If you count Evans' heat time, I believe the medley relay is only about 0.50 out, and with all 4 components having hit the OQT at some point this week I expect that to be entered too. 

Maybe but then that just makes a mockery of the rules really.

I'd say the 4x100 will get the OK to go - Anderson was coming in having done little sprint prep and they got a new national record in Fukuoka.

 

I am not as confident that the medley goes. Realistically, they're unlikely to medal in the event so that will count against them. However, the collective time posted this week is a second faster than they got in Fukuoka and a half a second faster than they managed in Tokyo. This is going to come down to whether the selectors believe that they can get into the final come Paris.

And medalled there. It’s hard to say oh they can’t medal a year later.

Based off of tonight I think the following come in as discretionary picks:

 

Anderson

Okoro

Evans

Bird

Whittle

Wilby

Cox

 

I believe the first 6 are pretty much safe, but Whittle can count himself lucky. 

 

In terms of the last spot, I was torn between Cox and Hanlon. But given Cox is a finalist candidate I reckon she'll get the nod over Kara. 

 

I also think Guy will swim the individual 100 fly in Paris, and only do the 200 free relay.

Women's relay misses out automatically by 0.08. They'd be stupid not to take it though. 

The issue here is that it involves a minimum of two discretionary picks.

I wonder are we in a situation where they try and put together the women's medley from 'existing resources'...Poor anna's gonna be knackered if she's doing 12 swims, and they'll want her to prioritise mixed medley, I suspect. Freya A's obviously not at her best. However, that was no bad swim in that context, and she probably doesn't need to swim quite as many relays as previously...

I think that's where Okara comes in as cover - using her for the heats will gives Hopkin a bit more slack in her schedule.

So I drew up a draft team earlier today, and from what I saw tonight nothing changed.

 

Some of this is known, some of it is my guesswork what will happen in Paris event wise:

 

Men

 

50 free - Proud and Cohoon

100 free - Richards and Dean

200 free - Richards and Scott

400 free - Bird

1500m free - Jervis

 

100 back - Morgan and Marshall

200 back - Morgan and Greenbank

 

100 breast - Peaty and Wilby

 

100 fly - Litchfield

 

200IM - Scott and Dean

400IM - Litchfield

 

Relay extras - Guy, McMillan

 

Women

 

50 free - Hopkin

100 free - Hopkin and Anderson

200 free - Wood and Anderson

 

100 back - Dawson and Harris

200 back - Osrin and Shanahan

 

100 breast - Evans and Hanlon

 

100 fly - MacInnes

200 fly - MacInnes and Stephens

 

200IM - Wood and Colbert

400IM - Colbert and Shanahan

 

Relay extras - Okaro, Hope

 

I think they will run all 7 relays.

 

Toby Robinson could get in the 800 or 1500 but I've not counted him because he'll be there anyway and I doubt he'll risk the pool events given that the open water is after them in the program.

 

I've made some guesses based on workload and people who I think have FINA OQTs, obviously.

 

Now to see how wrong I am when the selectors make their announcement this week. :d

I don't think there is any risk for Robinson in going in the pool - probably no different to a training swim for him - so if he wants to do double up then there shouldn't be any issue.

This looks pretty good to me, they would be silly to not send all 7 relay teams so fingers crossed, do we know when the selectors make their decision? Could it be as soon as tomorrow? Happy for Guy, man always pulls it out the bag when needed the most

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
    • Thursday December 11th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 4 Schedule (GMT +1)   12:30   Austria vs Ukraine 16:00   Norway vs Kazakhstan 19:30   Slovenia vs France
