So turns out athletes can transition from being entered as relay only to OCT? The discussion over at SwimSwam must have been wrong ... :mumble:

Where did you get the info? Btw, did World Aquatics officially release the list of swimmers qualifying for Paris 2024?

I don't think either Emma Chelius or David Thomasberger have an OCT. At least according to the qualification page.

They do. Chelius has a time of 24.78 from 16th April 2023 which is inside the time of 24.82 and Thomasberger has a time of 1.55.85 from the 15th April 2023 which is inside the time of 1.56.36.

I've figured it out. Chelius's time is from the 2023 South African National Championships. Thomasberger's time is from the Q!-Cup. Neither of them were approved Olympic Qualifying meets unfortunately.

@Cinnamon Bun @Topicmaster1010 Are there any chances also for other Polish swimmers to get yet quota by OTC or rather not. Also, when final list is expected to be announced?

I think Paulina Peda could get an invite in the women's 100m butterfly.

 

In Tokyo, the final list came out 10 days before the start of the swimming competition. Hopefully it comes out earlier this year.

World Aquatics sent out an email to all national federations 2 months ago saying that no B cut swimmers may qualify.

 

Turns out it couldn't be further from the truth.

Thanks to the big nations declining quotas.

Many large nations set stringent standards at the trials. Most swimmers ended up in relays which would cost the numbers of swimmers in the individual events.

Peda (100m Fly) and Sieradzki (200m Free) can both still get invited to compete individually via OCT. Both have a decent chance but Peda is more likely than Sieradzki due to her higher rank.

    • Today, maybe there was poor wax servic, but Auchentaller loses in every race at the end, when younger competitors: Grotian, Richard, etc. are already running much faster. Vittozzi is 29 years old but unfortunately she got injured in November - if she recovers, she will still have a big chance for medals. Unfortunately, Wierer can only be a complement to relay teams.
    • Could be the waxing on the last lap fresh snow. Auchentaller, Wierer & Trabucci all fell off on the last lap and basically had the slowest skiing time there? Overall though you have a problem, days of prime Wierer & Vittozzi won't be repeated soon but then I hear the same issues in alpine skiing where there is a huge gap behind Brignone & Bassino (the latter being 28 years old already). And someone claimed Colturi would have plateau'd if she stayed with the Italian federation as well.
    • Could not watch it, despite that I'm definitely not upset :)
    • I am rooting for Team Canada in Ice hockey and Team Austria in Ski jumping
    • Finally at least one condition suitable for the dog shit we wax
    • Slovakia returns to the podium for the first time since Oslo in March 2022. To find a podium in the mass start we even have to go back to Rupholding 2019, before the covid era
    • The truth is that the entire Italian biathlon depends on one Vittozzi, who is not sure if she will return this season and her form is also questionable, because the rest of the Italian team is running poorly. Wierer is old and will never win again - she is running weaker and weaker and what is worse: she is shooting poorly. The rest of our team is running too weakly to count on any successes in the future. I don`t believe that Auchentaller or Comola will suddenly make a big progress in the run track, e.g. to the top 10, since the young French women are already much faster than them.
    • Auchentaller runs poorly, and her last rounds are awful - generally all Italian women have a problem with fitness and this is probably the problem of poor preparation before the season. If you don't run in the top 10, you can forget about successes apart from one individual race. Wierer and Vittozzi always ran in the top 10 during their prime. I don't see such potential in Auchentaller. Generally, both in biathlon and cross-country skiing Italian teams aren`t able to train a few good runners for many years and this is probably a systemic problem - look at France, for example: how many good runners have they been able to train in biathlon in recent years...
    • First winter podium for Slovakia! Amazing. Nice to see us finally on the podium this winter. Feels like a good step forward for biathlon here, hopefully, a sign of better things to come. Solid result, let’s hope for more like this.
