Teenage swimming sensation Erika Fairweather's notched up another remarkable achievement today, qualifying for next year's Olympics.

Competing in the Auckland championships late this afternoon, Fairweather comfortably booked her place at the Tokyo games.

The 16-year-old posted a time of 4 minutes, 7.43 seconds in the 400-metre freestyle - a time which is nearly five tenths of a second under the qualifying time.

"I cant even put it into words, I'm just so gobsmacked I guess," Fairweather said.

"Im not going to lie, it hurt a lot but I was really determined and I wanted to get the time so I'm just glad I was able to pull it off."

Some news from the Italian national championship...

 

Ceccon, born in 2001, won the 100m backstroke with 52.84 and destroyed the National Record :cheer:

Obliviously, he won the Olympic Pass.

2nd place for Sabbioni with only 53.44, no pass for him.

Italian Record, 4th European time EVER, Olympic pass! Amazing performance for Pilato (15 years old) that won the 100m breaststroke with 1.06.02".

Carraro was very close to the time limit, with 1.06.58"

Benedetta Pilato qualified for Tokyo in 100 breastroke in 1.06.02, Carraro 1.06.58 and Castiglione 1.07.01 not qualified yet, in March another chances with easier time to achieve. 

I hope at the end Italy will bring to Tokyo all the 3 girls

Bennyyyyyyy! :yikes:

 

15-year young sensation Benedetta Pilato just swam 1.06.02 (50m pool) in the women's 100m Breaststroke at the Italian Winter Champs...

 

obviously it's a new National record and also the Olympic pass for her...

 

Martina carraro was second in the same race, but swimming "only" 1.06.58, she didn't get the Olympic pass (it was 1.06.4 in this event)...

 

of course she's gonna have more chances to book her Olympic spot next year...

p.s. looking at this thread, this championship's broadcast should have record share/ratings...:rofl:

 

but tomorrow we'll surely read that the actual rating is 0.00003% :nopompom: :facepalm: :hairpull:

Benedetta Pilato is extremely impressive. I wonder how much faster than today she will be able to swim in Tokyo. A medal looks more and more within her reach. That would be something. Ruta Meilutyte was 15 years old when she won in London, remember?

who knows? she's young and strong, however she doesn't look your average 16-year girl...most likely she's going to improve 1 further second in 8 months time, which won't be enough to beat Lilly King...

I hope she can at least win a medal...

    • You guys know how does it work if one or two Olympic Quotas need to be decided by teams both defeated in the QF or in the SF?    
    • I stand with Ukraine of course, and it’s really horrible hearing about all the things going on with the war, Belarus (and Russia) should definitely be banned from competing because of it, and at the very least certainly not competing under their own flag but… if you’re going to do that for those two surely other countries should be punished as well, I can think of a few that have definitely done things along the same line? 
    • The invasion towards Kyiv was started in 2022 from the territory of belarus. Belarussian infrrustructrure is beeing used for drone attacks on Ukraine. Belarus is involved in illegal transfers of stolen Ukrainian children from the occupied territories.
    • I think they can find at least one more venue in the United States.    LA has one venue because that is all they need for a 6-team tournament. 
    • So good to finally get a  medal.    C4 here showed absolutely 0% of the cross country today except on You Tube. 
    • American Qualification for 28 olympic seems to be given to SF qualified team in America   A2 vs B1(probably US, who is not related to this qualification process) .. A2 is difficult to be in SF A1 vs B2 seems likely to be Puerto Rico vs Mexico . So the winner would go to SF and win the ticekt   Japan vs Venezuela(?) : I think Venezuela also have high chances to win, but the Japan would be >50% in SF.  DR(?) vs Korea : DR could be also the winner (maybe >90%).  This Means that DR and PRorMexico(?) would have the highest chance to be in olympics.

    • Yeah all the new team sports have 6 teams. Squash only will have 16 entries per gender. I think they could've made an exception for baseball though. It's super popular in America. Venue should be packed for a lot of the games, especially for USA and other American nations.    I think it's a miss by the IOC to not have 10-12 teams to ensure that Mexico, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and more American nations have a good chance to get in. Those nations have a large population in LA and would fill the venue.
