:USA US Olympic Trials: Day 2

 

Finals:

 

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

1. Carson Foster - 4:07.64 Q

2. Chase Kalisz - 4:09.39 Q?

3. Jay Litherland - 4:12.34

4. Ian Grum - 4:15.06

5. Tommy Bried - 4:15.15

6. Kyle Ponsler - 4:16.53

7. Gregg Enoch - 4:17.64

8. Danny Berlitz - 4:17.65

 

Carson Foster gets redemption from his 3rd place finish 3 years ago. Really happy for the guy. He was clearly really emotional about it after the race. Chase Kalisz will also likely be headed to his 3rd Olympics.

 

Women's 100m Butterfly (OQT: 57.62)

1. Gretchen Walsh - 55.31 Q

2. Torri Huske - 55.52 Q?

3. Regan Smith - 55.62

4. Claire Curzan - 57.47

5. Kelly Pash - 57.72

6. Beata Nelson - 57.80

7. Lillie Nordmann - 57.92

8. Emma Sticklen - 58.44

 

Insanely fast times. With this race, we had Gretchen Walsh swimming the 2nd fastest performance of all time and Torri Huske and Regan Smith becoming the 3rd and 4th fastest performers of all time. Walsh and Huske will enter Paris as the favorites for gold and silver.

 

Men's 100m Breaststroke (OQT: 59.49)

1. Nic Fink - 59.08 Q

2. Charlie Swanson - 59.16 Q?

3. Josh Matheny - 59.23

4. Liam Bell - 59.40

5. Noah Nichols - 59.69

6. Jake Foster - 59.84

7. Luke Rodarte - 59.85

8. Michael Andrew - 1:00.11

 

There were some doubts about him qualifying yesterday but Nic Fink delivered his best race of trials tonight to qualify in 1st for his 2nd Olympic Team. Charlie Swanson also continued his good form to likely qualify for his first Olympic Team.

 

Semi-finals:

 

Advancing to Men's 200m Freestyle Final:

1. Kieran Smith - 1:45.39

2. Luke Hobson - 1:45.58

3. Drew Kibler - 1:45.82

4. Jake Mitchell - 1:46.43

5. Blake Pieroni - 1:46.52

6. Brooks Curry - 1:46.60

7. Chris Guiliano - 1:46.83

8. Aaron Shackell - 1:46.95 (Won swimoff)

 

Advancing to Women's 100m Breaststroke Final:

1. Lilly King - 1:05.57

2. Kaitlyn Dobler - 1:06.42

3. Emma Weber - 1:06.48

4. Lydia Jacoby - 1:06.66

5. Kaelyn Gridley - 1:06.67

6. Alex Walsh - 1:06.87

7. Ella Nelson - 1:07.41

8. McKenzie Siroky - 1:07.73

 

Should be an easy qualification for King. Lots of people thought Jacoby would be a lock for the 2nd spot but it looks like that won't quite be the case here. McKenzie Siroky qualifying for the final is pretty impressive since she's an ice hockey player and only started to swim full time recently. Also the 46 year old Gabrielle Rose placed 10th in a new PB of 1:08.32

 

Advancing to Men's 100m Backstroke Final:

1. Ryan Murphy - 52.65

2. Adam Chaney - 53.08

3. Jack Aikins - 53.23

4. Hunter Armstrong - 53.57

5. Tommy Janton - 53.61

6. Jack Wilkening - 53.70

7. Justin Ress - 53.78

8. Will Modglin - 53.83

 

A heart stopping moment happened in the 2nd semifinal where Hunter Armstrong slipped off the starting blocks and was way behind. However, he managed to still finish 2nd and qualify. Assuming there aren't any issues in the final, he and Murphy should have no trouble qualifying.

 

Advancing to Women's 200m Freestyle Final:

1. Katie Ledecky - 1:55.25

2. Claire Weinstein - 1:55.86

3. Paige Madden - 1:56.36

4. Erin Gemmell - 1:56.53

5. Katie Grimes - 1:57.19

6. Alex Shackell - 1:57.42

7. Anna Peplowski - 1:57.55

8. Simone Manuel - 1:57.63

 

You will notice relay regular Bella Sims not listed. That's because she finished 17th in prelims and failed to qualify for the semifinals. This was after a disastrous 400m freestyle performance yesterday. Unfortunately, it looks like her chances of making the Olympic Team are basically over.

@Topicmaster1010 I don’t disagree with you about them being the top two favourites in the women’s 100m butterfly,  but for silver there’s a bunch of names really close to Huske. Yufei, MacNeil, Kohler, and McKeon (didn’t have the best of Trials, but I can never count her out) will also be in the mix for the minor medals.

McKeon's shoulders are playing up so you can count her out.

This result is very satisfying

What exactly is it? 

Revealed during trials that her preparation has been undermined by shoulder pain. I don't think the problem has gone away so I wouldn't expect too much improvement from her.

Might be in the minority here, but I don’t get the MA hate. Seems like a nice dude. 

It's more so his parents that I dislike for controlling his life and ruining his swimming career (his dad is his coach).

 

The 100m breaststroke result is satisfying since his dad thinks his training style is superior to that of other coaches.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
    • More information has been released on the first edition of the World Athletics Ultimate Championships in 2026, including the events. Mixed 4x100m relay will make its global debut.    https://x.com/worldathletics/status/1859915183071662442?s=46&t=_XjleMNZelg_AVmJy7FfWA
