      That's huge. Obviously he's been off it this year, but I was still working on the basis that he would come good again in time for Paris. Wiffen with a huge shot at two medals now if he can stay fit from here to the games.

      2024 Canadian Olympic Swimming Trials: Day 3 Preview Image Source Kylie Masse looks to qualify in the 100m backstroke for the 3rd straight Olympics Although not as stacked of a day as Day 2, Day 3 still presents qualification opportunities in all 4 events with a lot of intrigue surrounding who will be on the men's 4x200m freestyle relay. Men's 200m Freestyle Despite the mediocre entry times, this should still be a fun and close race with relay spots on the line. Javier Acevedo comes in with the top seed. His 200m freestyle times have improved vastly over the past two years with 3 of his best 4 swims coming in that time period. His personal best of 1:47.72 was set at the 2023 Canadian Trials. This year, he’s set times of 1:49.82 at the Knoxville TYR Pro Swim Series and 1:48.89 at the 2024 World Championships. He’ll be looking for back to back Canadian Championships in this event. Finlay Knox is also expected to contend for top spot in this race. While his PB still remains at the 1:47.92 he clocked at 2022 Canadian trials, he has already produced times of 1:48.17 and 1:48.39 at the 2024 World Championships and Canadian Open. He failed to break the 1:49.00 mark altogether in 2023 so this is a very encouraging sign that Finley can get back to the 1:47 mark in time for trials and be a key contributor on the relay. Patrick Hussey will be trying to get into the 1:47 range for the first time in his career. He broke through in this event in a big way last year clocking 1:48.39 at Canadian Trials, dropping over a second off his previous PB. Since then, he’s followed that up with a 1:49.91 at the Canadian Championships and times of 1:48.67 and 1:48.79 at the US Open in December. He doesn’t have a recorded long course time in the event this year so it’s hard to gage where he’s at. Lorne Wigginton is one of the new faces in this event for Canada. However, the Canadian coaches already seem to have a lot of trust in him by using him as an anchor for the 4x200m Freestyle Relay in Doha where he split 1:47.83. This year, he went 1:48.84 at the Canadian Open to smash his previous PB of 1:50.87 from the 2023 Canadian Championships. His new PB puts him right in the middle of contention. At the other end of the spectrum, we have 32 year old Jeremy Bagshaw. This is his best chance to qualify for his first Olympics. His personal best rests at 1:47.48 back from 2015. Over the Olympic qualification period, his best time stands at 1:49.27 from 2023 Canadian trials. He’s gone under 1:50 once this year at the Flander’s Cup in 1:49.84. He’ll likely need to drop some time if he wants to grab one of the relay spots. We go back to the youth as Laon Kim is next on the entry list. Kim is arguably the most exciting teenage swimmer in Canada at the moment (who’s first name is not a season). He has 7 individual long course age group records to his name and he’ll figure this is his best chance of making it on the Olympic Team. After going 1:52.82 at Canadian Trials last year, he broke that mark 3 more times to finally set his PB at 1:49.62 at the Canadian Championships. He most recently went 1:51.25 to take 2nd place in the event at the Fran Crippen Memorial Meet. Given his young age and talent level, he could very well have another significant time drop. Josh Liendo might be the most interesting entry here. Known mostly as a 50m and 100m swimmer, he’s done the 200m freestyle sparingly over the years. He swam a PB of 1:49.88 in the heats of Canadian Trials last year before scratching the final. However, given his talent upside, it’s possible that he has a 1:47 time in him. Tristan Jankovics, Filip Senc-Samardzic and Ethan Ekk will also look to build upon their PBs that they’ve set this season. Women's 100m Backstroke A mix of veterans and teenagers make this one of the more interesting races at these Olympic trials. To no one’s surprise, Kylie Masse comes in as the top seed. Masse has done just about everything you can in international swimming besides winning an Olympic gold medal. However, she had a rough season last year failing to win an individual medal at World Championships and only breaking 59 seconds one time. She’s already looking in much better form this year going 58.93 at the Spanish Winter Championships in February. She didn’t break 59 seconds at all at an in season meet so this bodes well for this summer. Given her track record and ability to put down fast times when it matters, we would expect Masse to have no problems qualifying for her 3rd Olympics. Someone who has yet to make an Olympic appearance is Ingrid Wilm. Now 25 years old, she’s been swimming the best she’s ever swam in long course. She’s had more success in short course over her career but now she’s finally translating her swims to the bigger pool. Last year she broke 59 seconds for the 1st time in her career going 58.80 to stun Masse at 2023 Trials. She would follow that up with a 5th place showing at 2023 World Championships where she went 59.11. She clocked her 2nd sub 59 time at the 2024 World Championships this year where she led off the medley relay in 58.95. Having broken the minute mark 6 times this year (most recently at the Canadian Open), she’s on good track to make finally make the Olympic team. Not many people expected Summer McIntosh to swim this event but here she is as the 3rd seed. More known for her freestyle, butterfly and IM swimming, McIntosh also happens to be a world class backstroker as well. After going 1:00.25 at the 2023 Orlando Sectionals, she destroyed that mark a year later setting her current PB at 59.64. She also went 59.96 to place 2nd in this event at the Canadian Open. Given her immense talent, it’s possible she might place in the top two here. However, the chances of her actually swimming this in Paris are next to none. Taylor Ruck comes in with the 2nd fastest PB in the field but is only seeded 4th year. She had an injury plagued 2023 with her only appearances coming at a World Cup stop in Budapest where she recorded a time of 1:01.24. This year she’s swam this event at all 3 Pro Swim Series stops recording times of 1:01.04, 1:00.30 and 1:00.47. She’s trending in the right direction and if she rounds back into form, she’ll challenge for an individual spot. The backstroke events at these trials feature two of the more exciting teenagers at these trials. The first of which is Delia Lloyd. She’s shown immense improvement over the last year. After going 1:02.44 at 2023 Canadian trials, she then lowered that time to 1:01.83 at the Summer Ontario Championships before placing a respectable 5th at the World Junior Championships in 1:01.08. She’s done even better this year winning the Winter Ontario Championships in 1:00.45. She most recently went 1:00.68 at the Canadian Open. With her continued improvement, she could very well get under the OCT or even the OQT. The other exciting teenage prospect is Madison Kryger. She made waves last summer at the Canadian Championships where she become the #2 Canadian performer in the 13-14 age group. Now 15 years old, she lowered her PB to under 1:02 at the Winter Ontario Championships (1:01.48) and at the recent Canadian Open, moved her PB under 1:01 in 1:00.81. She’s got serious potential and is one to watch in this race. Men's 200m Breaststroke To be honest, I don’t have much to say about this event. With James Dergousoff not here, this event looks like it’ll be one man vs. the clock. Brayden Taivassalo will be the man to watch here. His PB of 2:10.89 is almost 4 seconds ahead of the next fastest swimmer entered in this event. Last year, he had the swim of his life to upset James Dergousoff at Canadian Trials. The 2:11.28 he swum was a whopping 7 seconds faster than he was at 2022 Trials (although he did gradually improve to a 2:14.54 before trials). He would improve on that again at the Pan American Games to win silver with a time of 2:10.89 to put him within potential striking distance of the OQT. This past year, he capped his stellar NCAA season with a win in the 200 yard breaststroke at the Big 12 Championships. He could very well be due for another time drop. After that, the times are uninspiring to say the least. Justice Migneault, Apollo Hess and Gabe Mastromatteo have all had 2:14 clockings their career. Migneault had the most recent of those times swimming at the 2023 Canadian Trials. It’ll be interesting to see if Mastromatteo can round back to his 2019-21 form. If there is a swimmer who has the potential to be the Taivassalo from last year’s trials (i.e drop serious time), it’s Oliver Dawson. Despite being born in 2008, he comes in with the 6th fastest time. After going 2:18.48 at last years’ Canadian Trials, he went 2:17.70 at the World Junior Championships and recently set a new PB of 2:17.13 at the Western Canadian Championships. Women's 1500m Freestyle Just like the men’s 200m breaststroke, this looks like a one-woman race vs. the clock especially with the absence of the likes of Katrina Bellio and Abby Dunford. Emma Finlin comes in with the top time by almost 30 seconds. She’s been on a significant improvement curve over the past few years. After being stuck in the 16:40 range for a year, she produced a time of 16:31.49 in March 2023 at the Alberta Provincial Championships before smashing that mark 27 days later at Canadian trials to record a mark of 16:20.61. She’s only swum this event twice after that though. First was a 16:15.77 at the 2023 World Championships to finish 12th. She also swam a 16:33.49 at the Western Canadian Championships. The one advantage she has over every other swimmer at these trials is that she’s already qualified for Paris in the open water events. That means that as long as she reaches the OCT of 16:13.94, she should be qualified in the 1500m freestyle too. That is a time that she’s less than two seconds away from. After Finlin, we have Laila Oravsky, Julia Strojnowska, and Megan Willar who are all in the 16:40 range. Of those swimmers, Strojnowska has the fastest season’s best and could be the swimmer who could drop a lot of time here.
