It is absurd. Women made out of the heats with much slower times in Tokyo. Are they just trying to thin the ranks dramatically? 

 

Edit: Just want to add that 202(1) wasn't particularly slow, either. 5 of the girls went below the OR. Penny broke her own Canadian record/Olympic record from 2016 and finished 4th. 

The standards aren't picked by someone, it's either the standard from the previous Olympics or the 14th ranked time in the heats at the previous Olympics, whichever is faster.

53.66 for Oleksiak in the women’s 100m freestyle! YEAHHHH!!! 

 

MSH, Douthwright, and Ruck with relay spots. 
 

Smith in 5th, just barely misses out a spot on the Olympic team yet again.

This has to be the first Olympic swimmer since Marianne Limpert?

Oleksiak just 0.05 away from the a standard but has the b so she'll be the sole representative for Canada in this event most likely
