Berke Saka appears on Turkey's official delegation list which means that he must have gotten an OCT invite in the men's 200m Individual Medley

Singapore: 22 athletes (6 men + 16 women) Source Athletics: 1 (1 woman) Badminton: 2 (2 men + 2 women) Canoeing: 1 (1 woman) Equestrian - Dressage: 1 (1 woman) Fencing - 2 (2 women) Golf - 1 (1 woman) Rowing - 1 (1 woman) Sailing - 2 (2 men) Shooting - 1 (1 woman) Swimming - 5 (1 man + 4 women) Table Tennis - 3 (1 man + 2 women)

So 33 male entries vs. 24 female entries. Thomas Bach probably threw his computer across his office after seeing that.

Oh, don't get me wrong, it's an incredible result! It's just ironic given our history of 4th place finishes at the Olympics

I see that Canada is heading for the inevitable 4th place finish

Only two predicted individual medals for Summer McIntosh is insane!

So the group will be Canada Greece Australia Spain Meanwhile, the US is in a group with Puerto Rico and South Sudan

3:50.83 for Jess Hull

WR for Faith Kipyegon!! 3:49.04

National Record of 7:35.73 for CPT in the men's 3000m to finish 4th. Fafard sets a new PB of 7:38.07 to finish 6th.

Lol, what in the world is happening today!

8:13.11 PB for Jean-Simon Desgagnes at the Paris Diamond League. Would've gotten him under the Olympic standard.

For the last 4 quotas at the 2024 Olympics: Spain vs. Bahamas Latvia vs. Brazil Croatia vs. Greece Lithuania vs. Puerto Rico

Trae-Bell Haynes has been released from training camp. 15 players remain.

I think Paulina Peda could get an invite in the women's 100m butterfly. In Tokyo, the final list came out 10 days before the start of the swimming competition. Hopefully it comes out earlier this year.

I've figured it out. Chelius's time is from the 2023 South African National Championships. Thomasberger's time is from the Q!-Cup. Neither of them were approved Olympic Qualifying meets unfortunately.

World Aquatics sent out an email to all national federations 2 months ago saying that no B cut swimmers may qualify. Turns out it couldn't be further from the truth.

I don't think either Emma Chelius or David Thomasberger have an OCT. At least according to the qualification page.

Must have some friends on the selection committee

Is Seemanova planning on swimming the 100m freestyle? That could play a role in whether or not she gets invited. Also the other athletes that got invited have the A standard in another event and Janickova doesn't

The first Olympics that I watched was Beijing 2008. I was blessed to have my first two Olympics be Beijing 2008 (being able to see the greatness of Phelps and Bolt) and Vancouver 2010 (home Olympics and two of the greatest weeks in Canadian history). I think that's I big reason why I'm such a big fan today. Best Olympics was definitely Vancouver 2010. Home Olympics, 14 gold medals. Don't think it'll ever be topped in my lifetime. Worst is probably London 2012. Only 1 gold medal won.

Good to see World Aquatics make a good decision Neza Klancar is another athlete I've heard will race the 100m freestyle without either the A or B standard

According to the GB athletics team announcement, they rejected all 3 places in the women's 5000m which would mean Briana Scott should get a reallocated quota

Wait, Majerski got selected over 3 other guys with an OCT? Thats weird. Maybe because he has an OQT in another event. Either it's an error by the Polish federation or World Aquatics decided to make the B-standards easier would be my guess.
