Nice to hear Marianne Limpert on the commentary. One of the few Olympian I've meet in person (also once randomly meet a Artistic Swimming Olympian when I worked as a lifeguard)

Has there ever been a Canadian trials with this many world leading times?

Good on Taylor Ruck getting an individual swim!

Can anyone think of any team that has ever found a more painful to fail to qualify than this team?

They certainly deserve it

I think the team is doing just fine tbh

What a lucky win by Spain xD

Buddy Canada (or the US, dual citizen so gonna cover all my based) isn’t eligible for tripartite invites either. You are aware of how that works right?

Not sure what that has to do with shooting? Anyway Algeria isn't even close to being eligible for tripartite spots.

Her name is Fay :P

The is up 1.38 point so far for the week-end (after two matched), compared to Canada being up 21.26 points (after three matches). Currently has 289.31 points and has 286.92 points. Winning against lower ranked teams or losing agaisnt higher ranked team doesn't affect the ranking much, but beating two higher ranked teams (like Canada just did) is huge. If beats and beats then I think Canada will overtake the Netherlands for now.

Canada will have at most ten relay-only athletes accross categories 2 and 3, which means their qualifications are now all guaranteed. The Canadian coaching staff will probably be able to name up to three relay alternates if they wish to (since Knox is almost certain go qualify individually). If I were the coaches I would want to bring Édouard Fullum-Huot (men's 4x100m free) with Rebecca Smith (women's 4x100m free) on the bubble for consideration, but I'm not really seeing a good case for anybody else, especially since 5th and 6th in the women's 200m free are already on the team.

@JoshMartini007 really small nitpick: the winners of the 100m freestyle aren't included under priority 3 (since they are automatically counted under priority 2)

Huge win? How about beating 3-1?

Blake Tierney with a huge PB and NR to also qualify in the 200m back!

This has to be the first Olympic swimmer since Marianne Limpert?

Brooklyn Douthwright :D

The standards aren't picked by someone, it's either the standard from the previous Olympics or the 14th ranked time in the heats at the previous Olympics, whichever is faster.

This obviously only happened because established normalized relationships with and called for to be kicked out of the Olympics

? I'm not aware of any changes?

Definitively the best night of trials so far :D

Casually demolishing the world record

Only day three (with the 4x100m to go) and Canada is only one male swimmer from matching the team size from Tokyo.

Two really good news stories from this race: Masse is back to being a medal contender, and Ruck seems to be back in form (which is a good sign for the 100m free)

As the commentators mentioned, Jeremy Bagshaw is definitively a big sentimental favourite here after narrowly missing the last two Olympics. Good for him.
