Swimming Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

According to the qualification document if there are less than two swimmers qualified in an event at trials Swimming Canada will nominate the next best ranked swimmer that has the A standard, and will nominate the best swimmer with the B standard and a FINA invitation in events where Canada doesn't have anyone qualified, as long as they pass a "review for competitive readiness", which is defined as them being reasonably able to match their qualifying time at the Olympics.

 

The document very specifically says will, not may. From my reading of the document the only real discretion is if a swimmer is injured or otherwise no longer in good enough form to hit the standard.

Which means Kisil would go, beating out Hayden by 0.04!

Interesting. I was under the inpression that they likely wouldn’t be taking some of the B standard athletes. I think with the priority listing in the qualification document they may not but didn’t notice the wording. 

There is absolute discretion in so far as what constitutes fitness, but by the wording of both the nomination document and the definition of fitness anyone who hits an A standard or a B standard at trials and who is invited by FINA should be selected.

:ITA Gregorio Paltrinieri got mononucleosis...

 

most likely, he's going to miss the Olympics, but even if he pulls out a miracle and recovers in time, he will be chanceless in terms of medals...

 

we're ruined...:facepalm: :cry:

We're entering the period in which if you get a sickness (from covid to anything more serious) you say bye bye to medals, unless you're part of a team sport squad.

I'm curious how he got mononucleosis in the first place.

50 year old :BUR Siphiwe Baleka, who competed at the 1992 US Olympic trials under his birth name Tony Blake, will compete at the Olympics. First swimmer from Burkina Faso.

So much for CBC hyping Brent as the oldest swimmer

1) He could still recover in time.

2) You have more than enough other medal chances:

Miressi (100 free)

Detti (400/800 free)

De Tullio (400 free)

Acerenza (1500 free, if Paltrinieri doesn’t compete)

Martinenghi (100 breast)

Burdisso (200 fly)

Maybe men’s 400 free relay

Maybe Razzetti (400 IM)

Quadarella (800/1500 free)

Pilato/Carraro (100 breast)

Panziera (200 back)

I came up with the following rankings:

 

Mens 400 free:

Winnington 3:42.65

McLoughlin 3:43.27

Malyutin 3:44.18

Wellbrock 3:44.35

Auböck 3:44.51

Detti 3:44.65

De Tullio 3:44.83

Märtens 3:44.86

 

Mens 400 IM:

Seto 4:09.02

Kalisz 4:09.09

Marchand 4:09.65

Clareburt 4:09.87

Borodin 4:10.02

Smith 4:10.04

Litherland 4:10.33

Razzetti 4:11.17

 

Mens 100 breast:

Peaty 57.39

Kamminga 57.90

Andrew 58.14

Martineghi 58.37

Shymanovich 58.46

Wilson 58.50

Wilby 58.58

Schwingenschlögel 58.95

 

Womens 400 free:

Titmus 3:56.90

Ledecky 3:59.25

Bingjie Li 4:02.36

Cook 4:04.10

Egorova 4:04.10

Quadarella 4:04.66

Madden 4:04.86

McIntosh 4:05.13

 

Womens 400 IM:

Weyant 4:33.81

Flickinger 4:33.96

Hosszu 4:34.76

Ohashi 4:35.14

Willmott 4:35.70

Yiting Yu 4:35.94

Mihalyvari-Farkas 4:36.81

Franceschi 4:37.06

 

Womens 100 fly:

Huske 55.66

Yufei Zhang 55.73

McKeon 55.93

MacNeil 56.14

Curzan 56.43

Hansson 56.73

Throssell 57.11

Sjöstrom 57.34

 

I think MacNeil and McIntosh will improve on their times today. O‘Croinin in the 400 might also join the top 8 today and later on 1 or 2 Canadian women could also make the 400 IM Top 8.

 

Only change in those events after the Canadian trials:

Pickrem moves into 8th spot in women’s 400 IM with 4:37.03

 

I will post the top 8 for all events (relays included) at the end of the week (in case anyone is interested).

    • Thank you! And I wish  win your medals at these Games and continue medal streak! For us even one medal will mark the Games as successfull.  
    • Trump will attack Iran soon , maybe tonight   
    • Yep, that was really unfortunate, but well, such things happens. Anyway this amount of lugers is really impressive.   Congrats and good luck at the Games
    • Yeah, Qualifying a team for the summer olympics is completely out of the question. Not going to happen for a long time. In Sydney 2000 we had 3 teams W Basketball, M Football & M Water Polo, it was already insane and this was even in a totally different era. Nowadays it is just Utopian. We have none to be at a high level in Europe to aspire for a qualification to the Olympics.   W Handball is really the most obvious chance in a long shot. The U17 girls showed last summer that it is possible, who knows maybe in Brisbane if the planets allign well.    Paris 2024 was a nightmare I do not want to remember. The worst games I experienced in my life. point.
    • Khm, do we know the fate of the  license in pairs? I did not see confirmation of their entry.   If they fail  must get full license (team + individual) and one more place for team event will be available, am I correct?
    • Honestly, we did not expect more than 8. 2 additional places happened just becaues your double could not grab it due to the injury(?).
    • Vivat Slovakia    But in all seriousness, it's been repeatedly stated how important it is to qualify in a team event for the next Summer Olympics. However, I have no idea if we even have a realistic chance.   We only have one fewer individual athlete competing this year than we did in Paris, so individual quota spots aren't the main issue. Where can we find a competitive team, like we do in hockey? Maybe the women's handball team could start something big, but that's still far in the future, very likely unachievable in just two years.   And to be clear, as horrific as our medal tally from Paris looked, those were some of the unluckiest Olympics for Slovakia I have ever seen. Finishing in the top six seven times (!) is absolutely insane.
    • Biathlon (6 - 2W; 4M)   Anastasia Tolmacheva Andreea Mezdrea (our media put her in)   George Buta Raul Flore Dmitri Shamaev George Coltea   Bobsleigh (4M + 1 reserve)   Constantin Dinescu George Iordache Mihai Păcioianu Mihai Tentea     Figure Skating (1W)   Julia Sauter - flag bearer       Luge (7 - 3W; 4M)   Corina Buzatoiu Carmen Manolescu Raluca Stramaturaru   Denis Serban Marian Gîtlan Eduard Craciun Valentin Cretu     Ski Jumping (4 - 2W; 2M)   Delia Floea Daniela Haralambie   Daniel Cacina Mihnea Spulber   Alpine skiing (2 - 1W; 1M)   Sofia Moldovan   Alexandru Stefanescu   Nordic skiing (3 - 1W; 2M)   Delia Reit   Paul Pepene Gabriel Cojocaru   Snowboard (2W)   Kata Mandel Henrietta Bartalis   For me it’s a very special edition because two of my friends (Edi Craciun and Gabi Cojocaru) made it. So fingers crossed for them and for the whole delegation.   We don’t expect to much as usual in winter games (1-2 top 10 - luge team, women’s doubles luge, 2man bobsleigh, and maybe Julia Sauter if she will skate clean both programs)
