Hugo Houle is obviously not going to medal but he's getting good TV time as the best early starter.

Confirmed: Pickrem out of the 200 breast.

Oleksiak and Sanchez safely onto the semis, looking good.

Ellie Black out of all around due to injury...

Ya she ain't gonna be in the medley relay at this rate :/

Hopefully Wog gives us confidence tonight.

The women's 4x200m heat lineup tonight is Savard, Rebecca Smith, Harvey and Pickrem. They are wisely giving Oleksiak and McIntosh the end of the morning off. A bit surprised Sanchez isn't in the lineup, though.

 

Also this may explain why Pickrem scratched the 200m breast.

I guess after seeing Penny and Summer she decided she has a better chance in the relays than the breaststroke.

Also I believe Ruck is still the Canadian record holder in the 200m free. I really wonder why her form is so bad right now :/

Looking at the splits from the relay heats - Rebecca Smith with a 1:55.9 and Marie-Sophie Harvey with a 1:57:5 looks promising. Not sure if they are going to get Sanchez to double up too.
