7:09.90 NR for our relay! 

Our previous NR was 7:16.39 from 2009!

 

Can someone confirm that we got the quota for Paris? I think we did!

That is 17 teams, so I think Hungary are out!

Whoops, you're right! Thanks.

 

 Hungary out is definitely a shocker. That's what happens when there's no Milak

See you in the final and also see you in Paris! 

 

I honestly thought Hungary was safe, and that the last Olympic spot would be between Greece, Bulgaria, or Poland. I completely forgot about Lithuania and then after the Lithuanian performance in the first semifinal I thought there is no chance for us to improve our NR by 5 seconds to beat Hungary, and somehow we did it and passed not only Hungary, but several other teams

So excited for the final and to see them in Paris .Also,Greece was really fun to watch in the second heat,was rooting for them all the way.

 

Our previous record was 7:21.04 from 2022 with two other guys in the team.

Apparently there was a tie in for 8th place in the women's 800m heats but there's no swim off. There'll be 9 swimmers in the final.
