Alright, that's a bit close, yeah :p 

 

I do wonder why these countries with trials somehow want the trials to be that close to the Olympics. Why not just hold them in March or April, so there's plenty of time for recovery and then rebuilding to peak shape again?

I’m not sure I’d argue with Australia and US swimming given how they perform at every major championships :)

Oh it definitely wasn't meant as argueing, I am sure they have infinitely more knowledge about all of it than all of us combined :d 

 

It was mostly a matter of curiousity, as to why this would lead to peak results. I can also imagine it works best to go for a peak at moment X, then take it a bit easier to recover somewhat and rebuild to a peak at moment X + 1,5 months. It clearly works for them, I'm just always interested in the timings of peaks and supercompensation and those kind of things :)

Ceccon went 1.57 in the 200m back, 52.9 in the 100m back and 52.3 in the 100m fly (and he's not in good shape at all, as he had to recover from a bad injury, broken finger in in his hand)

 

youngster Sara Curtis went close (1/10 of a sec) to his NR in the 50m Free, swimming 24.66 and she also swam a decent (for her) 28.2 in the 50m back
