Laura Stephens really has dropped off from the form she showed in Doha - still think she goes to Paris but I had expected her to at least be hitting the BST in both the 100 and the 200. 

To be fair to her she's raced a lot in a short amount of time, and fly is the most taxing stroke on your body so it's to be expected that she was gonna have a poor meet at some point. I think she definitely knew she was going Paris beforehand, as you'd be pretty stupid not to take a reigning world champion in an event with not as much depth.

Maybe I am not so sure.

It’s not if she wishes. It’s if the team wishes. And I think they tell her to focus on the relay and 200. 

I don't think they will. There's a good amount of rest time between the 2 fly swims and the relay so they could let her swim the individual as a way to gauge what she needs to do in the relay.

Disappointing from Wilby not to at least hit the OQT, he had it in the bag going into the last 50 but somehow managed to do a 35. 

He does at least get the OCT so he can still be entered into the event.

Is Matt Richards really thinking about doing the 50 in Paris? If not Alex Cohoon will be eligible for the second spot. Can't remember the last time we had 2 men in the 50 free. 

Apparently he is. The 50 is away from the relays so he might well try it.

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
