The women’s 100m butterfly final is looking to be very interesting. Penny Oleksiak set a new Canadian junior record as she finished first in the heats ahead of Noemie Thomas and Katerine Savard. The three swimmers will likely fight for two spots on the team.
In the other events so far it will be unlikely that Canada will have a swimmer in the men’s 400m IM (four seconds off in prelims) though longer distance swimmers usually don’t put up top times until the finals, Brittany MacLean is set to qualify in the women’s 400m free and Richard Funk has a chance at reaching the men’s 100m breast time, he was just 0.09 seconds off the qualification time, a second swimmer is also possible too.
