Lead is too much to make up, and Spain aren’t even trying. It’s over. Edit: Now a 7 point lead, but I just don’t see Spain coming back from down 19.

I think she swam at one of the TYR Pro Swim Series events this year, failing to make it out of the prelims in all of her events. @Topicmaster1010 just for clarification, am I correct?

I’d rather they shit the bed at the Olympics though.

May not even need McIntosh for the medley relay, and Oleksiak for any relay minus the 4x200m freestyle. Of course it would still be great to have Oleksiak back in form, but probably not going to happe Ruck would be the freestyle leg on the 4x100m medley relay (hopefully McIntosh rests for her other events), while probably also being on the 4x100m/4x200m freestyle relays as well. With Smith/Savard, MacNeil, and probably McIntosh (along with Ruck), bronze/maybe silver is doable in the 4x100m freestyle.

Honestly, I’ll probably be rooting against them at Paris. This is embarrassing, it isn’t even looking like they’re trying.

53.26 split for Ruck, and Canada wins bronze in the women’s 4x100m freestyle relay!

Well fuck this shit.

First gold for at a World Aquatic Championships! 3:59.44 for Erika Fairweather!

Can’t wait to see what he can do in the 200IM now!

Hungary has been playing really well so far though, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Spain wouldn’t risk getting caught making a deal with Hungary, just to not have Canada at the Olympics. FIBA could have them investigated, and it might lead to some consequences.

Yeah, but like I said above, they’re athletes, they want to win.

@Adriano Starting to feel your pain. Nothing has been going right for Canada throughout the Olympic qualification period.

Well cue to me frantically refreshing flashscore for live updates in a couple of hours

Our bad Olympic qualification period just keeps getting worse…

No team would purposefully try to lose a match. But yeah, if Spain wins we’re through, otherwise Hungary is.

Have you ever played competitive sports? They’re athletes, they want to win. Probably the stupidest logic ever. Only rare exceptions can be made to it, such as the badminton scandal at London 2012.

and qualify for Paris.

4 pt game… and that’s it. Congrats Japan.

This game is giving me a heart attack.

70-67 lead after three periods.

lead 70-65 now…

Bridget Carleton with the three to tie the game! 63-63 with 3:11 left in the third period.
