intoronto 4,251 Posted June 23, 2021 #1022 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Overholt has scratched the 400im, meaning she won;t be going to Tokyo, unless someone else doesn't hit the standard tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda think she realized she wasn't going to be on the top of her form this meet and decided to go out with the win with the 200m Fly. It sounds like she may retire soon.

intoronto 4,251 Posted June 23, 2021 #1026 Share Posted June 23, 2021 The men will likely just have 8 Swimmers in Tokyo: Hayden, Gaziev, Kisil, Liendo, Knox, Mastrematteo, Pratt and Thormeyer The women will likely have 12 swimmers: Sanchez, Cieplucha, Masse, Macneil, Savard, McIntosh, Oleksiak, Wog, Pickrem, Ruck, Bellio, R. Smith (likely for the 4x200). For the women, all of those swimmers have an individual race, except Smith, so someone like Nicol for the breaststroke might be named to lighten the load on Wog.

Talk about a tiny team. It was 30 (10 men, 20 women) in Rio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james89 447 Posted June 23, 2021 #1028 Share Posted June 23, 2021 They must be bringing more than 20. It seems like a bit of a missed opportunity to not bring some of the Fina B qualifiers, especially the young ones like Eric Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of swimmers are getting multiple races. The men that didn't make it are relatively young too... hoping they can develop like the women Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james89 447 Posted June 23, 2021 #1030 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Byron McDonald said on the commentary to expect a team that could be as high as 23 or 24 swimmers to be announced likely tomorrow but maybe later tonight. I really do hope that in events where a Canadian didn't hit the A standard but are younger and a possibility for future world championships or Olympics are part of the team.
