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. 

Brousseau had a great swim. So did Tierney and Acevedo. Yeah super disappointing, hopefully Swimming Canada can select one of Branton/LePage/Pickrem in the women’s 100m breaststroke as discretionary pick (I believe all have OQTs?), and allow Wigginton another opportunity at the OQS.

Here's the qualification list by priority. People in italics are qualified in a higher priority.

 

Priority 1: Finish in the top 2 and achieve the OQT at the event.

Javier Acevedo (M 100m Backstroke)

Mary-Sophie Harvey (W 200m Freestyle, W 100m Butterfly)

Tristan Jankovics (M 400m Individual Medley)

Maggie MacNeil (W 100m Butterfly)

Summer McIntosh (W 200m Freestyle, W 400m Freestyle)

Blake Tierney (M 100m Backstroke)

 

Priority 2: Finish in the top 4 in the 100m and 200m freestyle events to compete in the relays.

Julie Brousseau (W 4x200m Freestyle Relay)

Mary-Sophie Harvey (W 4x200m Freestyle Relay)

Summer McIntosh (W 4x200m Freestyle Relay)

Emma O'Croinin (W 4x200m Freestyle Relay)

 

Priority 3: Winners of the 100m backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly to compete in the relays.

Sophie Angus (W 4x100m Medley Relay)

Finlay Knox (M 4x100m Medley Relay)

Maggie MacNeil (W 4x100m Medley Relay)

Blake Tierney (M 4x100m Medley Relay)

 

Priority 4: Additional 100m and 200m freestyle or 100m medley athletes to compete in the relays (based on director's recommendation)

TBD

 

I'm thinking maybe MSH and Acevedo does the medley while the women's 4x200m relay gets another 2-3 swimmers.

 

Priority 5: Swimmers who have achieved the OQT during the qualification period (March 1, 2023 - June 23, 2024) and finished in the top 2

Sophie Angus (W 100m Breaststroke)

 

Priority 6: Swimmers who have achieved the OCT during the qualification period, won the event and finished within 1% if their fastest time will be provisionally nominated pending World Aquatics invitation.

None

 

 

Current Total: 10 (4 men, 6 women)

 

Note: People could be added in priority 5 or 6 should they achieve an OQT/OCT between now and June 23rd.

I think Tierney and Acevedo are in Priority 1.

The result file didn't have them written as OQT, but you are correct.

@Topicmaster1010 really excited to see what Aiden Norman can do in the men’s 200m backstroke 

[james89 897]

I totally forgot to point out how happy I am for Javi Acevedo, like I remember being so impressed when he qualified in 2016 and then in 2020 I was totally shocked that he was even named to the team. Feeling good about him now getting to make the team in the 100m backstroke. Hopefully it bodes well for his freestyle.

The OQT actually seems achievable for him given how much time he dropped today

A lot of these athletes will probably qualify regardless, but here’s a list of the notable swimmers who have competed in an event and haven’t qualified, who might be eligible for a discretionary pick. Some of them haven’t competed in their best event yet, but I’ll mention them anyways. 

 

Penny Oleksiak, Taylor Ruck, Ella Jansen (probably will qualify for the women’s 4x200m relay actually, McIntosh probably won’t be swimming prelims), Rebecca Smith, Katerine Savard, Apollo Hess, Shona Branton, Alexanne LePage, Sydney Pickrem, Kelsey Wog, Lorne Wigginton (needs the OQT)

Btw, if you guys think these trials have been disappointing, you clearly didn't watch Brazilian trials from last week 

 

Yes, there's been a few disappointing results and events but there's been a lot of positive results as well! It's bound to happen at any meet

 

Hopefully the good swims outweighs the disappointing swims for the next 5 days
