:CAN Canadian Olympic Trials: Day 2

 

Men's 400m Individual Medley (OQT: 4:12.50)

1. Tristan Jankovics - 4:11.74 Q :hyper:

2. Lorne Wigginton - 4:13.60

3. Collyn Gagne - 4:16.90

 

An absolutely sensational swim by Jankovics to beat his PB by almost 6 seconds and get under the OQT. Disappointing for Wigginton though who's PB was just 0.31 off the OQT coming into trials.

 

Women's 200m Freestyle (OQT: 1:57.26)

1. Summer McIntosh - 1:53.69 :d

2. Mary-Sophie Harvey - 1:55.44 Q :yikes:

3. Julie Brousseau - 1:57.60 Q

4. Emma O'Croinin - 1:57.86 Q

5. Ella Jansen - 1:58.25

6. Brooklyn Douthwright - 1:58.49

 

Much better swim today from Summer. The commentators seemed to imply that she won't be swimming this event at the Olympics though. Harvey continues her amazing form earning another individual swim and is now the 7th fastest swimmer in the Olympic qualification period. Also great to see Brousseau and O'Croinin make their first Olympic team with PBs. Jansen and Douthwright also put themselves into consideration for selection. Notably, Penny Oleksiak finished 9th in 2:00.18.

 

Men's 100m Backstroke (OQT: 53.74)

1. Blake Tierney - 53.48 :thumbup:

2. Javier Acevedo - 53.55 :thumbup:

3. Aiden Norman - 53.99

 

PB's for all of the top 3 swimmers.

 

Women's 100m Breaststroke (OQT: 1:06.79)

1. Sophie Angus - 1:06.96 Q

2. Kelsey Wog - 1:07.00

3. Sydney Pickrem - 1:07.27

 

By far the most disappointing event of the session. Coming into trials, we had 3 women who had already swum under the OQT and two others at 1:07 low and none of them reached it tonight. Angus qualifies by placing 1st and since she has the OQT from 2024 World Championships, she'll be able to swim the individual 100 breaststroke too. It remains to be seen whether or not Swimming Canada will select one of the other breaststrokers who already have an OQT. Looks like it'll be a 4th place finish in the medley relay.

 

Qualifiers after Day 2:

10 Swimmers (3 men + 7 women)

 

Priority 1: Swimmers finishing in the top 2 in an event at Olympic Trials with OQT (6 swimmers)

  • Javier Acevedo - Men's 100m Backstroke
  • Mary-Sophie Harvey - Women's 200m Freestyle, 100m Butterfly
  • Tristan Jankovics - Men's 400m Individual Medley
  • Maggie Mac Neil - Women's 100m Butterfly
  • Summer McIntosh - Women's 200m Freestyle, 400m Freestyle
  • Blake Tierney - Men's 100m Backstroke

 

Priority 2: Relay swimmers (top 4 in 100/200m freestyle + stroke 100 winners not in Priority 1) (4 swimmers)

  • Sophie Angus - Women's 4x100m Medley Relay (Has the W 100m breaststroke OQT outside of trials)
  • Julie Brousseau - Women's 4x200m Freestyle Relay
  • Finlay Knox - Men's 4x100m Medley Relay
  • Emma O'Croinin - Women's 4x200m Freestyle Relay

I'm guessing it's because the final of the 200 free is only about an hour after the final of the 400m IM. Not to mention that Summer will have already have had the 400 free on day 1.

 

So if she were to do the 200 free as well, it would be 2 400s on day 1, 2 200s on day 2 and then 3 swims on day 3. Even for Summer that would be a heavy schedule for the first 3 days. Unfortunate scheduling more than anything.

Canada is starting to have some depth on the men’s side. Norman, Liendo, Kharun, Jankovics, Wiggington are all young enough to stick around 2028 or 2032. Too bad that many of their younger female swimmers (Ruck, Oleksiak, Smith, Sanchez) aren’t a factor anymore. Don’t see them challenging for a relay medal.

Eh, the women’s 4x200m freestyle relay was looking extremely (extremely) unlikely to begin the meet. For the women’s 4x100m medley relay, breaststroke struggles at Trials is worrying (really hope they take either LePage/Branton as a prelims option, then if they don’t swim well switch to Angus for finals), but I’d still have them in the conversation (Angus has put up some solid splits for the relays at the last two World Championships) for a medal. Kylie Masse has had a resurgence in the backstroke which definitely helps. Only missing leg is the freestyle. We’ll see what they can do later on in the event.

By the way, if you’re wondering what I’m talking about by “Masse’s backstroke resurgence”, Masse clocked 58.27 in the prelims of the women’s 100m backstroke today. And it looked effortless too.

:CAN Canadian Olympic Trials: Day 3

 

Men's 200m Freestyle (OQT: 1:46.26)

1. Alex Axon - 1:47.56 Q

2. Patrick Hussey - 1:47.78 Q

3. Lorne Wigginton - 1:47.93 Q

4. Jeremy Bagshaw - 1:48.49 Q

 

Nobody under the OQT but good chance all 4 of these guys qualify for the relay depending on how many relay-only athletes there are. We also had guys like Acevedo, Knox, and Liendo scratch the final so that opened up the space for some others to qualify for their first Olympics including 32 year old Bagshaw. 1:47.56 doesn't sound like a good winning time but in 2021, the winning time was 1:49.07 and 6 guys went under that tonight.

 

Women's 100m Backstroke (OQT: 59.99)

1. Kylie Masse - 57.94 :hyper:

2. Ingrid Wilm - 59.31 Q

3. Taylor Ruck - 59.78

 

Kylie Masse is back! Her fastest time since 2021. Also great to see Wilm qualify for her first Olympics and Ruck back in form.

 

Men's 200m Breaststroke (OQT: 2:09.68)

1. Oliver Dawson - 2:12.42

2. Brayden Taivassalo - 2:12.83

3. Justice Migneault - 2:13.52

 

Dawson is just 16 years old by the way.

 

Women's 1500m Freestyle (OQT: 16:09.09)

1. Emma Finlin - 16:28.15

2. Julia Strojnowska - 16:42.99

3. Peyton Leigh - 16:59.05

 

Finlin is already qualified in open water.

    • In my opinion, Trump is a very difficult opponent: he has hard electorate, not voters and if he does something wrong, his electorate forgives him. Secondly, he is an experienced man with a TV past who is doing great in the campaign. He is old but his health is good and it`s hard to beat someone like that. In 2020, Biden won mainly because of Covid and Trump's terrible decisions (Biden also won not by that much then). In my opinion, if the Republicans had put up a polite and well-mannered politician like Mitt Romney, Harris would have had a much easier time winning against him. If Trump were weak, he wouldn`t be allowed to run again after his defeat in 2020.

    • And Ed will be back later tonight to play a melody of his top songs.    Tonight we're emanating from the incredible Goodison Park in Liverpool, which will also play host to Sunday's grand final and closing ceremony.    So let's find out a bit more about our host venue.      Built in 1892 after a dispute between the owners of Everton Football Club and Anfield Stadium (where Everton used to play) the stadium can hold a total of 39,414 people.    The stadium has played host to many memorable moments, including the vast majority Everton's 130+ years in top flight football, their miraculous last day relegation escapes, the 1893-94 FA Cup final between Notts County and Bolton Wanderers and 5 games at the 1966 World Cup including the Quarter Final between Portugal and North Korea and the Semi Final between West Germany and the the Soviet Union.    This ground was also chosen by lifelong Everton fan Sylvester Stallone to play host to the fight between Adonis Creed and "Pretty" Ricky Coclan in the 2015 Box Office film Creed.    At the end of the 2024-25 Premier League season the ground is set to be demolished and turned into a housing estate as Everton move into their new stadium Bramley Moor Dock next season. A truly fitting venue to host TISC 2024.
