Thanks, I have been struggling to find the results for this. 

 

When you say "internal leg" on the relays, is that a time from this meet or has some takeover time been taken off.

no, it's from Today's relays, internal leg just means that they were in 2nd, 3rd or 4th leg

AQUA recently changed that rule. So now an athlete no longer needs to have competed at Worlds to be eligible.

great to know that rules are meant to be broken

Not really sure how to feel about this with all that’s going on right now, but “World Champion” Tang Qianting fired off a new AR of 1:04.68 in the women’s 100m breaststroke at the Chinese Olympic Trials (in the semifinals)

I wonder if the ARD documentary was deliberately scheduled to coincide for the Trials?

So I guess  Zhang Zhanshuo decided to focus on the 400 free instead of the 400 IM? That's unfortunate because I believe he would've had a better shot at making the final in the 400IM. It's also unfortunate because we lose another athlete who had the 400 IM OQT and now with just over 2 months to go in the qualification period, we have roughly 9 ENTRIES in the men's 400 IM:

 

 

NOC		ATHLETE 1 QUALIFICATION EVENT		RESULT	ATHLETE 2 QUALIFICATION EVENT	RESULT
Australia	1	SMITH Brendon World Aquatics Championships 2023		OQT 4:10.37
Canada	0	WIGGINTON Lorne World Aquatics Junior Swimming Championships 2023		OCT 4:12.81
France	1	MARCHAND Léon World Aquatics Championships 2023		OQT 4:02.50
Germany	1	BÜSSING Cedric Eindhoven Qualification Meet 2024		OQT 4:12.33
Great Britain	1	LITCHFIELD Max British National Championships 2024		OQT 4:09.14
Hungary	0	Maximum Quota exceeded, Athlete 1 TBD		OCT X
Italy	1	RAZZETTI Alberto Italian Winter National Championships 2023		OQT 4:09.29
Japan	1	MATSUSHITA Tomoyuki Japan Selection Trial for Olympic Games 2024		OQT 4:10.04
New Zealand	1	CLAREBURT Lewis World Aquatics Championships 2024		OQT 4:09.72
South Africa	0	SATES Matt World Aquatics Swimming World Cup Athens 2023		OCT 4:13.38
United States	2	Maximum Quota exceeded, Athlete 1 TBD		OQT X	Maximum Quota exceeded, Athlete 2 TBD	OQT X

 

It's also quite possible that Brendon Smith wouldn't qualify at Australian trials given his form this year. Japan might add one of Seto or Honda as their 2nd entry and Wigginton, Gabor Zombori, and Sates could be added through OCTs. However, it's quite likely that we'll have even fewer entries than the women's 200m butterfly from Tokyo where their were only 17 entries.

 

This event had the misfortune of having an insanely fast heats in Tokyo that nuked the qualifying time from 4:15.84 to 4:12.50. If AQUA followed their old rules where they set the OQT as the 16th fastest swimmer in the heats instead of the 14th fastest swimmer, the new qualifying time would've been 4:15.76 instead.
