This is my current take on the team with 2 days left.

 

Currently Qualified

1. Keanna Macinnes (200m Fly)

2. Freya Colbert (200m Free + Relay + 400m IM)

3. Abbie Wood (200m Free + Relay)

4. Medi Harris (200m Free Relay)

5. Lucy Hope (200m Free Relay)

6.Adam Peaty (100m Breast + Medley Relay)

7. Oliver Morgan (100m Back + Medley Relay)

8. Kathleen Dawson (100m Back)

9. Dan Jervis (1500m Free)

10. Anna Hopkin (50m Free)

11. Max Litchfield (400m IM)

12. Matt Richards (100m Free + Relay)

13. Duncan Scott (100m Free + Relay + 200m IM)

14. Tom Dean (100m Free Relay)

15. Alex Cohoon (100m Free Relay)

16. Joe Litchfield (Medley Relay)

17. Honey Osrin (200m Back)

 

Likely Qualifiers from the rest of the meet

18. Ben Proud (50m Free)

19. Luke Greenbank (200m Back)

20. Angharad Evans (100m Breast)

 

2nd Place finishers with consideration Times

21. Laura Stephens (200m Fly)

22. Jonathan Marshall (100m Back)

23. Katie Shanahan (400m IM + 200m Back)

 

Likely 2nd Place finishers

24. Kara Hanlon (100m Breast)

 

Likely Relay members

25. James Guy (200m Free relay)

 

 

This leaves us with 5 slots to fill with discretionary swimmers, although I'm sure I may have missed someone further up. Currently, I would pick.

26. Freya Anderson

27. Jacob Whittle

28. Jacob Peters

29. James Wilby

30. Lauren Cox

 

Have I missed anyone? Obviously shocks happen but this is the team I would currently take.

So if that was the final team, who would be the 4x100 relay? Hopkin/Hope/Wood/Anderson? There's not a lot of relay cover there for the women.

Medi could cover, and Freya Colbert is also entered into to 100m free. 

Although you are right, depending on how Eva Okaro swims in the 100m she could definately take Laurens spot on the team.

 

The point of this is to show that there is still room on the team to get both James Guy and Jacob Peters on the train despite performing poorly tonight.

With Colbert, I'd guess they will want to prioritise the mixed medley relay and the 4x200. 

 

I do think Cox is vulnerable - with Medi Harris on the team already, she could also be entered into the 100 back given she has the OQT from last year.

I think they might think that makes a mockery of the trials if someone can use a time from elsewhere.

I really can't understand the support for taking Peters AND Guy, unless Jimmy qualifies individually in the 200m free.

 

I'd rather use Jacob's spot and give that to either Bird or Blocksidge. One has the obvious huge upside of getting better as they age.

 

The other outperformed expectations at trials. There should be some reward for doing that, at least for me.

 

Obviously, Aquatics GB probably won't see it like that.

Considering Medi's situation it would hardly be crazy. Most people were surprised that she even took part in these champs at all.

This is where the limit is unfair and just plan cruel.

True. Through with the relay focus I’m not sure any relay swimmer will do individuals unless they fairly confident they will make the final. Harris can make the final but not s certainty she does.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • 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.
