I would say it’s more likely post Olympics that he could give it a try. Anyone that competes in 800 or 1500m freestyle in pool can compete provided there's not already 2 from their NOC in the open water event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone qualified at 800m or 1,500m can enter the marathon swimming event (up to national limits of 2) so he could swim it he wants to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicIRL 5,031 Posted June 5 Author #254 Share Posted June 5 Cool, never knew this rule existed. That would be fun to see him give it a try, could be a John Treacy moment all over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duineeile 3 Posted June 5 #255 Share Posted June 5 Yeah would be very interesting if he did do it, you'd have to say he'd be very much an outsider given his lack of experience at competitive open water level but then its the Olympics and mad stuff happens. I'm making a bold prediction of two agonising 4th places in the pool followed by a sensational gold medal in the open water race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Kramer 6 Posted June 7 #256 Share Posted June 7 Have to be fancying him for at least one medal in the pool, if not two, with Hafnaoui out. Open water swim would be a good free shot for him after that, why not go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Kramer 6 Posted June 10 #260 Share Posted June 10 So, where are we on Rhasidat's Olympic medal hopes after another PB tonight? Three from four for the medals out of Adeleke, Kaczmarek, Miller-Uibo and Paulino - or is there a bolter to come from somewhere that can run 49 flat? Would be concerned she might just get squeezed out by the other three but all to play for at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
