BBC seem to have forgotten Jimmy Guy exists which is a bit of an oversight 🤣

It is relatively unlike he will make the top 2 and qualify for the individual event.

Men's 100m Freestyle:

Another strong event for GB with possibly 6 athletes competing for 4 relay spots. Richards should take one of the individual spots and will probably be joined by either Dean or Scott.

 

 

Men's 50m Freestyle:

Ben Proud should be a shoe-in for selection so it is just a question whether anyone will be joining him. Best chance probably will be with Richards or Burras.

Men's 200m Backstroke:

 

image.png

 

Luke Greenbank looks to be getting back to form and is just outside the BST this year. Oliver Morgan and Brodie Williams got the standard last year and should be in the mix again this year. A wildcard pick could be Commonwealth Youth champion Matthew Ward - there's a good chance he can bring his PB down again but it will be difficult for him to get a top two finish.

 

 

Men's 100m Backstroke:

Oliver Morgan and Jonathon Adam could/should both get the standard, but Cameron Brooker isn't too far off the BST. Although Luke Greenbank is back in the mix for the 200, I can't see him getting the standard in the shorter distance. As with the 200m, I expect Matthew Ward to bring his PB down, but I don't think he'll be able to hit the BST.

Men's 200m Breaststroke:

Nobody has the BST and James Wilby likely to be the only swimmer who will come close to achieving it this week although we could see new PB from Gregory Butler.

All eyes will be on Adam Peaty on day 1 - not to see whether he gets the BST but rather what time can he put down. Although the results may not have gone in his favour in Doha, the times he has posted early season are on par with what he achieved going into previous Olympic Games. The question then will be whether he can show the same progression that we saw in 2016/2021. James Wilby should get the second spot although will be interesting to see if Gregory Butler and Archie Goodburn can break the 1 minute mark.

Men's 200m Butterfly:

 

image.png

 

Easiest prediction of the week - nobody will hit the BST in the 200m Butterfly. Even in PB shape, Beeley would need to shave off 2 seconds which whilst it doesn't sound a lot, is a tough ask in this event.

 

 

Men's 100m Butterfly:

GB should be able to get two swimmers within the BST. Jacob Peters will start as one of the favourites having achieved the standard last year. along with James Guy, but there are a couple of others who, if in PB shape, could challenge for a podium place and challenge the BST.

Men's 400m Individual Medley:

 

image.png

 

Max Litchfield should be able to book his ticket to Paris fairly comfortably but will be interesting to see if he can go below 4:10.00. Although he secured the silver medal in Doha, realistically, he's likely to need a 2 or 3 second PB if he has aspirations of getting on to the podium in Paris.

 

Men's 200m Individual Medley:

Barring disaster, both Tom Dean and Duncan Scott will get the nod for the event. Although there are a couple of others who could potentially get the standard but I don't see any of them getting selected ahead of Dean and Scott.

That's a total of 27 individual spots and doesn't give any provision for relay teams so the selectors could have some very difficult decisions to make - hopefully the first one they make is to get rid of the ridiculous arbitrary squad size of 30.

Honestly in the 100 I think Whittle could sneak the 2nd spot behind Richards. The switch to the Bath performance Centre looks to be working wonders for him; he went 46.3 at European Short Course Champs in December despite having pretty horrific starts and underwaters. Between him or Scott for that second spot imo, Dean's 100 Free hasn't looked great the last 18 months.

I think the 100m Free is so stacked that it wouldn't surprise me if he did take the second spot - there's a few commentators who have argued that Whittle could put in a flyer to take second and get the BST.

 

In the end, I've opted for Scott to get the second place, partly as he's a fellow :SCO but equally because not having competed, it is difficult to know what kind of form Dean is in. As I've spent more time looking at results, I am more inclined to think that Dean finishes off the podium but it has also made me wonder whether Lewis Burras will be able to recapture his form from last year and spring a surprise.

They won’t. If anything they probably want less than 30 for cost reasons.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
