And now the long wait for a team announcement begins... my picks... all the 23 swimmers with Priority 1, 2, 3 and 5 then, Anderson, Bird, Cox, Evans, McMillan, Wilby and Whittle and yes, I think they will fill all the 30 spots...actually they might even go up to 31 and take also Hanlon they need all those backups for the relays Topicmaster1010 and maestro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilby is different because he actually is back up for Peaty in two medal possible events. However, it might be McMillan who misses out if the Litchfields and Bird are considered adequate 4 x 2 backup. Guy and Dean can definitely swim the heats. In a good world both Scott and Richards get a rest, but this is not a good world. However, if you could find other places to rest those two (4 x 100 free heats using whittle and possibly guy or even Proud) and men 4x1 medley using dean), you could put one in the 4 x 2 heat alone with Guy and Dean, and they would almost certainly be able to carry Bird or Max Litchfield in that scenario and still make the final. FWIW I'd prefer to take 31 and bring Hanlon for insurance. Edited April 8 by mpjmcevoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topicmaster1010 2,638 Posted April 11 #658 Share Posted April 11 Quick midweek update on some trials/national meets this week: Hungary Most of the highlights have already been mentioned by other users on the forum. However, one swim was missed. Yesterday in the men's 200 IM, Gabor Zombori swam 1:57.88 to beat his lifetime best by over a second. That swim gets him under the OQT needed for the Olympics. South Africa (After 3 of 6 days) Josh has already mentioned Schoenmaker's time. However, in the same race, Kaylene Corbett also went 2:23.71 to also confirm her ticket to Paris. She has been 2:22 in the qualification period at WUGS. Pieter Coetze also went 1:55.85 in the 200m backstroke to confirm his spot in Paris. Matt Sates has the OQT in the 200m butterfly but wasn't quite able to clear the OQT at this meet. However, I believe South Africa does accept OQT's from outside the national championships if no swimmer hits it there. New Zealand (After 3 of 5 days) Eve Thomas successfully added the 1500m freestyle to her event lineup to go alongside the 400m and 800m freestyles. She won in 16:07.46 to get under the OQT. Hazel Ouwehand established a New Zealand Record in the Women's 100m Butterfly. Her time of 57.43 gets her a ticket to Paris. Erika Fairweather has been in fine form going 1:55.45 and 4:02.35 in the 200 and 400m freestyles. She's already qualified in both events. Lewis Clareburt is already in fine form. He went 1:47.18 and 3:46.85 in the 200 and 400m freestyles. Both PB's and the latter is under the OCT. These set him up well for his better 200m butterfly and 200m IM events later in the meet where he is still hunting down the OQT's. Despite achieving the OQT at the 2023 World Championships, Andrew Jeffcoat is in danger of missing the Olympics. He already failed to hit the OQT in the 100m backstroke and has one more chance in the 200m backstroke here. maestro, dullard, Pasolini and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We‘ll see how it translates to the 100 fly. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
