My understanding is that it depends if she got to enter the individual event only because she was a relay swimmer already or because she got a FINA B invite. IIRC relay only swimmers can enter individual events where they have the B cut.

I think she had the A standard from before trials.

What a terrible day for Canada.

Another 4th!

Have to wonder if the Portuguese guy was baiting Shady with hunching over and being so "tired" right before throwing him.  

 

Oh well, good effort.

5th, not 4th.

Yeah, technically.  I was just being facetious.

Other than CBP and arguably Oleksiak in the 200m free we haven't had a single surprise medal yet, so I find how things are going a little disappointing so far tbh (the women's 4x100m free relay winning silver was a surprise, but they were pretty secured for a coming in bronze).

Summer McIntosh finishes 11th in the 800m free, with a PB.

Can't wait to see her in Paris.

I'm pretty interested to see how she does at the next two worlds, too.
