@Pasolini I agree with your discretionary picks :). And now the long wait for a team announcement begins...

my picks...

 

all the 23 swimmers with Priority 1, 2, 3 and 5

 

then, Anderson, Bird, Cox, Evans, McMillan, Wilby and Whittle

 

and yes, I think they will fill all the 30 spots...actually they might even go up to 31 and take also Hanlon

 

they need all those backups for the relays

Not so sure about Hanlon as a relay only swimmer, because realistically they don't need female breaststroke back up - the women's medley is not going to win anything, and they are not going to swim a female breaststroke in the mixed. Wilby is different because he actually is back up for Peaty in two medal possible events.

 

However, it might be McMillan who misses out if the Litchfields and Bird are considered adequate 4 x 2 backup. Guy and Dean can definitely swim the heats. In a good world both Scott and Richards get a rest, but this is not a good world. However, if you could find other places to rest those two (4 x 100 free heats using whittle and possibly guy or even Proud) and men 4x1 medley using dean), you could put one in the 4 x 2 heat alone with Guy and Dean, and they would almost certainly be able to carry Bird or Max Litchfield in that scenario and still make the final.

 

FWIW I'd prefer to take 31 and bring Hanlon for insurance.

Milák is back with a 48.38 in 100 free.

 

He still got his speed, but it remains to be seen what happens in the fly events. 

200m Fly: Milàk, 1.55.43 in the morning heats

 

I guess he's gonna swim at least 1.53 in the afternoon, which would mean that he's gonna enter the Olympics as the usual favourite

 

p.s. he also swam 22.29 in the 50m Free heats

Quick midweek update on some trials/national meets this week:

 

:HUN Hungary

 

Most of the highlights have already been mentioned by other users on the forum. However, one swim was missed. Yesterday in the men's 200 IM, Gabor Zombori swam 1:57.88 to beat his lifetime best by over a second. That swim gets him under the OQT needed for the Olympics.

 

:RSA South Africa (After 3 of 6 days)

 

Josh has already mentioned Schoenmaker's time. However, in the same race, Kaylene Corbett also went 2:23.71 to also confirm her ticket to Paris. She has been 2:22 in the qualification period at WUGS. 

 

Pieter Coetze also went 1:55.85 in the 200m backstroke to confirm his spot in Paris.

 

Matt Sates has the OQT in the 200m butterfly but wasn't quite able to clear the OQT at this meet. However, I believe South Africa does accept OQT's from outside the national championships if no swimmer hits it there.

 

:NZL New Zealand (After 3 of 5 days)

 

Eve Thomas successfully added the 1500m freestyle to her event lineup to go alongside the 400m and 800m freestyles. She won in 16:07.46 to get under the OQT.

 

Hazel Ouwehand established a New Zealand Record in the Women's 100m Butterfly. Her time of 57.43 gets her a ticket to Paris.

 

Erika Fairweather has been in fine form going 1:55.45 and 4:02.35 in the 200 and 400m freestyles. She's already qualified in both events.

 

Lewis Clareburt is already in fine form. He went 1:47.18 and 3:46.85 in the 200 and 400m freestyles. Both PB's and the latter is under the OCT. These set him up well for his better 200m butterfly and 200m IM events later in the meet where he is still hunting down the OQT's.

 

Despite achieving the OQT at the 2023 World Championships, Andrew Jeffcoat is in danger of missing the Olympics. He already failed to hit the OQT in the 100m backstroke and has one more chance in the 200m backstroke here.

1) Milak went 21.8 in the 50 free in the same session afterwards, so not sure if he went all out in the 200 fly.

2) Milak swam a clear PB in the 50 free, so his speed is excellent. We‘ll see how it translates to the 100 fly.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • This season? It's a pity that we couldn't try fight for him, especially considering our problems in the sprints. 
    • Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains. 
    • When did Kim Min-Seok switch to Hungary?
    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
