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:

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)

Malyutin 3:44.18

Wellbrock 3:44.35

Auböck 3:44.51

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

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).

    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything
