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.

    • Rams could well beat Vikings and this is a real coin toss. Sam Darnold's first playoff game and he looked bad vs Lions last weekend in the #1 seed decider already. This is one of these rare games when a wild card team has a much better record and the home team is the underdog on paper but Rams can pull this one off and it ends up being a "non-upset" upset.
    • I also want to know where the World Cup will be fully broadcast.
    • For my predictions I’m assessing a number of factors into it. For example in the comeback category, I prioritize injuries/life or career threatening stuff over breaks. World Championships, World Cups (and similar stuff for sports that don’t have those) also factor into it.    BEST MALE ATHLETE for sportsmen in Olympic sports   #1:  Leon Marchand #2:  Armand Duplantis (3 WR’s in a year…) #3:  Teddy Riner   Odermatt not being nominated is unexpected.      BEST FEMALE ATHLETE for sportswomen in Olympic sports   #1:  Summer McIntosh #2:  Sifan Hassan #3:  Lisa Carrington     BEST NON-OLYMPIC ATHLETE for athletes in Non-Olympic sports and disciplines   #1:  Shohei Ohtani #2:  Patrick Mahomes #3:  Max Verstappen     BEST PARALYMPIC ATHLETE for athletes with a disability   #1: #2: #3:     BEST YOUTH ATHLETE for athletes up to 18 years old (born after January 1st, 2006) (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports)   #1:  Summer McIntosh (again) #2:  Lamine Yamal #3:  Darja Varfolomeev     BEST MEN'S TEAM for national men's teams or groups (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports)   #1:  basketball team #2:  waterpolo team #3:  volleyball team     BEST WOMEN'S TEAM for national women's teams or groups (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports)   #1:  volleyball team #2:  handball team #3:  field hockey team   If I’m gonna be completely honest, after #1 and #2, I had a hard time choosing one because all four teams had their struggles…      BEST DOUBLES/PAIR OR MIXED TEAM for doubles and pairs or mixed teams and groups (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports)   #1:  Caterina Banti/Tito Ruggeri #2:  David Åhman/Jonatan Hellvig #3:  Paul O’Donovan/Fintan McCarthy   I had to let out a laugh when I saw that  Duda/AP were nominated, because even though they won gold they were not on the same page at all through most of the season and went months on the Beach Pro Tour between May and July without a single medal      BREAKTHROUGH OF THE YEAR for the most improved athlete (aged 19 or over) or national team (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports)   #1:  Adriana Ruano #2:  Jasmine Paolini #3:  Shinnosuke Oka   Again, some of the nominations are confusing to me.  Vaast is surfing at his home break in Tahiti and like a lot of sports that advantage is big,  Lafond had a best jump of 14.90m in 2023 and  Alfred was a medal contender in 2023 as well.    I would put  Joan-Benjamin Gaba up there, he came into the Olympics completely out of the medal mix and he won silver and beat Hifumi by ippon in the mixed team final     COMEBACK OF THE YEAR for athletes or national teams who made a comeback performance in 2024 (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports)   #1:  Sunisa Lee #2:  Paula Badosa #3:  Kristof Milak     SPORT MOMENT OF THE YEAR for any sport moment from 2024   #1:  Djokovic finally winning an Olympic gold medal in men’s singles tennis (and none of the other choices come close for me, honestly) #2:  Letsile Tebogo’s gold in the men’s 200m, first ever gold for Botswana and he also beats evil Lyles in the process  #3:  Armand Duplantis’ gold and WR in men’s pole vault   I wasn’t a fan the opening ceremony, and I thought the general consensus was that most people on here didn’t like it either, so I’m not sure on how it got nominated but…  Also thought there would be at least one non-Olympic nomination, but I guess not.   OLYMPIC SPIRIT AWARD for athletes or teams related to the 2024 Summer Olympics or Paralympics who exemplify the spirit of sportsmanship in the Games or showed great determination in overcoming obstacles   #1:  Kinzang Lhamo crossing the marathon finish line #2:  Fariba Hashimi fulfilling her Olympic dream, having to hide her practices from her parents and the Taliban for doing a “boys’ activity” #3: Same thing for  Manizha Talash, I can’t imagine how hard that must be for them…   Honestly, this was a tough category. Besides Skotheim, who I very clearly think is last… I feel like it could go in any order.
