dullard 506 Posted December 22, 2023 #31 Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) The Brits aren't messing around getting that 4x100 relay qualified. The roster is strong enough that they might not just get it qualified but also win both the men's freestyle relays.

Will be most interesting to see if Peaty is moving towards his best form again. Edited December 22, 2023 by dullard maestro and Josh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be most interesting to see if Peaty is moving towards his best form again. Peaty probably needs the 'reps'. The men's 4 x 1 team is the major one, as they don't have a time yet following the DQ in 2023 - I think they're probably safe in most of the other relays on time rankings, including men's and mixed medley. All the same... Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the inclusion of unproven young talents Van Wijk and Van Kalmthout who will get a chance to prove themselves on the 4x100m freestyle roster.

I do wish Australia had used this meet to give some young talents experience. Instead they persisted with their usual ridiculous qualifying standards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be more complicated to do up with so many athletes skipping. There is going to be a prediction contest for the swimming wch 2024? And yes, trying to make entry lists for this contest is difficult to say the least. I have made preliminary entry lists for all events. However, many big nations haven't announced their official rosters yet, so the lists have to adjusted. dullard and maestro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
