  1. Julia Tunks now in the 36th qualifying position (32 qualify for Paris). 19 points away from the athlete in 32nd position.

  3. The latest world rankings are from March 19. We should hopefully get a ranking update today.
  4. Freestyle Ace Freya Anderson 'Unlikely' To Race At British Trials (swimswam.com) Not ideal (especially for the relays)

  10. Japanese Olympic Trials: Day 8 Final day of competition say 4 more qualification times and 3 new individual qualifiers. Men's 100m Butterfly: 1. Katsuhiro Matsumoto - 50.96 Q 2. Naoki Mizunuma - 51.23 Q 3. Genki Terakado - 51.33 4. Takeshi Kawamoto - 51.59 Matsumoto goes under 51 seconds to qualify for his 2nd individual event. 2022 World Championship silver medallist Mizunuma also manages to qualify. Also getting under the JASF QT was Genki Terakado. With the 100m butterfly results, we also know that Japan will send their men's 4x100m medley relay to the games. Women's 200m IM: 1. Yui Ohashi - 2:09.17 Q 2. Shiho Matsumoto - 2:09.90 Q 3. Mio Narita - 2:10.39 Just like Seto yesterday, Yui Ohashi qualifies for the Olympics at the last opportunity and will have a small chance to defend her 200 IM Olympic title. 2:09.17 is her fastest time since the Tokyo Olympics. Shiho Matsumoto also had the swim of her life after missing qualifying in the 100m butterfly by 0.01 seconds. Mio Narita was also under the JASF QT and just missed qualifying for her 2nd individual event. Women's 800m Freestyle: 1. Waka Kobori - 8:26.62 As with many others at these trials, Waka Kobori was under the AQUA OQT but missed the JASF QT. Though she'll likely get a spot as a relay swimmer so maybe she'll be allowed to swim this event. Nobody was close to qualifying in either the women's 50m freestyle or men's 1500m freestyle. And now we wait for the official team announcement. It should look something similar to below. Some relay-only swimmers may be removed/replaced, discretionary picks may be selected and qualified swimmers may add other events to their lineup. Probable Japanese Olympic Team (27 athletes) *relay-only swimmers are not confirmed Men (14): Yu Hanaguruma - 200m Breaststroke Tomoru Honda - 200m Butterfly Hidenari Mano - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Katsuhiro Matsumoto - 200m Freestyle, 100m Butterfly, 4x200m Freestyle Relay Tomoyuki Matsushita - 400m IM Riku Matsuyama - 4x100m Medley Relay Naoki Mizunuma - 100m Butterfly Tatsuya Murasa - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Daiya Seto - 200m IM Hidekazu Takahara - 200m Backstroke Taku Taniguchi - 4x100m Medley Relay Genki Terakado - 200m Butterfly Ippei Watanabe - 200m Breaststroke Konosuke Yanagimoto - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Women (13): Reona Aoki - 100m Breaststroke Mizuki Hirai - 100m Butterfly, 4x100m Medley Relay Rikako Ikee - 100m Butterfly, 4x100m Medley Relay Nagisa Ikemoto - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Waka Kobori - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Hiroko Makino - 200m Butterfly, 4x200m Freestyle Relay Shiho Matsumoto - 200m IM Airi Mitsui - 200m Butterfly Mio Narita - 400m IM Yui Ohashi - 200m IM Rio Shirai - 4x200m Freestyle Relay, 4x100m Medley Relay Satomi Suzuki - 100m Breaststroke, 200m Breaststroke, 4x100m Medley Relay Ageha Tanigawa - 400m IM
  11. Meanwhile, Korean Olympic trials are also happening now, here's the confirmed qualifiers through 2/6 days. Choi Dongyeol - Men's 100m breaststroke Kim Minseop - Men's 200m butterfly Kim Woomin - Men's 1500m freestyle Lee Eunji - Women's 200m backstroke Lee Juho - Men's 200m backstroke
  12. Japanese Olympic Trials: Day 7 One more qualifier from today. Daiya Seto (1:56.87) was able to avoid disaster and finally qualify himself onto the Japanese team in the 200 IM and now the door is open for him to swim in the 400 IM too. So Ogata (1:57.52) was under the AQUA OQT BUT MISSED THE JASF QT BY 0.01 SECONDS!!! No qualifiers in both the men's 50m freestyle and women's 200m backstroke. One more day of competition tomorrow and then we'll hopefully get a team announcement soon after. Updated probable Japanese Olympic Team (22 athletes) *relay-only swimmers are not confirmed Men (11): Yu Hanaguruma - 200m Breaststroke Tomoru Honda - 200m Butterfly Hidenari Mano - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Katsuhiro Matsumoto - 200m Freestyle, 4x200m Freestyle Relay Tomoyuki Matsushita - 400m IM Tatsuya Murasa - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Daiya Seto - 200m IM Hidekazu Takahara - 200m Backstroke Genki Terakado - 200m Butterfly Ippei Watanabe - 200m Breaststroke Konosuke Yanagimoto - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Women (11): Reona Aoki - 100m Breaststroke Mizuki Hirai - 100m Butterfly, 4x100m Medley Relay Rikako Ikee - 100m Butterfly, 4x100m Medley Relay Nagisa Ikemoto - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Waka Kobori - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Hiroko Makino - 200m Butterfly, 4x200m Freestyle Relay Airi Mitsui - 200m Butterfly Mio Narita - 400m IM Rio Shirai - 4x200m Freestyle Relay, 4x100m Medley Relay Satomi Suzuki - 100m Breaststroke, 200m Breaststroke, 4x100m Medley Relay Ageha Tanigawa - 400m IM
  13. Japanese Olympic Trials: Day 6 4 new qualifcation times and 2 new qualifiers today. Women's 200m Butterfly: 1. Airi Mitsui - 2:06.54 Q 2. Hiroko Makino - 2:07.61 Q 3. Chiho Mizuguchi - 2:08.23 Mitsui now ranks 5th in the world this season. Makino adds an individual event to her lineup after finishing in the 200m freestyle earlier. Men's 200m Backstroke: 1. Hidekazu Takahara - 1:56.28 Q 2. Keita Sunama - 1:57.01 Big swim by Takahara to rank 8th in the world this season. Heartbreak for Sunama who missed the qualification time by 0.09 seconds. 34 year old Ryosuke finishes in 3rd and that very well may be the last we see of him. Women's 200m Breaststroke: 1. Satomi Suzuki - 2:23.09 Q 2. Kanako Watanabe - 2:23.55 3. Runa Imai - 2:23.69 The legend of Satomi Suzuki grows as she has now qualified in a 2nd individual event. Heartbreaking for both Watanabe and Imai who both put in good swims but were short of the JASF standard. Updated probable Japanese Olympic Team (21 athletes) *relay-only swimmers are not confirmed Men (10): Yu Hanaguruma - 200m Breaststroke Tomoru Honda - 200m Butterfly Hidenari Mano - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Katsuhiro Matsumoto - 200m Freestyle, 4x200m Freestyle Relay Tomoyuki Matsushita - 400m IM Tatsuya Murasa - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Hidekazu Takahara - 200m Backstroke Genki Terakado - 200m Butterfly Ippei Watanabe - 200m Breaststroke Konosuke Yanagimoto - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Women (11): Reona Aoki - 100m Breaststroke Mizuki Hirai - 100m Butterfly, 4x100m Medley Relay Rikako Ikee - 100m Butterfly, 4x100m Medley Relay Nagisa Ikemoto - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Waka Kobori - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Hiroko Makino - 200m Butterfly, 4x200m Freestyle Relay Airi Mitsui - 200m Butterfly Mio Narita - 400m IM Rio Shirai - 4x200m Freestyle Relay, 4x100m Medley Relay Satomi Suzuki - 100m Breaststroke, 200m Breaststroke, 4x100m Medley Relay Ageha Tanigawa - 400m IM
  14. Right now, Japan is at around 19 athletes. The rest of their relays should be able to qualify. I'm guessing the team will be around 30 athletes.
  15. Japanese Olympic Trials: Day 5 A much more eventful day with 4 new qualifiers. Women's 100m Freestyle: The women's 100m freestyle saw Rikako Ikee take the victory with a time of 54.15. Well off the QT of 53.12 needed to qualify but with that swim, Japan has officially qualified a women's medley relay with the 4 stroke 100 swimmers combining for a time under the JASF required time. So Ikee will probably swim the freestyle leg. Men's 200m Butterfly: 1. Genki Terakado - 1:54.07 Q 2. Tomoru Honda - 1:54.18 Q 3. Daiya Seto - 1:55.40 4. Takumi Terada - 1:55.45 5. Riku Tanbo - 1:55.67 A massive PB by Terakado to stun 2024 World Champion Honda. He also had by far the most emotional celebration of any swimmer after the race. While Honda didn't win, he also gets under the required time and he avoids disaster again after the 400 IM. Seto has one more chance in the 200 IM to qualify. Despite winning his semifinal, Terada finishes in 4th. Terakado and Honda now rank #1 and #2 in the world so far this year. Men's 200m Breaststroke: 1. Ippei Watanabe - 2:06.94 Q 2. Yu Hanaguruma - 2:07.07 Q 3. Yamato Fukasawa - 2:07.75 4. Ikuru Hiroshima - 2:09.39 One of the most anticipated races of not just Japanese trials but the entire trials season lived up to the hype. Ippei Watanabe went sub 2:07 to take the #1 time in the world this year and qualify for the Olympics again after missing Tokyo. Hanaguruma also threw down a massive PB to qualify and rank #3 in the world. Heartbreak for Yamato Fukasawa who threw down a time of 2:07.07 earlier this year. That would have tied Hanaguruma. Women's 1500m Freestyle: 1. Airi Ebina - 16:07.00 A huge PB by Ebina to take the win here. Her time is under the OQT and would get her to the games in most other countries but isn't under the JASF standard . Men's 100m Freestyle: 1. Katsuhiro Matsumoto - 48.28 Another win for Matsumoto. Ultimately fell short of the 47.97 required time and the top 4 combined times fell short of the necessary relay time. However, Matsumoto is already qualified in the 200m freestyle so he still might be able to swim this event in Paris. Updated probable Japanese Olympic Team (19 athletes) *relay-only swimmers are not confirmed Men (9): Yu Hanaguruma - 200m Breaststroke Tomoru Honda - 200m Butterfly Hidenari Mano - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Katsuhiro Matsumoto - 200m Freestyle, 4x200m Freestyle Relay Tomoyuki Matsushita - 400m IM Tatsuya Murasa - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Genki Terakado - 200m Butterfly Ippei Watanabe - 200m Breaststroke Konosuke Yanagimoto - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Women (10): Reona Aoki - 100m Breaststroke Mizuki Hirai - 100m Butterfly, 4x100m Medley Relay Rikako Ikee - 100m Butterfly, 4x100m Medley Relay Nagisa Ikemoto - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Waka Kobori - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Hiroko Makino - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Mio Narita - 400m IM Rio Shirai - 4x200m Freestyle Relay, 4x100m Medley Relay Satomi Suzuki - 100m Breaststroke, 4x100m Medley Relay Ageha Tanigawa - 400m IM
  16. Japan is also going to reject their men's 4x100m freestyle quota. That's a quota for Poland
  17. Just going to go off topic for a second. Japan is going to reject their women's 4x100m freestyle relay quota. Ireland will get the quota.
  18. 2024 Meeting FFN Camille Muffat - Nice (FRA) March 17th - March 20th 2024 Meet Results The following new OQTs were achieved Men's 400m Freestyle Ahmed Jaouadi Women's 200m Freestyle Mary-Sophie Harvey Women's 200m Backstroke Pauline Mahieu Women's 400m Individual Medley Mary-Sophie Harvey
  19. Japanese Olympic Trials: Day 4 Recap An expected quiet day with only two finals. Rio Shirai won the women's 100m backstroke in 1:00.27, well outside of both the AQUA and JASF qualifying times. However, she'll be in a good position to add a 2nd relay to her event lineup assuming Japan is able to qualify a women's medley relay. Nobody was even close to qualifying in the men's 800m freestyle. The qualifying time was faster than the national record .
  20. Japanese Olympic Trials: Day 3 Recap 5 more swimmers punched their ticket to Paris with a few others likely getting relay spots. Women's 400m IM: 1. Mio Narita - 4:35.40 Q 2. Ageha Tanigawa - 4:35.60 Q 3. Waka Kobori - 4:36.55 This was the one race that the JASF didn't set a harder time the than AQUA OQT. As a result 3 swimmers went under the mandated time with Narita and Tanigawa earning spots for Paris. Defending Olympic Champion, Yui Ohashi finished 4th (under the qualifying time) and won't defend her title. Men's 200m Freestyle: 1. Katsuhiro Matsumoto - 1:45.29 Q 2. Konosuke Yanagimoto - 1:46.84 3. Tatsuya Murasa - 1:47.57 4. Hidenari Mano - 1:47.86 The top 4 swimmers did enough to secure a relay spot for Japan and will most likely be nominated for the Olympic team. Matsumoto will swim the event individually after doing enough to meet the JASF QT. Hidenari Mano had been under the AQUA OQT during the qualification period but was only 4th today. Men's 100m Backstroke: 1. Riku Matsuyama - 53.72 For the first time in over 10 years, 34 year old Ryosuke Irie lost a domestic final in the 100m backstroke and is in jeopardy of not qualifying for Paris. Instead it was Matsuyama who produced a big PB to take first place and a potential medley relay spot. Women's 100m Breaststroke: 1. Satomi Suzuki - 1:05.91 Q 2. Reona Aoki - 1:05.93 Q At 33 years old, London 2012 bronze medalist Satomi Suzuki produced a new PB to win the race and qualify for Paris. Reoan Aoki also produced a good time to qualify. Women's 200m Freestyle: 1. Waka Kobori - 1:58.22 2. Rio Shirai - 1:58.27 3. Hiroko Makino - 1:58.42 4. Nagisa Ikemoto - 1:58.51 Like the in the men's event, the top 4 women did enough to secure Japan's spot in the 4x200m freestyle relay. They'll likely be nominated for selection. Updated probable Japanese Olympic Team (15 athletes) Men (5): Hidenari Mano - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Katsuhiro Matsumoto - 200m Freestyle, 4x200m Freestyle Relay Tomoyuki Matsushita - 400m IM Tatsuya Murasa - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Konosuke Yanagimoto - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Women (10): Reona Aoki - 100m Breaststroke Mizuki Hirai - 100m Butterfly Rikako Ikee - 100m Butterfly Nagisa Ikemoto - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Waka Kobori - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Hiroko Makino - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Mio Narita - 400m IM Rio Shirai - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Satomi Suzuki - 100m Breaststroke Ageha Tanigawa - 400m IM
  21. 54.26 PB today in the 100m freestyle for Mary-Sophie Harvey. Good news for the relays.
  22. Japanese Olympic Trials: Day 2 Recap 3 swimmers punched their ticket to Paris today. Men's 400m IM: 1. Tomoyuki Matsushita - 4:10.04 Q 2. Daiya Seto - 4:10.84 3. Kaito Tabuchi - 4:11.15 Big PB by Matsushita to become the first Japanese athlete to qualify for Paris. Other than that, a complete disaster for Japan. Tomoru Honda already shockingly failed to qualify for the final. Then Daiya Seto, arguably the biggest Japanese star, fails to qualify in his signature event despite getting under the OQT. Also getting under the OQT was Kaito Tabuchi. So a country that's known for their producing world class IMers will only nominate one athlete for this event. If this doesn't make the JASF change their selection criteria, I don't know what will. Women's 100m Butterfly: 1. Mizuki Hirai - 56.91 Q 2. Rikako Ikee - 57.30 Q 3. Shiho Matsumoto - 57.31 4. Ai Soma - 57.64 4 women under the OQT and 3 women under the JASF QT. Another big PB by the 17 year old Hirai and Ikee barely qualifies in 2nd. Great race all around. Men's 100m Breaststroke: 1. Taku Taniguchi - 59.43 2. Yu Hanaguruma - 59.47 2. Ippei Watanabe - 59.47 Once again, 3 men under the OQT but all failed to meet the JASF QT of 59.26 (see a pattern here?). Taniguchi should be nominated for the medley relay should the stroke 100 winners meet the required relay time but won't swim it individually. Current Japanese Olympic team Men: Tomoyuki Matsushita - 400m IM Women: Mizuki Hirai - 100m Butterfly Rikako Ikee - 100m Butterfly
