Most likely unless Swimming NZ selectors can determine that qualified swimmers are able to finish in top 16 at Olympics.

Any chance to reject men's quota? I think Spain is next on the line if that happens...

Decision should be made by June 17th.

Spain has announced its swimming team. A total of 23 swimmers will compete. Men’s 1500m freestyle swimmer Marc Sanchez who was included on the initial roster has been removed due to not recovering from surgery fast enough. The list doesn’t include their open water swimmer so in actually their total is 24.

It's Cesar Castro who has been removed, not Marc Sanchez

As expected...

If I was a New Zealand athlete, I would want to represent another nation so officials don't ruin my chance to participate at the Olympics.

So, any news in which disciplines will Michael Phelps participate in the US nationals?

[JoshMartini007 2,765]

The 2016 Oceania Championships have begun. Nothing interesting on the first day of finals with the exception of Cook Islands' Wesley Robert reached the OST (B Standard) in the men's 1500m. Sadly I don't think it will be enough to make the Olympics.

He's listed in the 200m free, 200m fly, 100m free, 200m IM and 100m fly.

 

Here's the entry list for the US trials.
