49.46 for :USA Kendall Ellis in the women’s 400m :hyper:

 

Aaliyah Butler 2nd in 49.71, and Alexis Holmes 3rd in 49.78 grab the other two individual quotas.

@Triplecast given that Corrigan is nowhere near a spot through the Road to Paris, what would happen? Would they give his spot to Jager (4th at US Trials), or Rotich (Highest finisher with the Olympic standard) ?

The US are so deep in the women's 400m but no gold medal contenders with McLaughlin focussing on hurdles.

Kaylyn Brown would’ve been one, but she didn’t even qualify.

Very strange scenes in the men’s javelin throw final, with Thompson fouling during his last 3 rounds, and Williamson and Banks in their last 4 (!!) rounds. Coincidentally, those were the top 3 and therefore have “qualified” for the Olympics (None of them have the Olympic standard, Thompson is safe, Williamson might qualify, and Banks will probably not, so if Minichello can stay within the quotas he’ll qualify)

Lyles is so unbearable with his pre and post race antics...trying to constantly remind you he's the "cool guy" and coming off as an arrogant and let's say not-so-smart weirdo.

    • Spring Nationals, Day #3   Sara Curtis MVP of day 3 of the Italian Spring Nationals!    after improving her PB in the women's 100m freestyle already in the morning heats, in the afternoon final she destroyed not only her previous limit, but also the 9-year old National Record, previously held by our swimming icon Federica Pellegrini 53.01 is the new record   in the same race, Emma Virginia Menicucci was 2nd in 54.14 (big new PB for her) and Chiara Tarantino was 3rd in 54.28   given that Tarantino has a sub-54 PB and also Sofia Morini (here completely out of shape) is a sub-54 swimmer at her best, now the Italian women's 4*100m free relay begins to look like a good one (sure, USA and AUS are out of reach, but the rest of the world is not so far away anymore   more on Today's Finals:   men's 800m Free: 1.Davide Marchello, 7.53.32   women's 200m IM: 1.Sara Franceschi, 2.10.95; 2.Anita Gastaldi, 2.10.97 (PB), both World qualifying times   men's 200m IM: 1.Alberto Razzetti, 1.58.05 (again definitely below the expectations, something's not good with him this week ); 2.Christian Mantegazza, 1.58.95 (big PB, class of 2005)   men's 100m Free: 1.Manuel Frigo, 48.34; 2.Carlos D'Ambrosio, 48.60 (very disappointed with him...he should have swum 1 second faster); 3.Lorenzo Zazzeri, 48.62; 4.Alessandro Miressi, 48.74  even if we can add Ceccon and maybe Deplano (if he convince himself he can swim fast also the 100m and not only the 50m), the 4*100m relay's perspective is really depressing    women's 1500m Free: 1.Simona Quadarella, 16.03.77   in the club relays (the 4*100m medley relays), among the women, Sara Curtis swam "only" 1.01 in the backstroke leg, Bottazzo had a good 1.05.40 in the breastroke leg, confirming his win over the individual distance wasn't a fluke and Tarantino (53.68) and Menicucci (54.11) confirmed the value of their clockings from the individual race also with the flying start among the men, Bacico swam even better than the individual race winning effort (53.42) in the backstroke leg, Martinenghi edged out Viberti in the breastroke leg (58.70 to 58.99), Burdisso swam a decent 50.8 in the fly leg and finally Manuel Frigo confirmed himself the best 100m free specialist of the moment with an impressive 47.2 stint
