Why????

Unsure. She's still listed for the relay, so maybe saving herself for that.

Canada qualifies for the men's medley final. What a lead off by Tierney and a 49.98 for Kharun! Australia and China are out.

52.95 opening leg for Tierney, new NR!

 

Relay also went a NR with 3:30.86!

Wow and that's without Liendo

Canada Qualifies for the Final in the Women's Medley in sixth overall. We really need a replacement for Macneill though. We are two seconds behind of every other nation in the final for the fly portion.

Tessier has qualified for the platform finals!

Oliver Dawson was 2 years old when the NR for the medley relay was set, now he is part of the team that broke it

Correcting this, he was actually 1!

I'm guessing Summer will be swimming butterfly. Or if not her, then Harvey on butterfly and Ruck on freestyle.

Do you think the men have a chance at top 5?

After those heats, definitely. Now the question is whether or not they can podium.

 

Likely Liendo will be on freestyle and Dawson was also around half a second faster on the mixed medley relay so there's room to make up some time.

 

China bombing in prelims definitely helps. Australia not qualifying isn't surprising. Their backstroke and breaststroke legs are too weak.

 

Of the teams in the final, we should be comfortably ahead of the Netherlands and Korea. Should be better than GB as well with Tierney's backstroke form.

 

France will likely bring in Marchand for the breaststroke and switch Grousset to butterfly so I think they'll end up being better than Canada in the finals.

 

Now for the teams that finished ahead of Canada, I don't see us beating Russia. It actually might be possible to finish ahead of the US given how inconsistent their men have been these championships. They likely used their A team as well in prelims. We were close to Italy but they'll likely bring in Ceccon for the butterfly leg so they look in good shape.

 

Fingers crossed I guess
