That is crazy, 48.25 would have come 5th at the 2015 World Championships in the 100m Free and he would have made the final at London 2012.

For the Women's 53.88 would have put her 9th at London 2012 and 6th at 2015 World Championships.

Hopefully they have another think about their selection policy and allow the two of them to compete at the Olympics.

We’ll see, they might let them (and possibly the second place finishers) compete since they are already competing in the relay.

Apparently Kosuke Kitajima has announced the end of his career. He swam the Japanese standard in the 100 breast in the semi-finals, but the Japanese rules apparently say he had to do so in the final, which he didn't...so no Rio for him

Not a bad day for the Canadian team, only one quota left on the table. Our relay team is extremely young, with everyone between the ages of 18 and 22. Lacroix is the oldest team member at 32. With the exception of Lacroix, Cochran and Weinberger every swimmer Canada has qualified is under the age of 25.

Santo Condorelli false started in the 100m butterfly and thus will not compete in the finals. Canada may not have anyone competing in the mens's 100m fly because of that.
