Had some time to look deeper into the list.

 

Overall, 691 athletes are listed, this does not include relay-only athletes (~161 additional athletes).

 

416 athletes obtained at least one OQT.

 

15 athletes were invited through OCT (and did not have OQT). :ARG:ESP:SUI gained 2 athletes while :AUT:CHI:ISL:KAZ:POL:PUR:SRB:SGP:TUR gained one athlete.

 

260 athletes qualified through the universality quotas (and don't have OQT/OCT). This was obtained by 151 nations. 108 nations qualified both a man and a women. Additionally, the refugee team has 2 men. 42 nations obtained a single quota (22 men, 20 women), though some nations obtained at least one quota in the opposite gender via OQT/OCT.

Am I correct in saying that if a swimmer is selected under Universality rule but has an OCT in another event he can swim both competitions? Even if this means a swimmer with the OCT and a higher ranking loses out? John Shortt IRL.gif is ranked 9 in 200m Backstroke but received no invite as this went to Morales of Puerto Rico even though he is ranked 12 but was selected for the 100m under universality. That seems very unfair. 

Universality athletes have higher priority than OCT athletes. If a universality athletes also has an OCT, then they can enter two events.

This is what happened in the :PUR example (mentioned above as OCT adding one)

 

Morales got a universality invite at 100m backstroke and added 200m backstroke with the OCT

Actually I see no reason why universality athletes shouldn't be able to enter two events each like it is at the WCh. Fields are quite thin as it is. :dunno:

 

Technically, they can do it, but all the OCT times are rather unsensical.

There used to be a lot more universality athletes who entered multiple events. Then World Aquatics decided to cut down the OCT from 3% of the qualifying time to 0.5% of the qualifying time.

 

This year, we only had something like 5 universality athletes that reached the OCT.

Its rather quite unusual to see that in women's 100m freestyle will be 50 less competitiors than in men's event, even below 30 athletes in total, isn't it? What can be reason behind this? Too difficult to reach qualifying time or what?

29 women in the 100 free sounds ridiculously low, doesn't it? :yikes:

The qualifying time went from 54.38 in 2020 to 53.61 in 2024.

 

A drop of 0.77 SECONDS!!!

 

Also doesn't help that a lot of elite 100m freestylers in that time either retired or declined.

It's a combination of fast OQT and very poor depth in the event. Thankfully it's faster than ever at the very top with Haughey, O'Callaghan, Steenbergen, Jack and Sjostrom (if she swims it) all capable of 52 low or faster.

 

Meanwhile the depth in the men's 100 free is gonna make the rounds brutal and many of the men also have to swim the 4x200 relay between the semi and final which is just 💩

    • KHL launches 3x3 championships with 8 teams, it starts on 19th December and finishes in July
    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
