Ledecky finally might have found a worthy competitor and it’s a 14 yo girl from Canada. There is no question that she will qualify for the Olympics, the only question is how many events she will qualify in. My guess is that she will qualify in 4 individual events + the 800 free relay and she might very well become this Olympic Games Penny Oleksiak (although in other events). Canada is really blessed in women’s swimming, it would be great if Germany could learn from them.

 

Might be an interesting question/quiz:

Will she be the youngest medalist at the Olympics? I think she has a realistic chance, unless there is some younger girl in skateboarding, but obviously winning a medal in swimming would be far more impressive.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

there are younger girls in Skateboarding who are locked medals...actually, the whole podium in women's Park could well be under-14...:yikes:

There was a small high performance meet in Toronto for swimmers based there. Here are some key results:

 

Men:

Finlay Knox, 20, broke the NR in the 200im, swimming to a 1:58.88. 

 

Women:

Summer McIntosh, 14, smashed an age group record in the 200m, 1:57.65, beating the prior time set by Taylor Rock at 2:00.52.

Maggie MacNeil/Rebecca Smith/Kayla Sanchez all had personal bests in the 100m, which bodes well for the 4x100 relay.

 

 

However, some troubling results too for ex. Taylor Ruck was only 5th in the 100m

New junior world record in men’s 200 free with 1:44.96 for 18 year old Hwang Sunwoo from South Korea. The men’s 200 free at the Olympics could be super quick, there are at least 10 guys who are capable of going sub 1:45 (2 Americans, 2 australians, Dean, Scott, Rapsys, Hwang, Yang, maybe some Russians, Matsumoto).

      Hoffman & Raimund are the only Germans who had decent results this season. Geiger did nothing aka even less than Paschke and one dead cat bounce here after OG nominations shouldn't matter and it clearly doesn't. I support German nomnations. Geiger should be nowhere near 2026 OG.

      Paschke is completely out of form, so if he were to withdraw on his own, they could make a change for medical reasons? For now, Geiger should be jumping in duets with Hoffman, as Raimund is weaker now.
