Is this the selection meet for short course world champs?

yes and no...

 

I mean, the core of the team was already determined on the basis of last season's World Champs and European Champs results.

 

then we have a time table for all the swimmers who didn't qualify before.

 

to be precise, all the Budapest 2022 medallists and the Rome 2022 Gold medallists are already qualified by right, then 2 or 3 swimmers earned their ticket in the recent world cup races + last week's meet in Genua and finally those who swim fast enough in this meet also qualify.

 

but the required times are almost impossible to get (basically it's the 8th ranked time of last year's Short Course World Champ), as our federation doesn't want to have a big team flying to Australia because of the economic struggle they're living.

 

for instance, this morning only Pilato (women's 100m Breast), Cerasuolo (men's 50 Breast) and Ciampi (men's 400m Free) swam the qualifying time.

 

and this afternoon only the top 2 in the men's 100m Free and in the women's 200m IM went below those crazy marks.

 

and Pilato and Miressi were already qualified through last season's events (however a few swimmers would eventually fly to Australia because of the relays, too).

Australia used to use the time to make the top 8 at the previous global meet (Worlds or Olympics) as the qualifying time for the next one and Japan and Great Britain use similarly harsh QTs (even the US couldn't fill all available spots with some of these QTs). Worlds this year was the first in a long time Australia used the FINA QTs. It was horrible to see swimmers left home that would've been taken to the Olympics if they swam under a different nationality that uses the FINA QTs.

we always have not so strict rules...we can't afford to leave home any decent talent...

 

normally all the global medallists from the previous season are prequalified to the following year's main event, then we use the time table (but looking at the 16th ranked of the last World/Olympic meet) and still our coaches have some discretional margin.

 

this time, as I wrote, they have to keep the team quite small because of the economical situation and the flight to AUS being very expensive.

 

we'll see what our coaches do after this meet.

the whole group of swimmers of the men's 200m Free are individually outside the qualification mark, but most likely they will all qualify to the SC Worlds through the Relay (today there were also another guy @ 1.44. and 4 guys @ 1.45.)

 

Silvia Di Pietro might also be taken into consideration because she almost matched the required times in the W 50m Free and Fly despite being sick this week, because of her experience and because she's a 25m pool specialist.

 

the last session of the championship is just underway.

Ilaria Cusinato is a strange case: she swam the required time in the W 200m Fly at the Berlin WC stage, but that wasn't a sanctioned meet.

in Genua and here she didn't match any required mark, but she got close and won both races with comfortable margin.

then she swam the required time in the W 200m IM, but she was only 3rd in that race.

I'm really curious to see what the coaches are going to do with her. Personally, I think she deserves to fly to the SC Worlds.

Ledecky beats McIntosh in the last race of the year (or first of the long course season, whatever...) by 0.08s. A fun one to watch next year in the Pro Swims now that Summer is based on Sarasota.
