US Olympic Trials: Day 3
 
Finals:
 
Women's 400m Individual Medley (OQT: 4:38.53):
1. Katie Grimes - 4:35.00 Q
2. Emma Weyant - 4:35.56 Q?
3. Lilla Bognar - 4:37.86
4. Leah Smith - 4:39.87
5. Leah Hayes - 4:41.32
6. Lucy Bell - 4:41.40
7. Zoe Dixon - 4:42.01
8. Audrey Derivaux - 4:46.89
 
2nd Olympics for both women. 4:35.00 seems a bit slow for Grimes only further cementing McIntosh as the big favourite in this event.
 
Men's 200m Freestyle (OQT: 1:46.26)
1. Luke Hobson - 1:44.89 Q
2. Chris Guiliano - 1:45.38 Q
3. Drew Kibler - 1:45.60 q
4. Kieran Smith - 1:45.61 q
5. Brooks Curry - 1:45.89 q?
6. Blake Pieroni - 1:46.09 q?
7. Jake Mitchell - 1:46.48
8. Aaron Shackell - 1:47.37
 
Good swim by Hobson to go sub 1:45. Chris Guiliano continues his breakout and comes out of nowhere to get the 2nd individual spot. Kibler and Smith also will be part of the relay. Smith would probably be disappointed with that swim after having the fastest time in semis yesterday. Curry and Pieroni will have to wait until later in the week to find out if they've made the team.
 
Men's 100m Backstroke (OQT: 53.74)
1. Ryan Murphy - 52.22 Q
2. Hunter Armstrong - 52.72 Q?
3. Jack Aikins - 52.74
4. Adam Chaney - 53.44
5. Justin Ress - 53.57
6. Will Modglin - 53.69
7. Jack Wilkening - 53.79
8. Tommy Janton - 53.87
 
To no one's surprise, Murphy and Armstrong qualify. However, Jack Aikins almost managed to beat out Armstrong just missing by 0.02 seconds. He'll have a good shot to qualify in the 200 back though. These are the 3rd Olympics for Murphy and the 2nd for Armstrong.
 
Women's 100m Breaststroke (OQT: 1:06.79)
1. Lilly King - 1:05.43
2. Emma Weber - 1:06.10 
3. Lydia Jacoby - 1:06.37
4. Kaitlyn Dobler - 1:06.77
5. Kaelyn Gridley - 1:07.03
6. Alex Walsh - 1:07.38
7. McKenzie Siroky - 1:07.71
8. Ella Nelson - 1:07.83
 
In one of the biggest surprises of the meet so far, Lydia Jacoby will not be defending her gold medal from Tokyo. In an even bigger surprise, it's Emma Weber (and not Kaitln Dobler like some predicted) who out touched her for 2nd. Lilly King continued her dominance swimming in her home state of Indiana.
 
Women's 200m Freestyle (OQT: 1:57.26)
1. Katie Ledecky - 1:55.22 Q
2. Claire Weinstein - 1:56.18 Q
3. Paige Madden - 1:56.36 q
4. Erin Gemmell - 1:56.75 q
5. Anna Peplowski - 1:57.04 q?
6. Alex Shackell - 1:57.05 q?
7. Simone Manuel - 1:57.13
8. Katie Grimes - 1:57.33
 
3rd straight year that Ledecky and Weinstein go 1 and 2 at US trials. It remains to be seen whether or not she'll swim this individually which would mean that Paige Madden would get a 2nd individual swim if she doesn't. Erin Gemmell also qualifies for the relay. This has significance because her father used to coach Katie Ledecky. Peplowski and Shackell will have to wait.
 
Semi-finals:
 
Advancing to Women's 100m Backstroke Final:
1. Regan Smith - 57.47 (American Record) 
2. Katharine Berkoff - 57.83 
3. Josephine Fuller - 58.79
3. Kennedy Noble - 58.79
5. Rhyan White - 59.08
5. Claire Curzan - 59.08
7. Leah Shackley - 59.25
8. Phoebe Bacon - 59.33
 
Regan Smith is clearly in the form of her life right now. Berkoff also becomes the 5th woman in history to go under 58 seconds. Those two will be the favourites heading into tomorrow's final. However, the rest of the times are also insane for a domestic field. 59.33 is arguably faster than what it'll take to final at the Olympics.

US Olympic Trials: Day 2
 
Finals:
 
Men's 400m Individual Medley (OQT: 4:12.50):
1. Carson Foster - 4:07.64 Q
2. Chase Kalisz - 4:09.39 Q?
3. Jay Litherland - 4:12.34
4. Ian Grum - 4:15.06
5. Tommy Bried - 4:15.15
6. Kyle Ponsler - 4:16.53
7. Gregg Enoch - 4:17.64
8. Danny Berlitz - 4:17.65
 
Carson Foster gets redemption from his 3rd place finish 3 years ago. Really happy for the guy. He was clearly really emotional about it after the race. Chase Kalisz will also likely be headed to his 3rd Olympics.
 
Women's 100m Butterfly (OQT: 57.62)
1. Gretchen Walsh - 55.31 Q
2. Torri Huske - 55.52 Q?
3. Regan Smith - 55.62
4. Claire Curzan - 57.47
5. Kelly Pash - 57.72
6. Beata Nelson - 57.80
7. Lillie Nordmann - 57.92
8. Emma Sticklen - 58.44
 
Insanely fast times. With this race, we had Gretchen Walsh swimming the 2nd fastest performance of all time and Torri Huske and Regan Smith becoming the 3rd and 4th fastest performers of all time. Walsh and Huske will enter Paris as the favorites for gold and silver.
 
Men's 100m Breaststroke (OQT: 59.49)
1. Nic Fink - 59.08 Q
2. Charlie Swanson - 59.16 Q?
3. Josh Matheny - 59.23
4. Liam Bell - 59.40
5. Noah Nichols - 59.69
6. Jake Foster - 59.84
7. Luke Rodarte - 59.85
8. Michael Andrew - 1:00.11
 
There were some doubts about him qualifying yesterday but Nic Fink delivered his best race of trials tonight to qualify in 1st for his 2nd Olympic Team. Charlie Swanson also continued his good form to likely qualify for his first Olympic Team.
 
Semi-finals:
 
Advancing to Men's 200m Freestyle Final:
1. Kieran Smith - 1:45.39
2. Luke Hobson - 1:45.58
3. Drew Kibler - 1:45.82
4. Jake Mitchell - 1:46.43
5. Blake Pieroni - 1:46.52
6. Brooks Curry - 1:46.60
7. Chris Guiliano - 1:46.83
8. Aaron Shackell - 1:46.95 (Won swimoff)
 
Advancing to Women's 100m Breaststroke Final:
1. Lilly King - 1:05.57
2. Kaitlyn Dobler - 1:06.42
3. Emma Weber - 1:06.48
4. Lydia Jacoby - 1:06.66
5. Kaelyn Gridley - 1:06.67
6. Alex Walsh - 1:06.87
7. Ella Nelson - 1:07.41
8. McKenzie Siroky - 1:07.73
 
Should be an easy qualification for King. Lots of people thought Jacoby would be a lock for the 2nd spot but it looks like that won't quite be the case here. McKenzie Siroky qualifying for the final is pretty impressive since she's an ice hockey player and only started to swim full time recently. Also the 46 year old Gabrielle Rose placed 10th in a new PB of 1:08.32
 
Advancing to Men's 100m Backstroke Final:
1. Ryan Murphy - 52.65
2. Adam Chaney - 53.08
3. Jack Aikins - 53.23
4. Hunter Armstrong - 53.57
5. Tommy Janton - 53.61
6. Jack Wilkening - 53.70
7. Justin Ress - 53.78
8. Will Modglin - 53.83
 
A heart stopping moment happened in the 2nd semifinal where Hunter Armstrong slipped off the starting blocks and was way behind. However, he managed to still finish 2nd and qualify. Assuming there aren't any issues in the final, he and Murphy should have no trouble qualifying.
 
Advancing to Women's 200m Freestyle Final:
1. Katie Ledecky - 1:55.25
2. Claire Weinstein - 1:55.86
3. Paige Madden - 1:56.36
4. Erin Gemmell - 1:56.53
5. Katie Grimes - 1:57.19
6. Alex Shackell - 1:57.42
7. Anna Peplowski - 1:57.55
8. Simone Manuel - 1:57.63
 
You will notice relay regular Bella Sims not listed. That's because she finished 17th in prelims and failed to qualify for the semifinals. This was after a disastrous 400m freestyle performance yesterday. Unfortunately, it looks like her chances of making the Olympic Team are basically over.
 
Qualifiers after Day 2 (10 athletes):

US Olympic Trials: Day 1
 
Finals:
 
Men's 400m Freestyle:
1. Aaron Shackell - 3:45.46 Q
2. Kieran Smith - 3:45.76 Q?
3. David Johnston - 3:46.19
4. Bobby Finke - 3:46.27
5. Luke Whitlock - 3:46.55
6. Jake Magahey - 3:46.89
7. Daniel Matheson - 3:48.63
8. Jake Mitchell - 3:50.76
 
3 years ago, only one person in the final hit the A standard and there was a time trial to who else would get the 2nd spot. That wasn't an issue this year as the top 5 went under that time. Aaron Shackell is officially the first qualifier on the US team. As a reminder, the 2nd place finisher isn't yet guaranteed a spot on the Olympic team due to the athlete limit so Kieran Smith will have to wait.
 
Women's 400m Freestyle:
1. Katie Ledecky - 3:58.35 Q
2. Paige Madden - 4:02.08 Q?
3. Jillian Cox - 4:06.89
4. Kayla Han - 4:08.21
5. Aurora Roghair - 4:08.66
6. Anna Peplowski - 4:09.20
7. Leah Smith - 4:09.34
8. Madi Mintenko
 
Easy win for Ledecky and good time for her. Moves her ahead of McIntosh's time at Canadian Trials and only trails Titmus. Paige Madden has been in great form all year and was my pick to take the 2nd spot here and I'm glad she got that spot. Another thing worth mentioning is that Bella Sims and Claire Weinstein both bombed out in prelims and failing to make the final.
 
Semi-finals:
 
Advancing to Women's 100m Butterfly Final:
1. Gretchen Walsh - 55.18 (WR) 
2. Torri Huske - 55.79
3. Regan Smith - 55.92
4. Alex Shackell - 56.78
5. Claire Curzan - 57.24
6. Emma Sticklen - 57.77
7. Beata Nelson - 57.80
8. Kelly Pash
 
Should be an easy qualification for Walsh and Huske.
 
Advancing to Men's 100m Breaststroke Final:
1. Charlie Swanson - 59.34
2. Josh Matheny - 59.42
3. Nic Fink - 59.46
4. Liam Bell - 59.57
5. Jake Foster - 59.63
6. Michael Andrew - 59.65
7. Noah Nichols - 59.76
8. Luke Rodarte - 59.78
 
Don't think anyone expected Charlie Swanson to contend for a spot in this event. Will be interesting to see if he can keep it up in the final tomorrow. Nic Fink has his hands full.

Australian Olympic Trials: Day 5
 
Men's 200m Breaststroke (SAQT: 2:09.50, OQT: 2:09.68)
1. Zac Stubblety-Cook - 2:07.40 Q
2. Joshua Yong - 2:08.08 Q
3. Bailey Lello - 2:10.85
 
Women's 200m Breaststroke (SAQT: 2:23.91, OQT: 2:23.91)
1. Ella Ramsay - 2:22.87 Q
2. Jenna Strauch - 2:24.04
3. Matilda Smith - 2:25.84
 
Strauch misses the qualifying time here but she has the time already in the qualifying period so there's a good chance she'll still swim this event in Paris.
 
Men's 200m Backstroke (SAQT: 1:57.28, OQT: 1:57.50)
1. Bradley Woodward - 1:56.22 Q
2. Se-Bom Lee - 1:57.02 Q
3. Joshua Edwards-Smith - 1:57.10
 
Women's 100m Freestyle (SAQT: 53.61, OQT: 53.61)
1. Mollie O'Callaghan - 52.33 Q
2. Shayna Jack - 52.72 Q
3. Meg Harris - 52.97 q
4. Bronte Campbell - 53.10 q
5. Olivia Wunsch - 53.17 q
6. Emma McKeon - 53.33 q
7. Brianna Throssell - 53.61
8. Milla Jansen - 54.05
 
Fun race to watch but the times were a bit slower than I expected. Top 6 should all be selected. As mentioned already, Emma McKeon won't defend her Olympic title and may not even be part of the relay final.
 
Men's 1500m Freestyle (SAQT: 14:54.29, OQT: 15:00.99)
1. Matthew Galea - 14:58.96
2. Kyle Lee - 15:08.72
3. Benjamin Goedemans - 15:09.38
 
Sam Short scratched this event likely due to health reasons but he'll still get to swim this event since no one made the qualifying time here. Despite missing the Swimming Australia qualifying time, Matthew Galea still went under the OQT so he could be a discretionary pick.
 
Qualifiers after Day 5 (33 Athletes):
*Athletes in italics don't have a qualifying time yet
 
Men (17):
Ben Armbruster - 50m Freestyle Jack Cartwright - 4x100m Freestyle Relay Kyle Chalmers - 100m Freestyle, 4x100m Freestyle Relay Isaac Cooper - 4x100m Medley Relay Maximillian Giuliani - 200m Freestyle, 4x200m Freestyle Relay Se-Bom Lee - 200m Backstroke Cam McEvoy - 50m Freestyle Tommy Neill - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Sam Short - 400m Freestyle, 800m Freestyle Flynn Southam - 4x100m Freestyle Relay Zac Stubblety-Cook - 200m Breaststroke Kai Taylor - 4x200m Freestyle Relay (4x100m Freestyle Relay) Sam Williamson - 100m Breaststroke, 4x100m Medley Relay Elijah Winnington - 400m Freestyle, 4x200m Freestyle Relay, 800m Freestyle Bradley Woodward - 200m Backstroke William Yang - 4x100m Freestyle Relay (100m Freestyle) Joshua Yong - 100m Breaststroke, 200m Breaststroke

Australian Olympic Trials: Day 4
 
Women's 200m Backstroke (SAQT: 2:09.74, OQT: 2:10.39):
1. Kaylee McKeown - 2:03.30 Q
2. Jaclyn Barclay - 2:07.88 Q 
3. Hannah Fredericks - 2:08.25
 
Notably, 32 year old Emily Seebohm finished 5th in 2:10.80.
 
Men's 200m Individual Medley (SAQT: 1:57.23, OQT: 1:57.94)
1. William Petric - 1:57.54
2. Brendon Smith - 1:58.12
3. Se-Bom Lee - 2:00.11
 
Despite missing the Swimming Australia qualifying time, Petric's time still dips under the AQUA OQT and there's a good chance he'll still be selected for the Olympic Team. Given his PB setting form here, it seems likely he'll qualify in the 400m IM anyways. Thomas Neill scratched out of this event but he has the OQT already and since he's already on the team, he could also swim this event.
 
Men's 100m Freestyle (SAQT: 48.06, OQT: 48.34)
1. Kyle Chalmers - 47.75 Q 
2. William Yang - 48.08 q
3. Flynn Southam - 48.11 q
4. Jack Cartwright - 48.40 q
5. Kai Taylor - 48.57
6. Zac Incerti - 48.73
7. Jamie Jack - 49.01
8. Maximillian Giuliani - 49.17
 
Very interesting to see Chalmers fade in the last 25 metres of the race. William Yang should still get to swim the individual 100 free as his time dips under the World Aquatics standard.
 
Women's 200m Butterfly (SAQT: 2:07.72, OQT: 2:08.43)
1. Elizabeth Dekkers - 2:06.01 Q
2. Abbey Connor - 2:06.82 Q
3. Bella Grant - 2:08.86
 
Notably, Brianna Throssell scratched this event.
 
Women's 800m Freestyle (SAQT: 8:22.20, OQT: 8:26.71)
1. Ariarne Titmus - 8:14.06 Q
2. Lani Pallister - 8:18.46 Q
3. Jamie Perkins - 8:30.18

Holger Rune is good on clay courts, he has at least a small chance to win a medal in Paris!

Denmark 
 
In Tokyo, Denmark won 11 medals. My prediction would be that we would end up between 9-12 medals in Paris. Best guess would be 10 medals overall.
 
We won 3 gold medals in Tokyo. For Paris I would say 1-2 gold medals are realistic.
 
Medal chances:
Badminton 1-3 medals (Axelsen one of our gold medal chances. Antonsen in men's singles and Astrup/Rasmussen also have a realistic chance to get medals)
 
Canoeing  1-2 medals (Jorgensen/Matthiesen in women's K-2 probably our biggest chance. Maybe one of the gold medal chances for us. Jorgensen should also medal in Women's K-1.)
 
Road Cycling 0-1 medals (Not a realistic chance, but Mads Pedersen could medal. But this is toss with so many riders)'
 
Track Cycling 1-3 medals (Men's team pursuit should medal. Might win gold. Men's and women's madison also have chances to grab medals.)
 
Equestrian 1-2 medals (Should medal in team dressage. Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour also have a chance to win a medal individually.)
 
Handball 1-2 medals (Men should win a medal and one of our biggest gold medal hopes. Women could grab a bronze medal.)
 
Rowing 0-1 medals (Small chances in a few events though it could easily end with zero medal for us in rowing.)
 
Sailing 1 medal (Anne-Marie Rindom as defending world champion in ICLA 6 from this year and defending Olympic champion, should be a safe medallist. A top contender for the gold medal.)
 
Shooting 1-2 medals (Jesper Hansen in men's skeet and Rikke Ibsen in women's 50m rifle 3 positions. Not guaranteed medals at all.)
 
Pessimistic: 7
Realistic: 10
Exceeding expectations: 13 medals

Random fun fact about me, that I thought I’d share after watching the women’s long jump final, as it brought back some memories 
 
Back in grade 7 (so 12 years old), I did long jump, and I wasn’t half bad at it! At our school athletics “championships” (not sure what to call it) day, I won my grade title with a best mark of 2.51m! (keep in mind my age…)

Australian Olympic Trials: Day 3
 
Women's 200m Freestyle (SAQT: 1:56.49, OQT: 1:57.26):
1. Ariarne Titmus - 1:52.23 Q WR 
2. Mollie O'Callaghan - 1:52.48 Q 
3. Lani Pallister - 1:55.57 Q
4. Brianna Throssell - 1:55.74 Q
=5. Shayna Jack - 1:56.22 Q
=5. Jamie Perkins - 1:56.22 Q
7. Brittany Castelluzzo - 1:56.77 q
8. Meg Harris - 1:56.93 q
 
Top two both under Mollie's old world record set in Fukuoka last year. Top 8 all under OQT. They will definitely take top six.
 
Men's 800m Freestyle (SAQT: 7:45.80, OQT: 7:51.65)
1. Elijah Winnington - 7:44.90 Q
2. Sam Short - 7:46.52 q
3. Matthew Galea - 7:53.99
 
Short will still get to race this despite missing the SAQT because he's already on the team.
 
Men's 50m Freestyle (SAQT: 21.88, OQT: 21.96)
1. Cam McEvoy - 21.35 Q
2. Ben Armbruster - 21.84 Q
3. Isaac Cooper - 21.97
 
Men's 200m Butterfly (SAQT: 1:54.97, OQT: 1:55.78)
1. Bowen Gough - 1:56.18
2. Harrison Turner - 1:57.07
3. Ruan Van Der Riet - 1:59.21
 
Very tough SAQT but no one was even able to get under the OQT in what is probably the weakest event for Australia.
 
Qualifiers after Day 2 (20 Athletes):
*Athletes in italics don't have a qualifying time yet
 
Men (10):
Isaac Cooper - 4x100m Medley Relay Maximillian Giuliani - 200m Freestyle, 4x200m Freestyle Relay Tommy Neill - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Sam Short - 400m Freestyle, 800m Freestyle Kai Taylor - 4x200m Freestyle Relay Sam Williamson - 100m Breaststroke, 4x100m Medley Relay Elijah Winnington - 400m Freestyle, 4x200m Freestyle Relay, 800m Freestyle Joshua Yong - 100m Breaststroke Cam McEvoy - 50m Freestyle Ben Armbruster - 50m Freestyle

Other nomination candidates:
Alex Graham - M 4x200m Freestyle Relay Zac Incerti - M 4x200m Freestyle Relay Alexandria Perkins - W 100m Butterfly  
 

Australian Olympic Trials: Day 2
 
Women's 100m Backstroke (SAQT: 59.62, OQT: 59.99):
1. Kaylee McKeown - 57.41 Q
2. Mollie O'Callaghan - 57.88 Q 
3. Iona Anderson - 58.43
 
In the event that Mollie O'Callaghan does end up dropping this event, then Iona Anderson should be selected.
 
Women's 100m Breaststroke (SAQT: 1:06.31, OQT: 1:07.01)
1. Jenna Strauch - 1:06.90 q
2. Ella Ramsay - 1:06.94
3. Sienna Toohey - 1:07.01 
 
Toohey is just 15 years old by the way. The selection criteria doesn't explicitly say that the stroke 100 winners get nominated but I'm going to assume that Strauch will be selected anyways despite missing the qualifying time. Overall, disappointing times here.
 
Men's 100m Backstroke (SAQT: 53.21, OQT: 53.74)
1. Isaac Cooper - 53.46 q
2. Bradley Woodward - 53.53
3. Enoch Robb - 54.14
 
Just like with the women's 100m breaststroke, I'm going to assume that Cooper will be selected for the medley relay.
 
Men's 200m Freestyle (SAQT: 1:45.97, OQT: 1:46.26)
1. Maxmillian Giuliani - 1:45.83 Q
2. Tommy Neill - 1:46.02 q
3. Elijah Winnington - 1:46.08 q
4. Kai Taylor - 1:46.26 q
5. Zac Incerti - 1:46.83
6. Alex Graham - 1:47.11
7. Flynn Southam - 1:47.29
8. Brendon Smith - 1:47.53
 
Pretty disappointing times overal. Giuliani is the only one to get under the qualifying time. I'm going to assume that the top 4 will all be selected with Incerti and Graham also having a good chance of being selected for the relay.
