4 events, 2 qualifiers in each event! Great night of swimming! Summer and MSH delivered of course! Given his performance in the 200 IM I expected Jankovics to be a bit faster but it was still a good time. Same with Wigginton. Both had the 2nd fastest performances of their careers and hopefully we can get 1 or both of them in the final at Worlds. Wasn't sure what to expect from the 200m backstroke races but they both absolutely delivered. Given their trajectories, and the absence of Masse and McIntosh in the women's race, I knew that Ekk and Kryger had what it took to make the team but a 1:56 and 2:09 (along with a Canadian record for Ekk) blew all expectations out of the water. Bodes very well for the future.

Well, mixed bag today. Of course, Summer is the big story as always and she just misses the World Record. Not surprising given the absurdity of the 200 fly world record but she'll give it another go in Singapore. Also nice to see Jansen get a PB. She's been swimming well this week. Given his NCAA season, I didn't have the greatest expectations for Kharun in this event but he proved everyone that he'll be right up their amongst the medal contenders again with his swim tonight. Now for the 100 frees ... For the women, cool to see Ingrid qualify for the relay. Not sure if she'll actually be given relay duty at worlds though. Other than that, not great times. Penny's been faster already this year although she seemed happy with the time. Would be a complete shock if we win a medal and given the renaissance of European sprint freestylers this year, not making the final wouldn't surprise me. I would be totally not using Summer and MSH for this relay and letting them get some rest. Hopefully some juniors step up within the next 3 years. As for the men, 48.37 for Gaziev is a good result, 48.42 for Sauve is a phenomenal result. That was probably my 3rd favourite performance of the night. Liendo will hoooopefully be faster. Brittany MacLean mentioned he's also been dealing with illness this year so maybe that's also affecting his times. 49.13 is a slight PB for Senc-Samardzic I think. He's still only 19 or 20 so he's got a lot of room to improve. If there's a year to start integrating some of the youngsters into the relay lineups, this would be the year with the start of the new quad. Knox and Kharun could also factor into the final if they qualify. 50m breaststroke races went about as expected. Would've been nice to see one or two women get under the A standard but it's not surprising. Nice to see Dawson sweep all the men's events. Looking forward to his development over this quad. Looking forward to tomorrow. Only 4 events but chances of A-standard qualifiers in all of them. And of course we'll be on WR watch in Summer's signature event.

Finally had time to watch! Wonderful night overall. Good to see both Penny and Taylor under 25 seconds. Unfortunate for Kharun to miss the standard by 0.01 seconds but Liendo going 21.88 untapered is a good sign of things to come. Sooo happy that Lepage made the team. That's her fastest time since her gold medal winning swim at 2023 World Juniors. And nice to see Dawson keep dropping more time. And of course, as it's been mentioned already, absolutely incredible swims by both Summer and MSH. The 200m butterfly world record is seriously under threat tomorrow. And on the men's side, Knox slower than last year but wouldn't be too worried as he was dealing with injuries earlier this year. I'd say the 3rd most impressive swim of the night besides Summer and MSH would be Jankovics going 1:58.01. Huge PB for him and can't wait to see what he does in the 400 IM. I would say that the Canadian record is under threat.

Another day, another world record for Summer McIntosh!!! She broke Katinka Hosszu's 200 IM world record from 2015 with a time of 2:05.70!!!

I heard the in arena announcer called him "Mr. Worldwide" during one of his heat swims

So if Summer does end up not swimming the 800, then I think Ella Cosgrove would be selected. She was a second off the AQUA standard I believe. Worth keeping an eye on.

Summer won the 800m freestyle in a time of 8:05.07, 3rd fastest performance of all time. Whether or not she'll swim this at World championships is still unknown.

8:05.07 so close!!!

4:01.17 at 400m!

Summer is coming up!

50.46 for Liendo with a fully grown beard and a PB for Kharun

The first 100m butterfly race in the post Maggie Mac Neil era ends in a whimper unfortunately

Brittany MacLean on the stream seems to be suggesting that she will continue with the addition of the stroke 50s

Unfortunately, I had to leave after the women's 200 breast (and won't be able to watch live most of the days). I was in a disppointed mood after the men's 100 back but Summer changed everything

MSH just destroyed her PB in the 200m breaststroke again. Won the final in 2:23.40 and now ranks 6th in the world. Sophie Angus also qualified for world championships with a new PB of 2:24.84. Bodes well for the sprint events.

Looks like the US figured out their breaststroke problem for the men's medley relay because 18 year old Campbell McKean won US trials in a time of 58.96. They also seem to have had a resurgence in the men's 400 free. Rex Maurer won the race in 3:43.33 and Luka Mijatovic (still 16 years old) finished 2nd in 3:45.71. Also the other night, Gretchen Walsh just missed her 100 fly World record finishing in 54.76. She now has the 7 fastest times ever, all swam within the past year.

24.66 in the 50m butterfly for Gretchen Walsh! 4th fastest performance of all time, top 3 all belong to Sjöström 1:43.73 for Luke Hobson in the 200 free!

16 year old 16 year old Luka Mijatovic went 1:45.92 in the 200 free heats! That's faster than Thorpe when he was 16. Also yesterday, Katie Ledecky put up a time of 8:05.76, 3rd fastest performance all time behind her world record swim last month and her gold medal performance at Rio.

In the morning heats, Jack Alexy put up a 46.99 100 free time
