@NearPup @intoronto Given the disappointing results at the American trials on the 100 freestyle (women), is there a chance that Canada will make it difficult for Australia to win the 4x100 freestyle? With Oleksiak and Ruck that should work?

Ruck is struggling. I think the 4x100 is out of question, unless another girl steps up.

 

Ruck just finished 12th!! in the 200m freestyle (top 10 qualify for finals), an event she has gone 1:54 before and is the 2018 Commonwealth Games champion.


The only thing is she struggled at the 2016 trials, and went to have outstanding performances in the relay.

It’s gonna be gold for Australia (unless they drown) and USA/Canada/China/GB/Netherlands for the minor medals.

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

We’ll have a better idea after they hold the women’s 100m free at trials, but Australia really looks like a lock. Ruck looks out of form right now.

Someone in the swimswam comments said she may have a wrist injury. I would be more worried about the 4x200m than the 100m but let’s see how the rest of the trials pan out.

Day 2 Canadian trials

 

Women's 200m free: Summer Mcintosh wins! (1:56.19) Penny Oleksiak ( 1:57.24) is second and was already nominated. Rebecca Smith (1:57.76) and Katerine Savard (1:57.79) were third and fourth and will be named to the relay team most likely. 

 

Men's 200m free: No one qualifies, no relay either. Peter Brothers at 1:49.07 top finisher, and might qualify through the B standard.

 

Women's 100m breast: Kelsey Wog (1:06.77)

 

Men's 100m breast: No A standard, top finisher:  Gabe Mastromatteo 1:00.75

:USA Simone Manuel made the US team at the very last moment, winning the women's 50 free.

I hope Simone could be fit enough to win the gold medal. But if she can't, I won't fault her considering her health issues. Making the team after a quick turnaround from her health issues is an achievement in itself.

:CAN Canadian Olympic trials, day 3

 

Women's 800m Free

  • Summer McIntosh - 8:29.48

 

Men's 1500m Free - no automatic qualifier

 

Women's 200m IM

  • Sydney Pickrem - 2:09.24
  • Kelsey Wog - 2:10.21

 

Men's 200m IM

  • Finlay Knox - 1:58.07

 

Women's 50m Free

  • Kayla Sanchez - 24.66

 

Men's 50m Free

  • Brent Hayden - 21.80
  • Joshua Liendo - 21.90


Really happy to see Hayden’s comeback pay off. I don’t think he has a realistic chance to medal in Tokyo unless the mixed medley relay does something special but it will be nice for the team to have him around.

    • Johaug was looking very good in Beitostoelen yesterday, to say the least.   https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/results.html?sectorcode=CC&raceid=46969
    • The only reasons Johaug won't compete are either injury or mis-treating her sunburnt lips again.
    • https://www.fis-ski.com/cross-country/news/2024-25/johaug-returns-there-is-an-element-of-fear
    • i think she will, she will come back like Vonn, Hirscher etc.

    • Hallberg MAGIC!  Amazing on the last flat sector!
    • Johaug will not be competing in Milano-Cortina.
    • Noel- 1st place today after 1 run, Amiez- 3rd place... Vinatzer is a talent similar to Noel, so I ask where are his results, where are the other skiers in the lead of classification? Did they really think they would ride on one Gross and Razzoli until 2026?
    • The problem of the Italian federation is that her system doesn`t work and we can`t afford to lose talents like Colturi. Our slalom does not exist, whether among women or men. We are currently at a level under that Croatia in women and Bulgaria in the men's category. There is no progress, in fact there is regression, because while Vinatzer often didn`t finish runs a few years ago, when he did finish he was able to be in the top. Now he either doesn`t finish or is around 20th place, like now. In the women's category the peak of our abilities is Peterlini, who regularly placed around 20th place in the World Cup... If we can`t afford to invest more than Albania and that with the Winter Olympics in a year at home, so I think we can really dissolve our ski sector and focus on something else... If the federation is satisfied with such low levels, let them continue   Btw. maybe it's better investing in private teams like Colturi, if it works? I'd like have 1-2 Colturi in private teams, who will stand on the podiums of the World Cup, than a national team consisting of 5-6 average skiers, who can take 20th place at most, if they finish the race at all...
