Penny OLeksiak was leading through her heat at the 50 in the 100m butterfly but then just stopped and got out of the pool. I have seen nothing like this before. I wonder what happened.

According to Devin Heroux, Sydney Pickrem told him that was the plan for her to swim the first 50m. She honestly looked incredible in the first 50, I was so excited to see her return to the 100m fly.

Thank you! I found it odd she was entered in the 100 anyways since it came out last year it was not good on her body.

It should also be said that her time on the first 50 was under the A standard for the 50.

To bad Swimming Canada doesn't acknowledge the non-Olympic events.

Liendo! What an impressive time in 100m fly. Super impressed by Knox getting under the A standard.

The 200m free final is going to be so intense. McIntosh, Oleksiak, Sanchez, Savard, Ruck and Smith. Such an incredibly deep field.

Yikes, the breaststroke times for both men and women...
