Shane Ryan and John Shortt seem to be entitled to invitations having achieved the OCT. Any word if they will get to compete?

Presumably yes as Swim Ireland said they would be inclined to accept OCT invites given the high level needed to actually achieve those standards.

So Ryan could compete in the 100 free because he got the OCT but not the 50m even though he achieved the OQT. I know there are rules but he’s going to be there anyway.

It would be utterly bizarre if that turned out to be the case and given Swim Ireland's strange decisions in the past, at this point who knows. But let's see when we get more info about the invited swimmers.

John Shortt being listed as qualified in 200m backstroke on Wikipedia through OCT, not Shane Ryan in 100m Freestyle though, wonder if this is true

Irish swimming said yesterday that they haven’t received any invitation for Shortt

Nothing on Conor Ferguson either.

Given their generally weird behaviour regards selection I reckon they're probably hiding the invites 

[dodge 1,041]

I don’t mean to sound harsh on some of the non-Irish posters on these forums but some of them are adamant on certain qualifications and then they’re shocked when it turns out they made a mistake.

 

Swim Ireland have said they’ll accept OCT invitations so let’s see if any happen

[duineeile 5]

Ah yeah the system is so convoluted and all national teams including relay teams need to be finalised, and universality quotas allocated and acceoted/rejected before any OCT invites can be officially offered. People probably making educated calculations on OCT invites but might be a but longer before officially confirmed

[dodge 1,041]

What have we (Olympic Federation) left to confirm? 
 

The reallocations and the relay squads in Athletics

 

Any OCT invites (may not happen) in swimming

 

The golf team 

 

road cycling team

 

Think everything else is officially confirmed?
