100m butterfly by 0.01 seconds. Mio Narita was also under the JASF QT and just missed qualifying for her 2nd individual event.

 

Women's 800m Freestyle:

1. Waka Kobori - 8:26.62

 

As with many others at these trials, Waka Kobori was under the AQUA OQT but missed the JASF QT. Though she'll likely get a spot as a relay swimmer so maybe she'll be allowed to swim this event.

 

Nobody was close to qualifying in either the women's 50m freestyle or men's 1500m freestyle.

 

And now we wait for the official team announcement. It should look something similar to below. Some relay-only swimmers may be removed/replaced, discretionary picks may be selected and qualified swimmers may add other events to their lineup.

Freestyle Ace Freya Anderson 'Unlikely' To Race At British Trials (swimswam.com)

 

Not ideal (especially for the relays)

The GBR medleys should be fine because in Doha Hopkin looked the best she's looked since 2021.
