Opens the door for four new swimmers

There was some doubt in the SwimSwam comments if she was a Canadian citizen - don't know whether to believe that.

They demonstrated that they can finish in the top 4. So if we make the final, they will likely be subbed in.

Nice, this really opens the door for a couple of their teamates to make the team!

Realistically without Knox and Liendo the 4x200 won't qualify for the final. At least it gives 4 others a chance to swim

I don't get the impression the men's 4x200m will be a priority, the 4x100 free and the medley relay will likely get more attention (the free because it can realistically make the final, the medley relay since it's on the last day and people usually really like competing it).

 

The 4x200m is the only realistic way for a lot of the male swimmers to make the team so I can def see why Knox and Liendo, who will both have a decent number of swims, are happy to leave those spots to someone else.

With Knox and Liendo we most likely won’t be qualifying for the final anyways.

Time for day 3

Hopefully we get more than two backstrokers and the 4x200m free relay qualified.
