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? :p 

 

 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

:BRA 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.

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?

:RUS 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).

:BRA 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.

    • Remember that Russia's IOC suspension was for a "breach of the Olympic Charter because it violated the territorial integrity of the NOC of Ukraine" not for any other reason. Restoring Russia without that changing would have huge repercussions for other nations.
    • It’s just a great weasel word.   We all want  to come back to International sport "when they are in compliance". But there are very differing opinions on what that means.
    • I doubt that.  It will mean only a doping rubber stamp and a promise not to swear at the ice skating moppets in public,
    • So, kind of forgotten about at the end of the summer season, we have two events to go in the World Triathlon Championship Series, the last WTCS regular season races of the year in Weihai , then the Final in  in mid-October.  All to play for because there are double points up for grabs in the last race, so effectively nothing really decided yet.  Races are tomorrow morning  time, so pretty much overnight in Europe.   Races are full Olympic length and apparently a hilly cycling course.  Here's the situation and preview for the Men.     World Triathlon Championship Series Weihai ready for another epic Wilde vs Yee battle | World Triathlon Championship Series   And for the women   Women's World Triathlon Championship Series rankings to heat up in Weihai | World Triathlon Championship Series    
    • "once it returns to compliance" would mean it renounces its claim to Crimea... Can't see that happening any time soon.
    • Maggie MacNeil   She was an Olympic, World (LC and SC) Pan American Games and Commonwealth Games Champion. Highly decorated career. 
    • when I raised the question, I forgot that that there was no U23 medals for women just a couple years ago...
    • it happens when you think too much ahead about the next match (vs Brazil) while you have a tough opponent ahead. they gave up 4 silly goals in the first half and then it was a mountain to climb.  Iran had a last penalty exactly in the last second which hit the bar   have to admit Iran played terrible the entire match and didn't deserve the win but Morocco is also a very ugly team. lots of acting, deceiving, diving and protesting in the 2nd half. putting Iran in 5 fouls very early which made the team playing cautious 
    • Morocco won after almost being stolen the victory by the refs. Those officials should be sent home after calling that joke foul in the last second.
    • and another medal. in Road Race this time.   Bronze despite a face crash in the middle of the race, her 5th medal of the year, 4th from 3 different sports World Championships
