From what I read, Iceland is currently 5th in the women's medley, just behind Spain.

I guess the only chance is if Spain or Brazil decline. Is Spain likely to do so? It's strange that they didn't compete at the Europeans.

FINA lifted Efimova's suspension, but she's still not cleared to compete in Rio

They didn't compete because our backstroker (Duane da Rocha) was unable to attend Europeans due tu injury. But I don't think they would decline, since all swimmers are already qualifiyed in individual events to Rio...

Well, I expected Celic here after I saw that he swam 5000m.

Inge Dekker again in pool. What a great news. She swam 25.57 in Italy today.

Completely missed that, but that's fantastic! And it comes to show that she was lucky that they found the cancer so early (unlike one of our top speed skaters..).
