I can see them going either way with Wog or Angus. If Angus can show that she's capable of repeating her performance from the Canadian Trials then they should go with her. Perhaps they'll give Angus the spot in the heats and replace her if she fails to go sub 1:08.

McIntosh easily into the finals; Cieplucha misses out though, little bit disappointing

 

Men's medley fails to qualify. Honestly didn't look too bad aside from the breaststroke leg.

 

Meanwhile, Wog with a 1:08 :facepalm:. Guess Canada's going to use Nichol in the final.

 

In summary, could we please find a good breaststroker.

Going to take a break from this site for a bit. See you guys soon!

On that note - do we know what happened to Faith Knelson? She took a year off for injury but it's been two years and I don't think she's back.

I think Wog did well enough to be selected for the final. Nicol won't do much better (and is probably not mentally prepared to race), but they could slip in Angus if she showed improvement in training during the week though if she did, they probably would have tested her out in the heats.

 

Canada really needs to improve their breaststroke swimmers for both the men's and women's, our medley relays suffer a great deal. The don't even have to be threatening for an individual medal. A woman who can consistently dip under 1:07 would make Canada a gold medal contender in the relay.

Nicol is in. I guess her time in the mixed relay prelims was marginally better than Wog's heat.

I forgot she was in the mixed relay. Yes, she was around a second faster than Wog, if she can repeat that we'll be in a good position for a medal.

    • I still remember how Demi Moore swept the Razzies for Striptease almost 30 years ago and she won Golden Globes now? The acting industry must be short on talent, scripts or everything else   This being said I don't really watch too many new TV shows these days least of all those Marvel/DC action hero stuff that has taken over in the last decade plus. I know it's a box office gold mine but completely not my taste.
    • Yeah, Anora has been really hard for me to place in my personal rankings. It's a fun and enjoyable film for the most part, but it didn't quite generate the same awe or excitement from me that a few others have this season. Still, I was quite shocked to see Madison lose yesterday because she did a deliver a phenomenal performance in my opinion.    The best actress "race" still feels rather open to me, which adds a bit of suspense to each body's nominations.  
    • Anyone remember that  athlete in a European Champs who was given a false start, then protested and got a re-run?  And then false-started twice.   Was kind of like that. 
    • Justin Trudeau has resigned as party leader and will resign as prime minister of Canada once the Liberal Party choses a new leader. Once a new leader in selected there will likely be elections shortly after.
    • I'm not surprised. Colturi seems to be trending in the right direction (duh) and the rest of the Italian women's team is nowhere except veterans Brignone and Goggia. The Delagos have regressed badly for whatever reason and even Bassino has kinda stalled despite still being in her prime. The shit will soon hit the fan but it's probably to late before the next OG. It would be ridiculous if Albania wins more medals in alpine skiing than Italy
    • The regular season is over. Tennesse Titans get #1 overall pick for the 2025 draft after NE Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills back-ups on the last day.   Mike Evans (Buccaneers) ended his 11th season with 11th mark of 1,000 receiving yards which ties Jerry Rice's all-time record. Bucs needed to run one more play to get him 5 yards he needed instead of kneeling down a game they had won already.   Wild Card Schedule:   My picks: Chargers, Ravens, Bills, Eagles, Commanders, Vikings
