This now means that the following athletes have also been invited to the games via OCT along with those aforementioned athletes ranked 1-6 in my list: 

 

1. ( - Martine Damborg - Women's 100m Fly - 871 points) 

2.  - Santiago Grassi - Men’s 100m Fly - 870 points 

3.  - Agostina Hein - Women’s 800m Free - 863 points

6.  - John Shortt - Men’s 200m Back - 855 points

No. Swim Ireland denied today that Shortt received an invitation.

He must've had his invite rejected by Swim Ireland then. Would make sense since he was allowed to do Junior Euros.

No. They said that an invite would have to come from World Aquatics. They previously committed to accepting all invitations.

I think it just re-enforces the point that World Athletics have their own procedures and while some here may believe certain invitations are inevitable, they take some time to be processed.

100%, as if Cabanes has had her invite accepted then Shortt should (if all the rules are followed) get one as well.

I also doubt Francisca Martins from Portugal got the invite. They have announced nothing so far.

Quah Ting Wen was omitted from Singapore’s swimming team after Gan Ching Hwee received an invitation to compete at the Games. Sad news as this would have been her fourth Olympics.

It seems like World Aquatics actually did prioritise sending OCT invites to relay only swimmers, which isn’t what the rules say. Interesting…

 Berke Saka appears on Turkey's official delegation list which means that he must have gotten an OCT invite in the men's 200m Individual Medley

Is there anywhere we can find  a final list o qualifiers in Swimming? World Aquatics site is absolutely useless.
