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. 53.61 was 14th place in Tokyo. Those heats were insanely fast. That's how the standard was decided. A lot of those women in Tokyo have since retired or regressed with only one Dutch women really emerging during since. Only 27 women have hit that standard in the qualification period of which 7 are Australians, 7 are American, and 5 are Chinese. dullard and Josh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Josh 7,769 Posted May 17 Author #254 Share Posted May 17 (edited) 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. Edited May 17 by Josh Surlympics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topicmaster1010 3,060 Posted May 17 #258 Share Posted May 17 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 Surlympics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
