The future still looks bright with the 4x200 free relay with 3 of them being teenagers. Hopefully some others can develop and it would be nice to see MSH stick around another 4 years.

I think MSH just wants an Olympic medal desperately so she may! 
 

EDIT: also Penny will likely be back on form a bit going forward. Not sure if she’ll choose to do the 200m though or just stick with the 100m

MSH’s swims have been so up and down this week…

Weirdly dissapointing day given we won a gold medal.

 

Very happy Sanford will win a medal, though.

Grousset scratched the 50 free final, Liendo in

I wonder if Liendo will also scratch it to concentrate on the 100 fly.

That’s the general concerning thing. Many of the Canadians seemed to have peaked at trials and not at the games.

I guess, but weren't we also saying that in 2016/2020? Ruck and Oleksiak were supposed to lead Canada to glory in the future, and they weren't even in the mix by 2024. I guess we'll see, but swimming seems to be on the decline on the women's side besides Summer.
