    Looks like "Belorussian" Kylie Dickson qualified for Rio. Kind of baffling that Belarus wouldn't have preferred to send one of their own gymnast.

    Arguably men's Curling would be as bad if top Canadian teams started going abroad (nearly happened too - Jason Gunnlaugson, Justin Richter and Tyler Forrest had originally planed on competing for Russia at the Sochi games and I'm interested in knowing where Qatar got it's curling team). The Canadian Olympic trials are by some margin the most competitive event in that sport.

    This is by far the best women's team I've ever seen Canada put together. I have really high hopes for this summer and 2020. The 50 free the same day is probably going to be their focus. Beside, Canada isn't going to make a splash on the medley relay. The focus on the men's side relay wise has to be the 4x100 free.

    Not a bad day for the Canadian team, only one quota left on the table. Our relay team is extremely young, with everyone between the ages of 18 and 22. Lacroix is the oldest team member at 32. With the exception of Lacroix, Cochran and Weinberger every swimmer Canada has qualified is under the age of 25.

    Veteran Audrey Lacroix booked her ticket for her third Olympics with a win in the women's 200m butterfly. Sydney Pickrem won the women's 200m IM and will be joined in Rio by first time qualifier Erika Seltenreich-Hodgson. Finally, Canada's 4x100m free relay will consist of Santo Condorelli, Yuri Kisil, Markus Thormeyer and Evan Van Moerkerke, with Condorelli and Kisil swimming the event individually.

    Big surprised to see Ashton Baumann make the team. He wasn't on form over the last two years. If his sister also makes the team CBC is going to have a field day being all nostalgic over Alex Baumann.

    The Netherlands being second makes absolutely no sense. Bleh. Not happy about finishing second only to have to playoff against Spain...

    Canadian trials, day 1 Women's 400m free: Brittany MacLean Women's 100m butterfly: Penelope Oleksiak and Noemie Thomas No athlete qualified: men's 400m IM, men's 200m free, men's 100m breaststroke

    Ya, it's pretty impressive. They both have a very good shot at making the finals in Rio (and maybe contend for a medal) with that kind of time. Edit: Nobody qualified in the men's 200m free. Bleh.

    Not great results so far at the Swimming Olympics trials. Nobody qualified in the men's 400m IM or the men's 100m breaststroke (winner was 0.02s off). Brittany MacLean did win the 400m with a new Canadian standard and, three races is, in the only Canadian to qualify. Taylor Ruck, 15, was less than a second off the qualification time. Edit 1: In an upset Penelope Oleksiak wins the women's 100m butterfly with a new Canadian record. Noemie Thomas beats out Katerine Savard, beating the old Canadian record, to also qualify for the Olympics.

    I mean, it's already been announced that Italy wouldn't qualify. The host of the men's last chance qualifier never qualifies in Water Polo. Some sort of unwritten rule

    This tournament is really weird.

    Unfortunately Noh Jin-kyu, a former short track world champion for Korea, has passed away from cancer at the age of 23.

    Only if they qualify two individual athletes through the world ranking. Very unlikely.

    Another heartbreak for Chile as Katherine Low lose the final women's spot to Mexico's Yadira Silva 4-2 in a closely fought match.

    Anna Frolina and Alexander Starodubets, two Russian born biathletes, have become naturalized South Korean citizens in hopes of competing in Pyeongchang.
