Why aren’t penny and Taylor even considered for the relay? They are just that out of it now eh 

Because they are in 1:59-2:00 form in the 200m free, and that won’t cut it if we’ll want to be in the mix for the medals.

Hopefully fatigue doesn’t play a part in her swim. 

She's 17. There's time to rest when you're old like me.

Taylor has been focussing on the 50/100m - TBH I don't think Penny is in shape for a 200m right now, I think she would have been faster than O'Croinin though.

200 fly is one of the toughest events in swimming, and she has a tough Olympic program, even for the youngsters that’ll get to you. 

 

I’m not saying she won’t be fast, because I’m sure she probably will, but I don’t think she’ll be producing any insane splits (I’d gladly be proven wrong)

Leindo out of the 50.

 

He really doesn't look good here.

In all fairness Liendo's time here would have easily made the final in Tokyo and been 5th in the final. Yet he was 9th in the semis here.

The time was decent. It was just a really fast field. Hopefully the butterfly goes better.

I feel like he will still win a medal in the 100 fly

It may be a blessing in disguise to only have one event tomorrow - unlike Grousset.

100 fly is his most likely chance at a medal anyways.
