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

    • Matt Gaetz as attorney general is definitively... a choice.
    • I'm all in favor of this and it was about time. Wrestling has become table tennis 2.0 and in some cases even worse. In European Championships from 20 wrestlers in a weight you were seeing 7-8 foreigners. Yes, it's mostly Russians, but there are also Ukrainians, Georgians, Cubans being naturalized.    I've said it numerous times, that i don't approve the tactic our federation started of naturalizing people left and right. Which actually wasn't paying off that much, until the Olympics. If it leads to worse results, than it's just a wakeup call for the destruction of our wrestling system (which has been evident for 15 years).

    • New season streams are posted for the weekend if you need to get your schedule organised.     Remember, it's a double bill from Pyeongchang  on Saturday and Sunday this weekend, then a single race from  next weekend. No bobsleigh yet, so I guess they will get double races with no skeleton later in the season.      There were two Asian Cup races on the Pyeongchang track last weekend, and another scheduled for tomorrow, so no excuses for poor performance, everybody should be used to it by now.     IBSF Bobsleigh & Skeleton - YouTube
    • races also on Saturday and Sunday.  These are sometimes FTA, other times you will need your VPN.   Skidskytte: Idre | SVT Play
    • So here we are....pre-season races ready to go.  Always important for the big teams to get some last minute promotions for the first trio of pre-Christmas World Cup races, or even for club skiers to get some kind of promotion into a professional training group.      races on Saturday and Sunday morning.  Usually these are globally free to air live, although you sometimes have to wander round a bit to find the right link.   Sport - NRK TV
    • Anyway, for those who were following this discussion a few weeks ago,  has an excellent chance of first-ever World Cup podiums, possibly even wins, this weekend.  Roche Silveira won and was second in two full-scale rehearsal races last weekend, and has two chances in Pyeonchang on Saturday and Sunday. Then Pinheiro Braathen has another chance in the Levi slalom on Sunday.
