I must say that not watching Blue Jays games since the beginning of September has done wonders for my mental health

https://www.worldaquatics.com/competitions/2943/olympic-games-paris-2024/qualifications?gender=M&distance=50&stroke=FREESTYLE&standard=all&regionId=all&countryId= So I was going through the swimming qualification events when I noticed a few unusual entries. An African Diving qualifier from December 18-20 in Durban. An Oceanian Diving qualifier from November 30-December 1 in Brisbane. Not sure how accurate these are.

Swimming at the 19th Asian Games - Hangzhou (CHN) September 24th - September 29th 2023 Meet Results The following new OQTs were achieved Men's 50m Freestyle Ji Yuchan Pan Zhanle Men's 100m Freestyle Wang Haoyu Men's 200m Freestyle Hidenari Mano Wang Shun Men's 800m Freestyle Fei Liwei Nguyen Huy Hoang Men's 100m Backstroke Lee Juho Men's 200m Backstroke Lee Juho Xu Jiayu Men's 100m Breaststroke Choi Dongyeol Men's 100m Butterfly Wang Changhao Men's 200m Individual Medley Qin Haiyang Wang Shun Women's 100m Freestyle Yang Junxuan Women's 400m Freestyle Ma Yonghui Women's 1500m Freestyle Gao Weizhong Women's 200m Backstroke Lee Eunji Women's 200m Breaststroke Ye Shiwen Women's 200m Butterfly Yu Liyan Zhang Yufei Women's 200m Individual Medley Kim Seoyeong Women's 400m Individual Medley Yu Yiting

Yes, this was definitely the boldest of the one's I listed. But this year, he was 6th in the 50m freestyle (21.73) and 7th in the 100m freestyle (47.94) which was his breakout long course meet and he's still 21. With another year of long course training, he has a chance. Probably not a great chance but it's still possible.

a few others: Lana Pudar - Swimming (100m Butterfly, 200m Butterfly) Jordan Crooks - Swimming (50m Freestyle, 100m Freestyle) Thea Lafond - Athletics (Triple Jump) Julien Alfred - Athletics (100m, 200m)

Kenya, yes. Oceania doesn't have their own confederation so Australia won't be an issue. Right now, Canada is one spot outside from qualifying through rankings.

Prayers up for Nick Chubb

Duplantis World Record!!! He loves Oregon

World Record for Tsegay!

@Josh any new qualifiers lately?

2023 World Junior Rankings: Girls Edition Boys rankings can be found here While the boys rankings mostly were filled with swimmers that either competed in the World or European Juniors championships, the girls rankings had a lot more names that didn't. This is mostly since girls tend to peak earlier than boys and are ready to compete at the senior level when they are 18 or younger. The US for example doesn't send any swimmers to World Juniors that already competed at World Championships. Freestyle: Backstroke: Breaststroke: Butterfly: Medley:

I'm going to post the girls rankings soon! Yeah, World Aquatics ranking systems really sucks. They haven't updated it at all since the world championships (besides the World Junior times). I had to check additional meets like the European U23's and Commonwealth Youth Games + other US meets. Thanks for posting your rankings. I completely forgot about Nuotos' rankings. I've combined our two rankings in the post above with the new times that I could verify. However, I think there's a few suspicious things. I could not find the times above from the Irish Summer Championships. There is no way that Omar Khedr's 3:26.26 400m freestyle time is real. Also a lot of birthday's are listed as January 1st, 2005 . I've already verified that William Petric and another Japanese swimmer had 2004 birthday's. Still not sure which year's some Russian and Chinese swimmers were born in since there's so little information on them. I'll keep them on the rankings for now.

2023 World Junior Rankings: Boys Edition So now that World Juniors are over, I thought it would be interesting to compile a complete list of junior rankings for each event (swimmers born in 2005 or later) since we were missing a lot of names at the championships. The problem is there isn't one website that has a complete set of rankings because the World Aquatics site is as slow as a turtle when it comes to updating results and they don't have every meeting. I had to explore a few additional major senior and junior meets to come up with these rankings so please let me know if there's any result I'm missing. These are just the boys rankings. I'll do the girls rankings later. Freestyle: Backstroke: Breaststroke: Butterfly: Medley:

Eneli Jefimova - 2:26.29 If you had told me before the meet that our two gold medals would be in breaststroke, I wouldn't have believed you. Jefimova completes the full set of breaststroke medals.

Australia (Barclay, Mackinder, Boyd, Wunsch) - 4:00.86 2. Canada (Lloyd, Lepage, Jansen, Angove) - 4:01.96 3. Italy (Gorlier, Zucca, Borrelli, Curtis) - 4:03.34 And a casual 52.73 split for Wunsch on the freestyle leg. USA got DQ'd for an early exchange. Final Medal Standings

1:07.04

Gold for Indonesia!!!

Another gold for Lepage! 2:24.70 to win the 200m breaststroke. Will be interesting to see what she splits in the medley relay later.

Day 5 Results Finals: Women's 1500m Freestyle: 1. Kate Hurst - 16:09.37 (OCT) 2. Ruka Takezawa - 16:18.68 3. Mao Yihan - 16:18.76 If you're an American girl and your name is Kate/Katie/Katherine, you should consider being a long distance swimmer. It seems to be a good luck charm. Agostina Hein finishes back in 6th. Men's 50m Butterfly: 1. Casper Puggaard - 23.50 2. Lukas Edl - 23.89 3. Thomas Pattison - 23.95 Women's 50m Backstroke: 1. Iona Anderson - 28.01 2.

Canada (Brousseau, Jansen, West, Angove) - 3:40.40 Olivia Wunsch had a 52.61 split on her leg . Semifinals: Men's 100m Freestyle: Williamson, Sommerville, Sansone, Passafaro, Blackman, Nenadic, Senc-Samardzic, Ballarati In one of the biggest shocks of the meet, top seeded Flynn Southam fails to make the final in 10th place. Women's 100m Butterfly: Hirai, Shackley, Hartman, Pudar, Jansen, Kim, Raymond, Boyd Women's 50m Freestyle: Wunsch, Curtis, Olasewere, Larsen, Casey, Pedersen, Slusna, Lee Olivia Wunsch was absolutely on fire today with a time of 24.70. Sara Curtis also with a nice swim under 25 seconds. Men's 50m Breaststroke: Iberle, Gaur, Nguyen, Chen, Okadome, Burnes, Kozhakhmetov, Ruiz No that is not a typo, an Indonesian is the top seed going into the finals. Good chance of a medal for them. Medal Standings

Notably another National age group records from Wigginton in the 400 IM. 4:12.81. Now just 0.31 from the OQT. Also nice to see Jansen bounce back after a rough double yesterday.

Well, we're going to get the anticipated Canada vs USA game after all

Yeah, during the 2016-20 period, most of our young talent was in the 100/200m distances. Now during this period, it seems like most of our young talent is now in the 200/400m distances which is still great but doesn't bode as well for the sprint relays. But as we saw with Lepage, talent can emerge from out of nowhere very quickly so hopefully we can find some new sprint talent soon
