Wow, Ceccon and Armstrong barely make it to the semis

Looked like they misjudged their heat swims rather than not on form.

 Maca Ceballos hit the OQT for Paris in the 100 BR! Also a SA record and qualified to the semis 

[Adriano 625]

2 quotas for Poland (Masiuk and Sztandera) Two polish national recorcs. And Kacper Stokowski was so close in 100m backstroke. 3 semifinals- great. Masiuk had a third time im 100m backstrong, we have some chances for final.

Just got to say that it was really nice seeing so much participation in this thread yesterday after what felt like a dead 2022 World Championships thread.

I’m not following these too closely, but I do enjoy reading everyone’s thoughts. Mass participation threads are the best

Lydia Jacoby  doesn't make it out of the heats.

 

Sorry - She was 14th.

She did, she qualified in 14th. Barely made it in.

Yeah, I misread the FINA site.  Thought they were putting  "Qualified" below your time, not above it.

Wasn't able to watch this morning's prelims,  surprised to see nobody mention  Meilutye's 1:04.67 (#8 Performance All-Time) in the 100m breaststroke heats. Great to see her swimming at her best.

Just came here to mention that  her comeback to the swimming world is insane, albeit I'm somewhat nervous she swam this good, this early.

 

Hopefully she'll pull through the semi and final with a similar time
