Canada at the 2023 WA World Aquatics Championships

Relay lineups for prelims:

 

Men's 4x100 free: Gaziev -> Acevedo -> Fullum-Huot -> Liendo

 

Pretty much the A lineup. 3/4ths of a quality team. Glad Liendo is on the end so he can hopefully hunt down some teams in front of him. Wouldn't be surprised if they made the final or didn't make the final

 

Women's 4x100m free: MacNeil -> Harvey -> Savard -> Ruck

 

Looks like we've opted for the veteran swimmers over the youngsters. Very risky to put Ruck on anchor if she isn't in form. Hopefully her being on anchor means that the coaches are confident in her swimming.

Good start for Harvey! She qualifies for the semis in 3rd with a time of 2:09.65

Another PB! Brown in the 400 free

MacNeil and Savard qualify for the 100m butterfly semifinals, in 5th and 16th.

 Kharun ties Liendo's Canadian Record with a 23.27 in the 50 butterfly heats! Both him and Liendo qualify for the semifinals in T9th and T15th.

Summer easily through to the final. Jansen with a 4:12 in prelims though. That does not bode well for the 4x200 relay

[intoronto 5,771]

Wigginton with a huge PB

[Topicmaster1010 4,311]

Wigginton 4:13.75 400 IM! That's a PB. That 4:12.50 OQT looks within reach now

 

Edit: Just made it under the consideration time

Gagne also with a PB! Wigginton misses the final by one spot  Wigginton was the second youngest swimmer fwiw in this event
