While checking around for various team announcements, I came across the following statement from the Bermuda Olympic Association…

 

Quote

The Bermuda Olympic Association (BOA) confirms that it received and has declined offers by FINA (the international swimming federation) for two unqualified swimmers, one male and one female, to participate in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.  The Bermuda Amateur Swimming Association had submitted Madelyn Moore and Jesse Washington to be on the long list of potential qualifiers for the Games.Under the Olympic Charter's article 44, the governing document of the Olympic Games, each National Olympic Committee is responsible for sending to the Olympic Games "only those competitors adequately prepared for high level international competition." Following the Rio Games, in the best interest of athletes' overall development, the BOA adopted and has adhered to the practice of approving athletes' participation at international festivals if they meet the requisite qualifying standards for those festivals.  This practice has been applied consistently and without prejudice to all athletes in all sports for all competitions during the current quadrennial and has produced some of the most successful teams Bermuda has seen in recent times.

China finished trials but not announced the list yet. The debatable part is that if standard A in prelims and past events count when the number is not full in finals. My personal guess is that prelims count but past events don't. Still we don't know when to announce the list.

 finally announced the list, even stricter than what I expected. Only achieving standard A in trials finals could be named even the list is not full, all past events don't count and only one swimmer Chen Long achieving standard A in prelims named, the other one OG champion Ye Shiwen failed to be named.

Hahaha. They pronounce the same. But if written in Chinese they have different family names.
