There is no stream for preliminaries and the Olympic channel confirms that too

Well, we’ll have a better idea of their current form over the next two days as they’re in the semi together, and hopefully in the final together too

John Shortt joins the list with OCT time but not OQT. 1:57.90 is 0.4 off the OQT.

Results for first sessions are out. To be fair, I wasn’t expecting them this quickly (even if lack of live scoring and streaming shouldn’t be acceptable)

The final days will be on YouTube too. There is no streaming until then

It’s really poor. Livestream scheduled to start next Friday on YouTube

It was the women’s 200m fly in Tokyo where 16 entered the heats, so all 16 qualified for the semi finals They had 17 entered, and one DNS Oh and one of the 16/17 was a universality place for Honduras. 13 had the standard prior to the games

The timeline is odd too. They have to accept the relay by start of June, but the qualifying period ends about 3 weeks later (when the OCT invites go out). Both Ferguson (back) and McCusker (fly) have the OCT so might get an invite and swim Ireland has said that, unlike in previous games, they would accept these invites so yes, we could accept the relay quota with Wiffen and Fannon and hope to fill the team with Ferguson and McCusker and 2 relay only. I’m sure Fannon could stretch to the 100m if needed One more (maybe Ryan in the 100m free or John Short in the 200m back) and I’d be certain!

Second OQT achieved at the Olympic trials with Tom Fannon going under the time for 50m freestyle. He had already swam the time but not at one of the designated events by Swim Ireland. Team Ireland now up to 5 individuals Daniel Wiffen (400,800,1500 free) Mona McSharry (100m breast) Ellen Walshe (200 IM) Danielle Hill (100 back) Tom Fannon (50 free) Others have the OCT time so we’ll see what happens with them

No. A relay gets you 2 “relay only” quotas but you can make up your team with any 2 qualified individuals. We’d have used McSharry and Walshe (fly) Jon Rudd didn’t know this rule last time which meant Brendan Hyland (normally a fly specialist) and Shane Ryan (sprinter) had to swim in the 4x200m free relay.

Indeed. She was likely going anyway because of the mixed relay squad, but this is big for her. Hopefully we can get a couple of the boys involved too

At the Irish Olympic trials (the only designated event for Irish swimmers to get the standards outside of the World Championships), Danielle Hill has just swam under the OQT in 100m backstroke semis. Already looking forward to the @Topicmaster1010 round up http://live-timings.swimireland.ie/

http://live-timings.swimireland.ie/ Timing there. Conor Ferguson didn't get the 100m back time himself. Was quicker in heats but he has a final tomorrow still to come

Some countries measure by quotas, but Italy and others measure by medal chances. It is all still to be decided, but for a country like Italy medals are the only focus (or they should be anyway!)

Asian Games medalist https://www.ijf.org/judoka/67002 was called Israil Sagaipov when he was Russian (up to 2022) https://www.judoinside.com/judoka/44577/Caramnob_Sagaipov/judo-career

Relay team for womens is 5 travelling, but you must include all those qualified at that event. So its Adeleke, Mawsley + 3 There's no requirement to include qualified individual athletes for the mixed so that could be another 2 men + 2 women. So I make our athletics team 9 individuals and 7 relay athletes at the moment. Swimming might not be known for a while. Ferguson (100m back) and Ryan (100m free) may get in with ranks + OCT and we'd get that relay team in

Just to show not everyone is in crisis, this is a record team for Ireland. In 2012 we had one rower qualified, in 2024 we have 7 boats and 16 rowers

I genuinely wouldn’t have a clue about archery. I was thinking of theoretical only

Biggest winners this week: Biggest losers

That’s why I said rowers 😀

Add four to the rowers. Awful way for it to end for Sanita Our rowing team is 7 boats and 16 rowers

Top ten qualified nations by boat now that it's finished 12 10 9 8 7 6 By rowers 43 40 35 32 22 20 17 16

Boat quotas won at the final regatta 4 3 2 1 * * Slovenia may have 2 if they're allowed keep the host reallocation in mens and women's. If they can't is added too

Men's eight quotas miss out by 0.01s !!

Women's singles quotas ( )
