First new OQT's of the championships for Victor Johansson and David Aubry in the men's 400m freestyle!

No, CBC isn't showing the heats. If you have a VPN, I'm watching it here. Just VPN to Sweden.

Good swims from both Pickrem and McMillan who both easily qualify to the 200 IM semis in 2nd and 7th. On another note, I VPN'd to SVT (Swedish network) and I have no idea what's going on

Tamara Potocka in the semifinals @hckošice!

2024 Y Speedos Swim Club Karl Dalhouse Memorial Meet - Kingston (JAM) February 2nd - February 4th 2024 Meet Results No new OQTs were achieved

I wouldn't mind if they rearranged the swimming schedule to a 14 day meet so that Summer can swim all the events /s

World Aquatics updated the entry lists with some swimmers dropping events (e.g Kate Douglass dropped two of her events, no more USA in womens 4x100m free relay). Everyone who submitted their predictions already should probably double check their predictions again.

Now I'm curious to see what she does in the 100 free later in the meet. Given her trajectory, a 53-high wouldn't be surprising.

I'm still picking my jaw off the floor. I have no words. She's absolutely amazing. Now top 5 all time in 6 different events at 17 years old! Personally I think she'll stick with the 200 IM but you never know

Complete disaster for Canada in the women's 3m events. That means that one of the individual 2022 silver medallist or the individual 2023 bronze medallist will miss the games.

Yikes, 25th and 29th in prelims!? Yesterday must have taken a big toll mentally

While I understand her decision, it's still disappointing from a fan perspective. On another note, with no Sjoestroem and with how hard the 100 free OQT is, we might have less than 20 qualifiers in the event

Well on a more positive note, at least Vallee is looking good to get herself an individual quota

I am glad to see that my initial quota analysis was correct! Somehow every media outlet got it wrong and I believed them

World Cup News: Canada's matches have been announced for June 12, 18 and 24th. First game is in Toronto and the next two are in Vancouver. In total, Vancouver is hosting 7 games while Toronto is hosting 6. Toronto Schedule: June 12th (CAN), June 17th, June 20th, June 23rd, June 26th, July 2nd (R32) Vancouver Schedule: June 13th, June 18th (CAN), June 21st, June 24th (CAN), June 26th, July 2nd (R32), July 7th (R16)

For my list, I was just referencing athletes from NOCs that don't have two athletes in an open water event. You are mostly right. Quotas at the 2023 world championships were awarded to the athlete while quotas at these world championships were awarded to the NOC. So Italy would be able to select Paltrinieri but for Germany, Wellbrock and Klemet qualified in 2023 so I believe they have to be selected.

Now that the 10km qualification is done, here are other pool athletes who are eligible to compete in the open water aces at Paris as of today. I can make a full list once the qualification period is over. Men: Emir Batur Albayrak Felix Auboeck Henrik Christiansen Guilherme Costa Marwan El Kamash Carlos Garach Ahmed Hafnaoui Fei Liwei Jon Joentvedt Victor Johansson Kim Woomin Alfonso Mestre Petar Mitsin Nguyen Huy Hoang Mykhailo Romanchuk Vlad Stancu Kuzey Tuncelli Daniel Wiffen Zhang Zhanshuo Women: Erika Fairweather Gao Weizhong Ajna Kesely Li Bingjie Simona Quadarella

My calculations: General: Host Reallocation: Africa: Americas: Asia: Europe: Oceania reallocation:

Gold for Rasovszky!!! Now to figure out the quotas

Fontaine, Acerenza, Olivier are the standings with one lap to go. Rasovszky starting to fall off. Fontaine really taking it to the rest of the field now

Fontaine now takes the lead over Rasovszky. Acerenza still in 3rd
