What a great time for Liendo.  That would have gotten him a close 4th in Tokyo and a silver in Rio!

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

Breaststroke is obviously the weak spot for Canada.  The women would have won the gold in the medley relay with a better leg there (not blaming Pickrem!).  Masse had the fastest back, MacNeil had the fastest fly and Penny had the 2nd fastest free.  Now with the mixed medley, Canada needs to find someone competent in the breast given their depth at other strokes.

There was Faith Knelson a few years ago but she took the Olympic year off for surgery and I don’t think came back. I was hopeful she would be the missing link but maybe it ain’t so.

Canada's best (arguably) para-swimmer Aurelie Rivard had a medical emergency during a race at the World Championships.

Hopefully everything is okay!

So for those who missed it, a more detailed version of the Paris 2024 schedule came out on Monday. Thought it would be interesting to analyze what Summer McIntosh's potential schedule could look like. Below are all the events that she COULD potentially swim. Of course she won't swim all of them but looking listing all the events down could help figure out what she could drop and what she may compete in. H means heats, SF means semifinals, F means final.

 

  Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8 Day 9
Morning 400m Free H 200m Free H 400m IM H   200m Fly H  

200m IM H

800m Free H

   
Evening

400m Free F

4x100m Free Relay F?

200m Free SF

400m IM F

200m Free F

  200m Fly SF

200m Fly F

4x200m Free Relay F

200m IM SF

200m IM F

800m Free F

 

You would think that she definitely would swim the 400m Freestyle, 400m IM, 200m butterfly and the final of the 4x200m Freestyle relay. 4x100m relay probably won't happen since we have good 100m freestyle depth already but who knows in two years.

 

So the biggest problem is that the finals of two of her best events, the 400m IM and 200m Freestyle fall on the same night. They're the first and last session of the night so pulling off the double is possible but given her rigorous schedule, it's probably not going to happen. In this case she'll probably drop the 200 Free since she's a bigger gold medal favourite in the IM and she would have the day 2 evening session off.

 

Then there's the clash between the 200m IM and 800 Free. The finals are back to back so doubling is impossible. It's entirely possible that she doesn't swim any of them since she didn't swim both events at worlds but they are the only events during the final 1/3 of the meet so she'll probably try to go for one of the events. In this case, I would think she would go for the 200m IM since given her event entries recently, she seems to like that more.

Concerning results at Junior Pan Pacs. One bronze through 2 days...no relay medals in 3 events. 

Yeah definitely a bit concerning but a lot of them have had long summers of competition so maybe it's just fatigue? Also the medal tally would probably look a lot different if Summer was competing :d

    • need to work on the celebrations... or just drop them?   Btw, these jerseys suck and I remember Zambia playing in all white with red numbers. At least they have orange on national flag but still...    
    • British Columbia in general and Vancouver in particular are awesome and it’s great more people got to discover it thanks to Vancouver 2010.
    • And of course the British being famous for curmudgeons, there were always plenty of curmudgeons to quote.  Then of course from the opening ceremony and the cycle race on the very first morning it was obviously going to be triumph, so everyone just shut up for a while.  
    • Yep, the amount of emergency services I heard at some point was a little extreme (for our little town), so I checked what was going on and saw they were all being called to a specific location. Until then I thought maybe it was part of a parade of trucks and agricultural vehicles that was on it's way from the next town over, decorated with lights and stuff.   Since I knew it was on the parade route, I was sure one of those big vehicles had hit people somehow (there were, besides the many vehicles, also two helicopters on the way, meaning it certainly wasn't about a single victim).   We picked our bikes and went to take a look, absolutely chaos in the area. Never saw so many services combined together, fire trucks from 20km away, ambulance after ambulance came racing by, people frantically trying to make way for them (the roads weren't really closed yet).   While there we heard someone who had been close say that the parade hadn't arrived yet and what seemed to have happened was that a car from the other side came onto the roundabout and simply never turned. "It's a massive drama over there, unbelievable", he said.   Quite quickly rumours started spreading of course, the first one turned out to be true: a middle aged (local) woman was behind the wheel and seems to have become unwell. Local security camera showed the car going at high speed right before the roundabout.   Plenty of rumours going around in terms of who were involved of course, and people keeping each other up to date to see if they know this or that family and such...   Never expected my little town to be big news in the Netherlands, even including some breaking broadcasts, live reporters and everything, damn. By far the biggest thing to happen here in my memory  
    • This is the home town of our very own @heywooduand @brunamoura    
    • For me, these were very good Olympics, and British sport benefited greatly from them, and is still benefiting. I fear it will be much worse here. Canada also benefited very good on Vancouver 2010 – this is very good see in the medal standings of subsequent Winter Games after 2010 and earlier.
    • Nobody hates Britain more than the British media so… I recall it being quite a pessimistic tone before the London games started.
    • I'm curious what was written before London 2012? Did they attack their own country, or did they just keep quiet?
    • Other winners at the PanAm Sports Awards Junior 2025            
    • Very true point.  Although I think at this point everyone is just holding their collective breath until the test event.  The NHL isn't going to rage anymore until then because it's not like that would make the arena progress go any quicker
