"Canadian swimming sensation Summer McIntosh has sent yet another shockwave across the swimming world by defeating American legend Katie Ledecky in the 800 metre freestyle.

 

McIntosh touched the wall in a national record time of 8:11.39, beating Ledecky's time of 8:17.12 – a nearly six second gap. Ledecky had not lost an 800m for more than 13 years.

 

That makes McIntosh the second-fastest performer ever in the 800m. Her time would have won gold at the Tokyo Olympics."

Wow. I hope she considers this race in Paris and drops either the 200 or 400

The choice is between the 200IM and 800FR.

I'm still picking my jaw off the floor. I have no words. She's absolutely amazing.

 

Now top 5 all time in 6 different events at 17 years old!

 

Personally I think she'll stick with the 200 IM but you never know

I don’t. Sure, she might be in contention for the gold medal, but this event collides with the 200m IM final (mind you both are on the final day of racing, where McIntosh would’ve had a three day break at that point) and her schedule would be pretty busy otherwise. Racing in 4 individual events, and 1-2 relays in 1 1/2 weeks would get you physically (and probably mentally) exhausted. I’m not sure she could handle another 600m added to her Olympic program, especially considering the fact that she’s also the current gold medal favourite in the 200IM.

It was reported at SwimSwam too. Would've been better if the media respected his wish to keeping a low profile but I guess that's not how the media works.

According to Le Monde the schedule is being rearranged especially for Marchand so he can do the 200 fly/200 breast double.

 

First Ledecky gets a custom made schedule so she can do all her events without any conflicts and now she won't even swim the 200 individually. Who'll be next?

I wouldn't mind if they rearranged the swimming schedule to a 14 day meet so that Summer can swim all the events :lol:

    • Basically, NOCs can attempt to qualify in additional events without gaining athlete quotas. For example, let's say a nation already qualified in the 4- and 4x, they can use the athletes they plan to send in those events and try to qualify in the 8+. That's where the extra coxswains will be used. If a nation intends to attempt to double-up they must let World Rowing know before the final qualifier regatta.   There's a good chance the quotas may not be used and will have to be reallocated. Looking at 2024, only  would have been eligible for the men while the women there's . With that said there's no guarantee they would have wanted to double-up their athletes.   In reality we are more likely to see the reverse, nations who qualified in the 4x, 4-, or 8+ doubling-up athletes for the 1x, 2x, 2-.
    • Hey everyone, how are you all?   Reading the qualification document here and the "3 quotas for additional coxswain" is very confusing to me. Can someone (try to) explain to me please how those quotas will be assigned?    Thank you so much

    • In a country as big as , the odds of Olympians being close to you are quite small; however, once I realized several months ago that even a state as small as mine hosts Olympians on occasion, I decided to scour each sport's calendar to make sure I caught them when they come around.  That led me to the middle of nowhere in my own state today, where there was a 4* Eventing competition, featuring a couple of Olympians and/or World Champion athletes.   Most all the athletes here were local or from USA, but there were a couple who compete for   or .  When we walked up, I had no idea what I was doing.  I thought I was in the right arena at the venue, but I didn't really see anyone there.  (There weren't any stands full of spectators, nor did I see any judges...it was time for dressage.). One of the ladies turned around and we struck up conversation.  Turns out I was in the right spot, and they were just on a short break.  She directed my attention to the upcoming athlete, Caroline Pamukcu.  Thanks to my research ahead of time, I knew she was on the Paris 2024 Eventing Team.  The lady we were talking with was the owner of the horse Caroline was riding.  After she finished with her dressage round, she got off the horse and was just standing there talking with her crew.  We went over and had a brief chat and one of the other ladies offered to take our picture.     I asked Caroline if she was aiming for LA28, and she said yes.  I've also since shown the girls and wifey the video from her Paris 2024 jumping competition.  Hope she makes the team this year!   (Caroline has a Gold Individual Eventing and Silver Team Eventing medal from the 2023 PanAms.  Boyd Martin from the Paris team was also there, himself having a WCh Silver and three gold PanAms.  Tamra Smith, who has a Silver from the 2022 WCh, was there as well.  Waylon Roberts, who represents  and has a PanAm Silver competed.  I saw a few more Dressage rounds, then watched them all do the Jumping.  Didn't get to see Cross-Country, but they'll have another similar event in October.)
