Rebecca Smith will probably 

But it doesn't clash with any of her events so it'd be strange for her to just give up a relay medal opportunity without good reason.

Can’t give up a relay medal opportunity if you weren’t even selected in the first place :p

 

Rebecca Smith will be more than enough to advance to the final, and with MSH’s big schedule it would probably be best to save her for her other events. I’d even put Maggie MacNeil over her for prelims.

:USA US Olympic Trials: Day 5

 

Finals:

 

Women's 100m Freestyle (OQT: 53.61)

1. Kate Douglass - 52.56 Q

2. Torri Huske - 52.93 Q

3. Gretchen Walsh - 53.13 q

4. Simone Manuel - 53.25 q

5. Abbey Weitzeil - 53.70 q?

6. Catie DeLoof/Erika Connolly - 53.86 (Swimoff needed)

 

Very good time for Douglass. There'll be a swimoff in tomorrow's finals session to decide who gets the final spot on the relay team.

 

Men's 200m Butterfly (OQT: 1:55.78)

1. Thomas Heilman - 1:54.50 Q

2. Luca Urlando - 1:55.08 Q?

3. Mason Laur - 1:55.37

4. Dare Rose - 1:55.70

5. Colby Mefford - 1:56.43

6. Jack Dahlgren - 1:56.63

7. Trenton Julian - 1:57.07

8. Zach Harting - 1:57.69

 

I believe Heilman becomes the youngest US male Olympian swimmer since 2000. Also happy for Urlando to make his first Olympic team. He was also a junior star but was dealing with injuries for the past few years.

 

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

1. Katie Ledecky - 15:37.35 Q

2. Katie Grimes - 15:57.77 Q

3. Ashley Twichell - 16:08.07

4. Kate Hurst - 16:09.77

5. Aurora Roghair - 16:09.79

6. Rachel Stege - 16:10.03

7. Erica Sullivan - 16:29.88

8. Mariah Denigan - 16:34.19

 

In shocking news, Katie Ledecky wins. Easy qualification for both her and Grimes. With both of them doubling up, the rest of the female 2nd place finishers are now officially on the US team.

 

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

1. Matt Fallon - 2:06.54 Q (American Record)

2. Josh Matheny - 2:08.86 Q?

3. AJ Pouch - 2:09.05

4. Will Licon - 2:09.38

5. Daniel Roy - 2:09.44

6. Nic Fink - 2:09.56

7. Jake Foster - 2:09.64

8. Josh Bey - 2:11.66

 

After qualifying for the finals in 1st place at the 2021 Olympic Trials, Matt Fallon couldn't maintain his momentum and finished last. But he wasn't going to make the same mistake setting an American record in this race. He'll be firmly in the medal conversation. After barely missing qualifying in the 100m breaststroke, Josh Matheny got the job done here to likely qualify for his first Olympics. Heartbreaking for Jake Foster who missed the opportunity to go to the Olympics alongside his brother. Also heartbreaking for Will Licon who finished 4th here after finishing 3rd at the last two Olympic Trials.

 

Men's 100m Freestyle (OQT: 48.34)

1. Chris Guiliano - 47.38 Q

2. Jack Alexy - 47.47 Q

3. Caeleb Dressel - 47.53 q

4. Hunter Armstrong - 47.78 q

5. Ryan Held - 47.82 q?

6. Matt King - 47.94 q?

7. Destin Lasco - 48.14

8. Macguire McDuff - 48.64

 

Not surprisingly, the final was slower than the heats and semifinals (likely due to all the big men swimming next to each other and creating waves). You can add Dressel to the list of defending champions who won't get to the chance to repeat. Although he still put up a solid time and will be on the relays. Great to see his comeback. The 4x100m freestyle relay record could be in jeopardy. With the lack of doubles on the men's side so far, it's possible that Matt King may not be able to go the Olympics. Destin Lasco scratched the 200m backstroke heats this morning (an event he was favoured to qualify in) to focus on this race and unfortunately, it didn't work out for him.

 

Semi-finals:

 

Advancing to Women's 200m Butterfly Final:

1. Regan Smith - 2:04.91

2. Alex Shackell - 2:06.10

3. Emma Sticklen - 2:07.44

4. Dakota Luther - 2:08.36

5. Lindsay Looney - 2:08.60

6. Tess Howley - 2:08.79

7. Lucy Bell - 2:08.90

8. Charlotte Hook - 2:09.50

 

Could very well see a 2:03 from Regan Smith tomorrow. She and Alex Shackell look like the favourites to qualify.

 

Advancing to Men's 200m Backstroke Final:

1. Keaton Jones - 1:55.49

2. Ryan Murphy - 1:55.69

3. Jack Aikins - 1:55.95

4. Tommy Janton - 1:56.87

5. Daniel Diehl - 1:57.29

6. Jay Litherland - 1:57.59

7. Hunter Tapp - 1:57.79

8. Caleb Maldari - 1:57.99

 

Really impressive swim from Keaton Jones to get the top seed. That swim ranks 3rd in the world this year. With Lasco scratching, the battle for the 2nd spot is wide open assuming Murphy qualifies.

 

Advancing to Women's 200m Breaststroke Final:

1. Kate Douglass - 2:21.23

2. Lilly King - 2:22.45

3. Alex Walsh - 2:22.81

4. Ella Nelson - 2:23.84

5. Kaelyn Gridley - 2:25.82

6. Anna Keating - 2:27.60

7. Raya Mellott - 2:28.61

8. Isabelle Odgers - 2:29.03

 

A bit slower than the morning heats for Kate Douglass here but she had the 100m freestyle in the same session so it makes sense. Looks like a battle between King and Walsh for the 2nd spot. Notably, 46 year old Gabrielle Rose finished 16th in 2:30.44

So much for all the talk about the US women beating the Australian women

I will admit I'm a little relieved but the Americans are bound to figure it out eventually. Hopefully Wunsch develops into another 52 low (or faster) swimmer so we can keep the legacy going.

    • Meanwhile, it's about 7 hours to go until we can really start getting some first results other than the 3-3 in Dixville Notch     This is more or less what we're going to start the night with, but probably it's going to come down to Pennsylvania in the end.    
    • Has everyone seen the leaked report on the Algerian boxer?
    • Is the Grand Final officially this Saturday?
    • Huh, there's still countries buying F-16's?     Coincidentally we said goodbye to our last ones a little over a month ago (Belgian ones are still sometimes flying here though).
    • Yeah, Harris might not be great, it is still definitely better than having an outright psychopath as president, again. At the very least it should be someone who is at least capable and willing to, you know, communicate like an adult. Trump very clearly can not do that, although one would assume his childish yelling and overall immensely bizarre way of speaking (from his intonation to his 'we did great, everyone thought it was great, they couldnt believe how great I was!') must appeal to a certain kind of person, I suppose.
    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
