Do you think is there any chance they will forfait their medley or freestyle quota?

  • Honey Osrin - W 200m Backstroke
  • Duncan Scott - M 100m Freestyle, M 4x100m Freestyle Relay, M 200m Individual Medley
  • Ben Proud - M 50m Freestyle
  • Abbie Wood - W 200m Freestyle , W 4x200m Freestyle Relay, W 200m Individual Medley

 

Priority 2: Relay swimmers (guaranteed selection) (5 swimmers)

  • Medi Harris - W 4x200m Freestyle Relay
  • Lucy Hope - W 4x200m Freestyle Relay
  • Tom Dean - M 4x100m Freestyle Relay, M 200m Individual Medley
  • Alexander Cohoon - M 4x100m Freestyle Relay
  • Joe Litchfield - M 4x100m Medley Relay

 

Priority 5: 2nd place finishers with nomination time (3 swimmers)

  • Jonny Marshall - M 100m Backstroke
  • Laura Stephens - W 200m Butterfly
  • Katie Shanahan - W 400m Individual Medley, W 200m Backstroke

 

Candidates for Priority 4 - Discretionary Picks

  • Freya Anderson - W 100m Freestyle, W 200m Freestyle (injured)
  • Kieran Bird - M 400m Freestyle (OQT)
  • Amelie Blocksidge - W 1500m Freestyle (OCT)
  • Lauren Cox - W 100m Backstroke (NT at World Championships)
  • Kara Hanlon - W 200m Breaststroke (OCT)
  • James Wilby - M 100m Breaststroke (OQT)
  • Jacob Whittle - M 4x200m Freestyle

 

In addition to those athletes Tobias Robinson, who has already qualified in open water, will compete in the men’s 800m/1500m freestyle events despite not having matched the BST as it won’t impact the 30 swimmer cap. 

Only James Guy booked a ticket tonight, so we have 19 guaranteed athletes.
Luke Greenbank is also now on priority 5 with his 200m Backstroke. Let's say those 4 will be included and we would have a team of 23 (except Tobias Robinson).

 

They could easily say "we're done" but it would be a bit odd I guess. I still believe they will take both relays, or at least ask them to do a tryout.  If they decide to take 30, those are my bet for the 7 extra, kind-of-on-order
 

 

I think there are 4 safer bets because either they won their races, or they would form relays

 

  • Kieran Bird - M 400m Freestyle (OQT), not only he has an OQT and won the event, he could be a relay option, with his 6th on 4x200m Freestyle
  • Angharad Evans W 100m Breaststroke (OQT), not only she won but she could form the 4x100m medley
  • Eva Okaro - W 4x100m Freestyle (2nd- relay not qualified)
  • Freya Anderson - W 4x100m Freestyle (3rd- relay not qualified) she could easily compete at  W 100m Freestyle, W 200m Freestyle and she was injured

 

 

Then I guess they could take these 3 to be options for relays, and 2 of them are big names

 

  • James Wilby - M 100m Breaststroke (he could even participate in the individual with his OQT and would be a back-up for 4x100m medley)
  • Jacob Whittle - M 4x100m 5th Swimmer?
  • Jack McMillan - M 400m Freestyle (OQT), and he also would be a great option to swim in the heats for  4x200m Freestyle

I doubt it.

 

Currently, the 4 swimmers with the best 200m freestyle times are Djakovic, Mityukov, Liess and Ponti. They would need 1 relay quota there.

 

Medley relay would be something like Mityukov -> Desplanches -> Ponti-> Liess or Bollin -> Desplanches -> Ponti -> Mityukov. Desplanches currently has an OCT so I don't think he needs a relay quota. 

 

So they should be fine. They did reject one quota in Tokyo but it was a women's quota. They accepted all the men's quotas.

They will take some discretionary picks but not enough to fill all 30 I suspect.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal.
