Great results in the heats this morning.  Hopefully two more medals on the way tonight, but the relay will be tight.

Lets pray it gets it out of the system. *Positive vibes*

Angus' time of 1:06.30 is amazing! Probably the best breaststroke split we have seen? If Masse/Oleksiak can return to form next year and Angus keeps this up, we might have a very strong medley relay

If she keeps this up we could also have a shot at medalling in the final. And although we're probably going to secure a quota either way, it would be nice to qualify a relay to Paris 2024 before Doha.

Medley Relays for Finals

 

Men:

 

Acevedo -> Dergousoff -> Liendo -> Gaziev

 

No changes as expected. Hoping to see Acevedo get the OQT but I doubt as he wasn't been able to replicate his performances at Canadian trials. The back half of the team is the biggest strength.

 

Women:

 

Masse -> Angus -> MacNeil -> McIntosh 

 

So I guess from an upside standpoint, putting McIntosh over an out of shape Ruck and Harvey would be the correct decision. She split 53.33 at the Commonwealth games 15 minutes after doing a 400m freestyle. But her performance on the 4x100m freestyle relay on night one was concerning. Hopefully she just had an off day and she can ride her momentum on what is hopefully a gold medal in the 400 IM.

4:27.11 400IM for McIntosh, defending her title from Budapest 2022!

That's a pretty star-studded womens relay.

Summer now has won more gold medals (4) at world championships than any other Canadian swimmer and she's still 16! Something tells me that number is going to go a lot higher
