Silver for Sydney Pickrem in the women’s 200m individual medley!

Hungary into the SF's. So its down to  or  for the final quota. If Italy beats Greece tonight its all over. I hope declines their quota atp

Does anyone know what is South Africa’s criteria for accepting their Olympic quota? Is it possible if someone can email them, inquiring about the matter?

There was some chatter about this in the Artistic Swimming thread that referenced an article I couldnt find.

Greece defeat Italy 14-12 in the other semifinal, so assuming South Africa doesn’t decline their Olympic quota, Canada’s hopes are still alive. 
 

On Wednesday, Canada will take on Australia, while Italy will take on Netherlands.

I hate that we keep relying on other teams for quotas. Hoping for a winner takes all battle against Italy in either the 5th or 7th place match.

Her time would have gotten her silver in the last two Olympics (bronze the one before).

Crazy to think that her time probably won’t even be enough for a medal this time around.

One year ago, if you told me that we would get 3 women under the 100m breaststroke OQT, there's no way I would've believed you.

 

So now we're at:

Angus: 1:06.66

Branton: 1:06.59

Lepage: 1:06.58

 

Looking like the race of the meet at Canadian trials

Looks like Swimming Canada put a lot of resources into the breaststroke so we can have a great medley relay.

 

Too bad freestyle and to a lesser extent backstroke has regressed a bit. I still feel good about the prospect of a bronze medal, but surpassing Australia and the United States remains tough
