Yet the Chinese swimming team was allowed to compete in Paris with clear and proven drugs in their system. Funny how that works.

Still mad. Stole at least 4 medals from Canada. McInstosh could have gotten 7 medals in Paris if the rules were enforced.

I'm gonna be so mad if Summer gets selected for 4x100 free relay duty especially now with Penny not being there. She'll already have swum 2 x 400 free + 2 x 200 IM that day already

I'd like to think the head coach isn't dumb, especially since we likely won't be favoured to win a medal.

Quick Recap of Day 1 of World Juniors.

 

No medals but a 4th place finish on the girls 4 x 200m freestyle relay. Ella Cosgrove with the fastest split at 1:57.61 which is a big improvement on what she split at Worlds.

 

Boys 4x100m freestyle relay finished 7th. Laon Kim had the fastest split with. 49.33 leadoff.

 

Elsewhere, Dawson wasn't unable to match his prelims performance going 1:00.29 in the semis but still comfortably made it to the finals in 5th. It still ranks him 7th overall this year in the junior world rankings and he'll be in contention for a medal tomorrow.

 

In the girls 100m backstroke, Madison Kryger set a new PB of 1:00.38 to qualify 3rd for the finals. That also ranks 7th in the world this year among juniors.

 

Parker Deshayes also qualified for the boys 100m backstroke final in 8th and was a bit off his PB from Canadian trials.
