Some Americans on SwimSwam are now saying that the w4x100 relay is now competitive and they could win it 💀

Is that even a debate 

The Americans are gonna be much faster this year than last but Aussies are still the favourites. That final was a very nervy affair so I think they'll be faster in Paris.

If I remember correctly, MOC, McKeon and Jack were top 3 last year with times in the 52.4-52.6 range. The US had a good trials and everyone was saying how they would challenge Australia 

 

We all know how that turned out.

This page says it will be on France TV and BeINsport 

 

Maybe us foreigners can watch on france.tv using a VPN? Works for Roland Garros.

It just the fact of how we have won that race every games since 2012, which was also a terrible Olympics swimming wise for us. I’d be absolutely astonished if we somehow didn’t win it. It has been so reliable

Shayna Jack with a 24.02 statement swim in the women’s 50m freestyle heats at the Australian Olympic Trials!

 

Other news, Kyle Chalmers scratches out of the men’s 100m butterfly, hardly surprising given he’s dealing with a back spasm and illness. 
 

Really hope Cody Simpson can qualify today, although it’ll be really tough

Not sure if this would be thread or the Swimming 2024, but... I was curious and took the 2 best times from american swimmers between march 2023-24 to check what would be the US swimming "selection".

It would have 20 male athletes, 18 female athletes, plus 3 men and 2 women to fill the top6 in 4x100m and 4x200m. The 12th relay only quota would go (in my mind obviously) to Simone Manuel, 7th from 4x100m.

 

Do you think the official selection will be very different from this one? Can Dressel comeback in time?
