If anyone is staying up late enough watch the Brazilian swimming trials. 4 men will be fighting for 2 100m breaststroke spots.

 

How late is late enough?

Maria Lenk Trophy (Brazilian trials) - Day 1

 

For brazilian trials, the criteria is very simple: achieve the Olympic standard and you're in (the two best times will qualify if more than 2 athletes achieve the standard). Remember that brazilian athletes had two qualifying tournaments for the Games - the Open in December, and now the Maria Lenk Trophy, the last chance to meet the standards. After the first day, the following athletes are guaranteed in the Olympics:

 

Men's 100m Breaststroke - João Gomes Jr. (59.06) and Felipe França (59.36)

Men's 400m Freestyle - Luiz Altamir Melo (3:50.32)

Men's 400m Individual Medley - Brandonn Almeida (4:14.07)

Women's 100m Butterfly - Daiene Dias (58.04) and Daynara de Paula (58.38)

Women's 400m Individual Medley - Joanna Maranhão (4:38.66)

 

As many of you may know, current silver medalist Thiago Pereira decided that he won't participate in the 400m IM event at Rio Olympics.

South Africa Trials - Day 6

 

Men's 50m Freestyle - Brad Tandy, Douglas Erasmus

Men's 100m Butterfly - Chad Le Clos

 

All the times were made in the semi-finals. Also Tatjana Schoenmaker was 0.01 second from being South Africa's first female qualifier to the 2016 Olympics

Joao Gomez was the ex doped? Or He was another people?

South Africa Trials - Day 7

Great Britain Trials - Day 5

 

Women's 400m Freestyle - Jazmin Carlin

Women's 200m IM - Siobhan-Marie O’Connor

Russian Trials - Day 1

 

Men's 400m Freestyle - Aleksandr Krasnykh

 

Russia has changed their qualification format. First place automatically qualifies (provided they have beaten the standard) while an athlete which missed the trials can apply for a consideration provided that they were faster than the second place swimmer and have also swam faster than the standard (I call this the Efimova rule).

Maria Lenk Trophy (Brazilian trials) - Day 2

 

After the second day of competition (and combining the results with the brazilian Open), are qualified for the Olympics:

 

Men's 100m Backstroke - Guilherme Guido (53.09)

Men's 200m Freestyle - Nicolas Oliveira (1:46.97) and João de Lucca (1:47.65)

Women's 100m Backstroke - Etiene Medeiros (1:00.00)

 

No athletes achieved the standards in Women's 400m Freestyle and Women's 100m Breaststroke.

 

In addition to the two above, Luiz Altamir Melo (already qualified yesterday for 400m Freestyle) and André Pereira will complete the Men's 4x200m Freestyle Relay team. Jhennifer Conceição will be selected for the Breaststroke portion of our women's medley relay if we confirm the quota.
