As expected, Marchand won't swim the 200 Breast as the semis come right before the 200 IM final. More surprisingly, Anna Hopkins scratches the 100 Free. Had a great chance at making the final so this is kind of puzzling

I wonder if having trials in late March/early April had a factor. A lot of the Brits have also been off (besides Richards and Dean) and they also had their trials in March. Australia has seen significant improvement since moving their trials from April to June. Safe to say I'm glad Olympic trials are happening in May next year and then in June the years after that

Gold for China! Another night of no gold medals for the US

and ... out. Also had the #1 time in the world this year before the world championships

What a swim by Gonzalez!

I really want to see Pudar get a medal tomorrow

You gotta like what this means for next year though!

1:52.43 for Marchand!

Richards on fire! Liendo out

Better than 4th place at least

Bronze and WJR for Summer!

What the heck Mollie!!! Good luck beating that 4x200m relay

Was definitely expecting Finke to pass everyone near the end, shocked both of them hung on

Hafnaoui!!!

Tonight's 800m free final is probably the most excited I've ever been about a distance event! Men's distance racing in particular is incredibly exciting right now!

Mixed relay lineup: Masse -> Dergousoff -> MacNeil -> Gaziev Lot's of Canadians competing tonight, fingers crossed for a good night!

Mixed Medley Relay Lineups: Japan (MMFF): Irie -> Watanabe -> Soma -> Ikee Great Britain (FMMF): Harris -> Wilby -> Peters -> Hopkin Netherlands (FMMF): de Waard -> Kamminga -> Korstanje -> Steenbergen United States (MMFF): Murphy -> Fink -> Huske -> Douglass Australia (FMMF): McKeown -> Stubblety-Cook -> Temple -> Jack China (MMFF): Xu -> Qin -> Zhang -> Cheng Canada (FMFM): Masse -> Dergousoff -> MacNeil -> Gaziev Germany (MMFF): Braunschweig -> Matzerath -> Kohler -> Schulze In terms of Olympic quotas, the US and China are well ahead of the other teams. They both don't have any weaknesses. The other quota should go to Australia with maybe the Netherlands or GB capable of pulling off an upset.

18 swimmers achieved the OQT in the men's 800m freestyle heats yesterday. I think that's been the most inside heats so far

So interesting seeing so many smaller countries in the mixed relay
