2024 Canadian Olympic Swim Trials

1:06.96 for Sophie Angus in the women’s 100m breaststroke… will qualify for the women’s 4x100m medley relay. Disappointing.

Well that was disappointing

Terribly disappointing that nobody hit the standard. I thought it was going to happen!

Happy for Angus! At least she has the OQT from 2024 world championships so she'll still be able to swim the individual event. and she's been the best relay breaststroker over the last year.

 

Disappointing times elsewhere though. Though likely two of Pickrem, Wog and Lepage will still qualify through the 200.

 

Gutted for Branton as that basically confirms she won't be going to Paris

Swimming Canada needs to change their selection criteria. It’s pretty good, but I would add that if there isn’t two qualifiers for the Olympics in an event then the highest finisher with the OQT will book their ticket on the Canadian team.

I can't help but feel disappointed again, no Wigginton, Penny realistically not being ready for her comeback, the 100m breast being a flop after a lot of anticipation. 

 

It's definitely outweighing the good right now.

There are discretionary picks. They might just select one of them anyways, who knows

Isn't this how it is right now?

No… 

 

Basically for you to qualify for the Olympics (the most simple ways), you have to either finish top 2 and reach the OQT, or finish top 2 and have reached the OQT in the qualification period.

MSH's time would get her into the final, Summer's time would challenge for the gold (so sad she likely can't compete in it at Paris). 

 

Pretty disappointed with the 200m after that, though. I expected two (or even more) to get the OQT besides Summer. 

 

Most of all disappointed by the breaststroke. No one qualifying is....not great. 

 

Edit: Forgot to mention the backstroke. Great race there, great to see two guys qualify. Shave off another half second, could get into the final.
