Would be interesting to have a ranking of nations with the most athletes under the A standard. I was quite surprised to see that Japan has clearly more athletes under the A standard than GB.

Yeah, despite not completely translating into medals, Japan has quite a bit of depth in swimming. I wouldn't be surprised if they are a clear third behind the United States and Australia in such a list.

[Epic Failure 359]

So I just totted up what I think are the totals for the OQT for USA, AUS, GBR, Japan, Italy, China and France, using the FINA LCM rankings from 1st March 23 to today.

 

Those were the countries I thought might have a chance of being near the top of a list like this. There are other countries which are strong in part (Canadian & Dutch women) but less so collectively. I could be doing them a disservice not including them, but I was already looking at enough to fry my brain anyway

 

Russia would likely be somewhere in there, but with their uncertain status about things, I've not included in these figures.

 

USA - Men 83, Women 98 = 181 total

Aus - Men 34, Women 60 = 94 total

Japan - Men 38, Women 27 = 65 total

China - Men 25, Women 39 = 64 total

GBR - Men 34, Women 25 = 59 total

Italy - Men 33, Women 14 = 47 total

France - Men 25, Women 14 = 39 total

 

These are qualified swims, not swimmers. So Duncan Scott - for example - is in the GBR quota 3 times (100m fr, 200m fr, 200m IM). It would take me a lot longer to work that out, at least for countries that are not GBR. GBR is 37 total swimmers with an OQT - 23 men and 14 women.
