Swimming Qualification for Summer Olympic Games 2016

Why? What are the changes that differ the swimming selection policy for the upcoming Rio 2016 from London 2012?

 

The statement "top two finish in each individual event with an OQT" wasn't true in 2012 and it isn't true now! In 2012 it was sufficient for the winner of the race to achieve the OQT. For the second placed swimmer to gain selection they had to achieve an OQT and that time had to be faster than the time of the 16th placed athlete  in the LC rankings.

 

See http://www.swimming.org/assets/uploads/library/2012_Olympic_Games_Pool_Selection_Policy_-_Final_Amended_19_Dec_11.pdf

 

In particular see clause 1.4.2 - "The 2nd place in each individual event will be filled by the 2nd fastest 'available' swimmer in the final of that event on condition that they have achieved the world long course ranked Top 16 (2 per nation) time as set out in Table 1 in the 'trials' final of the said event. Such a nomination will be subject to clause 3.2"

 

Most, if not all,  of the target times for the second placed swimmers were faster than the OQT. As an example Molly Renshaw finished second in the 200m breaststroke at the 2012 trials in an OQT but failed to secure selection after failing to achieve the Top 16 time. I've not finished analysing the 2016 policy yet but it appears that it may be even more complex than 2012 this time.

400 freestyle men > Miguel Durán

200 medley men > Eduardo Solaeche

400 medley men > Joan Lluis Pons

4x200 freestyle men > Cesar Castro / Miguel Durán / TBD / TBD

400 freestyle women > Melani Costa

800 freestyle women > Mireia Belmonte

100 breakstroke women > Jessica Vall

200 butterfly women > Mireia Belmonte

200 medley women > Mireia Belmonte

400 medley women > Mireia Belmonte / María Vilas

 

 

Between those who failed to make the team are Marina García, 2012 european 100 breakstroke bronze medallist and Judit Ignacio, 2014 european 200 butterfly silver medallist, although she can still reach the minimun in the 2016 European Championships. Mireia Belmonte wasn't able to compete in the 400 freestyle due to ilness but she can make the criterium if she competes in the European Championships.

I'm particulary sad for Marc Sanchez,because he missed the 1500 minimun by thousandths, but he had another chance in the European; and Victor Martín, who fainted before archiving a very promising time in the 200 freestyle heats and was medically unable to take part in the final, and because of that he can't secure neither the olympic relay spot or the european/olympic minimun selection criteria :cry:

Also, the national men's 4x100 freestyle relay competed and their time will secured at this moment an olympic spot.

What will happen if the French swimmers failed to reach the nation's Olympic qualifying cut for Rio? Damien Joly and Lara Grangeon did not attain the cut in the final.

I think that the french selecctium criterium has a rule about seleccting up to six swimmers without the time.

Six swimmers? Some people said that only six men and six women would be given chance to compete for France in Rio 2016 under the discretionary selection, or six swimmers regardless of gender?

"Favre has the ability to add 6 male and 6 female swimmers to France’s roster at the conclusion of the meet", according Swimswam.

Yannick Agnel, in theory, will not defend the Olympic title of the 200 freestyle: https://swimswam.com/controversial-finish-keeps-defending-olympic-champ-agnel-200-fr/

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
