I will add that Masse looked calm and in charge putting down a 58.13 in the 100m back. Taylor Ruck did not, but I'll wait till the final before passing too much judgement. 

Yea Ruck does not look good at all (in terms of performance)

Josh Liendo set a NR record in the 100m Butterfly in the Heats this morning at 51.40. 

Good to see a Canadian record from :ITA Santo Condorelli being broken.

 

Gotta say, after watching every final sessions from the US and Australian Olympic swimming trials, the Canadian trials seem like an extremely amateur production in comparison. Not surprising (the only Canadian Olympic trials that are an impressive TV production are the ones for curling) but still. I guess I should be happy there is a decent live stream at all.

Masse dropped a 57.70s at trials, 0.4s faster than her previous Canadian record. Second best time this year.

She looks so good now. And Ruck managed to get 2nd - not an amazing time but I'm feeling better about naming her to the 100m freestyle.

I remember this happened right before Rio too, she struggled at the trials but still made the teams in the relays, where she had solid performances. Lets hope she can pick it up. Without here, there is 0 chance of a pushing the Americans/Australians in the 4x100.

In other news, Georgia Ellenwood is competing at a hep, in Germany, so far about the same results in Gotzis She needs the standard to qualify, otherwise she is out, I doubt she can squeeze in another hep. before the deadline.

Day 2 of swim trials certainly not as exciting as Day 1.  Was hoping to get 1 in the W 100m Breastroke and one in the M 100m Breastroke under the A standard. 

 

It does look like Oleksiak is holding back. Really thought Sanchez would be in the top 4 too, happy for Savard though.

Sanchez should qualify in the 50


Gabe has won medals at the world juniors, but doesn't seem like he is taking the next step sadly.

I would expect Sanchez to qualify in the top 4 for the 100 too. That way Titley has options for the 4x100m and 4x200m relays depending on if her and Ruck are swimming better when the time comes.

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
