@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.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
