New OQTs from Day 2: Men's 100m Freestyle: Kristof Milak Men's 800m Freestyle: Krzysztof Chmielewski Zalan Sarkany Men's 200m Backstroke: David Gerchik Women's 100m Freestyle: Barbora Seemanova Women's 100m Breaststroke: Anastasia Gorbenko Gorbenko is absolutely on fire and new qualifier in the women's 100 free

Don't worry. She's not abandoning us. She's based in Spain and like Josh said, probably wants to get in some racing before the Olympics. Most Canadians are at a competition this week.

Also, Kylie Masse will be racing at the Spanish Olympic Trials this week.

Three Canadian triathletes to try for podium at Paris 2024 - Team Canada - Official Olympic Team Website Triathlon team officially named

US Olympic Trials: Day 3 Finals: Women's 400m Individual Medley (OQT: 4:38.53): 1. Katie Grimes - 4:35.00 Q 2. Emma Weyant - 4:35.56 Q? 3. Lilla Bognar - 4:37.86 4. Leah Smith - 4:39.87 5. Leah Hayes - 4:41.32 6. Lucy Bell - 4:41.40 7. Zoe Dixon - 4:42.01 8. Audrey Derivaux - 4:46.89 2nd Olympics for both women. 4:35.00 seems a bit slow for Grimes only further cementing McIntosh as the big favourite in this event. Men's 200m Freestyle (OQT: 1:46.26) 1. Luke Hobson - 1:44.89 Q 2. Chris Guiliano - 1:45.38 Q 3. Drew Kibler - 1:45.60 q 4. Kieran Smith - 1:45.61 q 5. Brooks Curry - 1:45.89 q? 6. Blake Pieroni - 1:46.09 q? 7. Jake Mitchell - 1:46.48 8. Aaron Shackell - 1:47.37 Good swim by Hobson to go sub 1:45. Chris Guiliano continues his breakout and comes out of nowhere to get the 2nd individual spot. Kibler and Smith also will be part of the relay. Smith would probably be disappointed with that swim after having the fastest time in semis yesterday. Curry and Pieroni will have to wait until later in the week to find out if they've made the team. Men's 100m Backstroke (OQT: 53.74) 1. Ryan Murphy - 52.22 Q 2. Hunter Armstrong - 52.72 Q? 3. Jack Aikins - 52.74 4. Adam Chaney - 53.44 5. Justin Ress - 53.57 6. Will Modglin - 53.69 7. Jack Wilkening - 53.79 8. Tommy Janton - 53.87 To no one's surprise, Murphy and Armstrong qualify. However, Jack Aikins almost managed to beat out Armstrong just missing by 0.02 seconds. He'll have a good shot to qualify in the 200 back though. These are the 3rd Olympics for Murphy and the 2nd for Armstrong. Women's 100m Breaststroke (OQT: 1:06.79) 1. Lilly King - 1:05.43 2. Emma Weber - 1:06.10 3. Lydia Jacoby - 1:06.37 4. Kaitlyn Dobler - 1:06.77 5. Kaelyn Gridley - 1:07.03 6. Alex Walsh - 1:07.38 7. McKenzie Siroky - 1:07.71 8. Ella Nelson - 1:07.83 In one of the biggest surprises of the meet so far, Lydia Jacoby will not be defending her gold medal from Tokyo. In an even bigger surprise, it's Emma Weber (and not Kaitln Dobler like some predicted) who out touched her for 2nd. Lilly King continued her dominance swimming in her home state of Indiana. Women's 200m Freestyle (OQT: 1:57.26) 1. Katie Ledecky - 1:55.22 Q 2. Claire Weinstein - 1:56.18 Q 3. Paige Madden - 1:56.36 q 4. Erin Gemmell - 1:56.75 q 5. Anna Peplowski - 1:57.04 q? 6. Alex Shackell - 1:57.05 q? 7. Simone Manuel - 1:57.13 8. Katie Grimes - 1:57.33 3rd straight year that Ledecky and Weinstein go 1 and 2 at US trials. It remains to be seen whether or not she'll swim this individually which would mean that Paige Madden would get a 2nd individual swim if she doesn't. Erin Gemmell also qualifies for the relay. This has significance because her father used to coach Katie Ledecky. Peplowski and Shackell will have to wait. Semi-finals: Advancing to Women's 100m Backstroke Final: 1. Regan Smith - 57.47 (American Record) 2. Katharine Berkoff - 57.83 3. Josephine Fuller - 58.79 3. Kennedy Noble - 58.79 5. Rhyan White - 59.08 5. Claire Curzan - 59.08 7. Leah Shackley - 59.25 8. Phoebe Bacon - 59.33 Regan Smith is clearly in the form of her life right now. Berkoff also becomes the 5th woman in history to go under 58 seconds. Those two will be the favourites heading into tomorrow's final. However, the rest of the times are also insane for a domestic field. 59.33 is arguably faster than what it'll take to final at the Olympics. Qualifiers after Day 3 (25 athletes): Priority 1: 1st place finishers (9 swimmers) Nic Fink - M 100m Breaststroke, M 4x100m Medley Relay Carson Foster - M 400m Individual Medley Katie Grimes - W 400m Individual Medley Luke Hobson - M 200m Freestyle, 4x200m Freestyle Relay Lilly King - W 100m Breaststroke, 4x100m Medley Relay Katie Ledecky - W 200m Freestyle, 400m Freestyle, 4x200m Freestyle Relay Ryan Murphy - M 100m Backstroke, 4x100m Medley Relay Aaron Shackell - M 400m Freestyle Gretchen Walsh - W 100m Butterfly, W 4x100m Medley Relay Priority 2: Top 4 in 100m Freestyle and 200m Freestyle (6 swimmers) Erin Gemmell - W 4x200m Freestyle Relay Chris Guiliano - M 200m Freestyle, 4x200m Freestyle Relay Drew Kibler - M 4x200m Freestyle Relay Paige Madden - W 400m Freestyle, 4x200m Freestyle Relay Kieran Smith - M 400m Freestyle, 4x200m Freestyle Relay Claire Weinstein - W 200m Freestyle, 4x200m Freestyle Relay Priority 3: Other 2nd place finishers (6 swimmers) *Not guaranteed selection - Need 6 doubles per gender Hunter Armstrong - M 100m Backstroke, 4x100m Medley Relay Torri Huske - W 100m Butterfly, W 4x100m Medley Relay Chase Kalisz - M 400m Individual Medley Charlie Swanson - M 100m Breaststroke, M 4x100m Medley Relay Emma Weber - W 10m Breaststroke, 4x100m Medley Relay Emma Weyant - W 400m Individual Medley Priority 4: 5th place finishers in 100m Freestyle and 200m Freestyle (2 swimmers) *Not guaranteed selection - Need 8 doubles per gender Brooks Curry - M 4x200m Freestyle Relay Anna Peplowski - W 4x200m Freestyle Relay Priority 5: 6th place finishers in 100m Freestyle and 200m Freestyle (2 swimmers) *Not guaranteed selection - Need 10 doubles per gender Blake Pieroni - M 4x200m Freestyle Relay Alex Shackell - W 4x200m Freestyle Relay Doubles count: Men: 1 Women: 2

2024 National Zong Cheng Cup - Taichung (TWN) June 13th - June 17th 2024 Meet Results No new OQTs were achieved

I have a very bad feeling that Regan Smith is going to clock a 2:03 200 fly in a few days. Edit: Never mind, read that as gold medal lock

Also at the Sette Colli Trophy are Penny Oleksiak, Mary-Sophie Harvey and Jeremy Bagshaw.

Do you mean through the rankings? Surely we'll have 3 hammer throwers in Paris.

New OQTs from Day 1: Men's 200m Freestyle: Nandor Nemeth Men's 100m Breaststroke: Andrius Sidlauskas Men's 400m Individual Medley: Balazs Hollo Apostolos Papastamos Gabor Zombori Women's 200m Freestyle: Anastasia Gorbenko

It's more so his parents that I dislike for controlling his life and ruining his swimming career (his dad is his coach). The 100m breaststroke result is satisfying since his dad thinks his training style is superior to that of other coaches.

US Olympic Trials: Day 2 Finals: Men's 400m Individual Medley (OQT: 4:12.50): 1. Carson Foster - 4:07.64 Q 2. Chase Kalisz - 4:09.39 Q? 3. Jay Litherland - 4:12.34 4. Ian Grum - 4:15.06 5. Tommy Bried - 4:15.15 6. Kyle Ponsler - 4:16.53 7. Gregg Enoch - 4:17.64 8. Danny Berlitz - 4:17.65 Carson Foster gets redemption from his 3rd place finish 3 years ago. Really happy for the guy. He was clearly really emotional about it after the race. Chase Kalisz will also likely be headed to his 3rd Olympics. Women's 100m Butterfly (OQT: 57.62) 1. Gretchen Walsh - 55.31 Q 2. Torri Huske - 55.52 Q? 3. Regan Smith - 55.62 4. Claire Curzan - 57.47 5. Kelly Pash - 57.72 6. Beata Nelson - 57.80 7. Lillie Nordmann - 57.92 8. Emma Sticklen - 58.44 Insanely fast times. With this race, we had Gretchen Walsh swimming the 2nd fastest performance of all time and Torri Huske and Regan Smith becoming the 3rd and 4th fastest performers of all time. Walsh and Huske will enter Paris as the favorites for gold and silver. Men's 100m Breaststroke (OQT: 59.49) 1. Nic Fink - 59.08 Q 2. Charlie Swanson - 59.16 Q? 3. Josh Matheny - 59.23 4. Liam Bell - 59.40 5. Noah Nichols - 59.69 6. Jake Foster - 59.84 7. Luke Rodarte - 59.85 8. Michael Andrew - 1:00.11 There were some doubts about him qualifying yesterday but Nic Fink delivered his best race of trials tonight to qualify in 1st for his 2nd Olympic Team. Charlie Swanson also continued his good form to likely qualify for his first Olympic Team. Semi-finals: Advancing to Men's 200m Freestyle Final: 1. Kieran Smith - 1:45.39 2. Luke Hobson - 1:45.58 3. Drew Kibler - 1:45.82 4. Jake Mitchell - 1:46.43 5. Blake Pieroni - 1:46.52 6. Brooks Curry - 1:46.60 7. Chris Guiliano - 1:46.83 8. Aaron Shackell - 1:46.95 (Won swimoff) Advancing to Women's 100m Breaststroke Final: 1. Lilly King - 1:05.57 2. Kaitlyn Dobler - 1:06.42 3. Emma Weber - 1:06.48 4. Lydia Jacoby - 1:06.66 5. Kaelyn Gridley - 1:06.67 6. Alex Walsh - 1:06.87 7. Ella Nelson - 1:07.41 8. McKenzie Siroky - 1:07.73 Should be an easy qualification for King. Lots of people thought Jacoby would be a lock for the 2nd spot but it looks like that won't quite be the case here. McKenzie Siroky qualifying for the final is pretty impressive since she's an ice hockey player and only started to swim full time recently. Also the 46 year old Gabrielle Rose placed 10th in a new PB of 1:08.32 Advancing to Men's 100m Backstroke Final: 1. Ryan Murphy - 52.65 2. Adam Chaney - 53.08 3. Jack Aikins - 53.23 4. Hunter Armstrong - 53.57 5. Tommy Janton - 53.61 6. Jack Wilkening - 53.70 7. Justin Ress - 53.78 8. Will Modglin - 53.83 A heart stopping moment happened in the 2nd semifinal where Hunter Armstrong slipped off the starting blocks and was way behind. However, he managed to still finish 2nd and qualify. Assuming there aren't any issues in the final, he and Murphy should have no trouble qualifying. Advancing to Women's 200m Freestyle Final: 1. Katie Ledecky - 1:55.25 2. Claire Weinstein - 1:55.86 3. Paige Madden - 1:56.36 4. Erin Gemmell - 1:56.53 5. Katie Grimes - 1:57.19 6. Alex Shackell - 1:57.42 7. Anna Peplowski - 1:57.55 8. Simone Manuel - 1:57.63 You will notice relay regular Bella Sims not listed. That's because she finished 17th in prelims and failed to qualify for the semifinals. This was after a disastrous 400m freestyle performance yesterday. Unfortunately, it looks like her chances of making the Olympic Team are basically over. Qualifiers after Day 2 (10 athletes): Priority 1: 1st place winners (5 swimmers) Nic Fink - M 100m Breaststroke, M 4x100m Medley Relay Carson Foster - M 400m Individual Medley Katie Ledecky - W 400m Freestyle Aaron Shackell - M 400m Freestyle Gretchen Walsh - W 100m Butterfly, W 4x100m Medley Relay Priority 2: Top 4 in 100m Freestyle and 200m Freestyle Priority 3: Other 2nd place finishers (5 swimmers) *Not guaranteed selection - Need 6 doubles per gender Torri Huske - W 100m Butterfly, W 4x100m Medley Relay Chase Kalisz - M 400m Individual Medley Paige Madden - W 400m Freestyle Kieran Smith - M 400m Freestyle Charlie Swanson - M 100m Breaststroke, M 4x100m Medley Relay Priority 4: 5th place finishers in 100m Freestyle and 200m Freestyle *Not guaranteed selection - Need 8 doubles per gender Priority 5: 6th place finishers in 100m Freestyle and 200m Freestyle *Not guaranteed selection - Need 10 doubles per gender

Here's the entry list. Definitely a weaker field compared to previous years. France is absent because they have their Olympic Trials this week. Spain is also absent because they also have their Olympic Trials. Great Britain and Germany are sending B Teams. The Italian Team will be at the Sette Colli Trophy The Dutch team just finished their national championships and also will be at the Sette Colli Trophy However, almost all the European athletes from the smaller European countries that are chasing OQTs will be here so it will basically have the feel of an Olympic Trials. Plus, there'll still be a few stars like Popovici, Milak, and Kos.

46 year old Gabrielle Rose qualified for the 100m breaststroke semifinals at US trials with a time of 1:08.43.

Fun fact: Gretchen Walsh took out her World Record in 25.45 seconds. That time alone would rank 5th in the World this year in the 50m butterfly. Will be interesting to see if she can break the 55 second barrier tonight.

US Olympic Trials: Day 1 Finals: Men's 400m Freestyle: 1. Aaron Shackell - 3:45.46 Q 2. Kieran Smith - 3:45.76 Q? 3. David Johnston - 3:46.19 4. Bobby Finke - 3:46.27 5. Luke Whitlock - 3:46.55 6. Jake Magahey - 3:46.89 7. Daniel Matheson - 3:48.63 8. Jake Mitchell - 3:50.76 3 years ago, only one person in the final hit the A standard and there was a time trial to who else would get the 2nd spot. That wasn't an issue this year as the top 5 went under that time. Aaron Shackell is officially the first qualifier on the US team. As a reminder, the 2nd place finisher isn't yet guaranteed a spot on the Olympic team due to the athlete limit so Kieran Smith will have to wait. Women's 400m Freestyle: 1. Katie Ledecky - 3:58.35 Q 2. Paige Madden - 4:02.08 Q? 3. Jillian Cox - 4:06.89 4. Kayla Han - 4:08.21 5. Aurora Roghair - 4:08.66 6. Anna Peplowski - 4:09.20 7. Leah Smith - 4:09.34 8. Madi Mintenko Easy win for Ledecky and good time for her. Moves her ahead of McIntosh's time at Canadian Trials and only trails Titmus. Paige Madden has been in great form all year and was my pick to take the 2nd spot here and I'm glad she got that spot. Another thing worth mentioning is that Bella Sims and Claire Weinstein both bombed out in prelims and failing to make the final. Semi-finals: Advancing to Women's 100m Butterfly Final: 1. Gretchen Walsh - 55.18 (WR) 2. Torri Huske - 55.79 3. Regan Smith - 55.92 4. Alex Shackell - 56.78 5. Claire Curzan - 57.24 6. Emma Sticklen - 57.77 7. Beata Nelson - 57.80 8. Kelly Pash Should be an easy qualification for Walsh and Huske. Advancing to Men's 100m Breaststroke Final: 1. Charlie Swanson - 59.34 2. Josh Matheny - 59.42 3. Nic Fink - 59.46 4. Liam Bell - 59.57 5. Jake Foster - 59.63 6. Michael Andrew - 59.65 7. Noah Nichols - 59.76 8. Luke Rodarte - 59.78 Don't think anyone expected Charlie Swanson to contend for a spot in this event. Will be interesting to see if he can keep it up in the final tomorrow. Nic Fink has his hands full. Qualifiers after Day 1 (4 athletes): Priority 1: 1st place winners Katie Ledecky - W 400m Freestyle Aaron Shackell - M 400m Freestyle Priority 2: Top 4 in 100m Freestyle and 200m Freestyle Priority 3: Other 2nd place finishers (Not guaranteed selection) Paige Madden - W 400m Freestyle Kieran Smith - M 400m Freestyle Priority 4: 5th place finishers in 100m Freestyle and 200m Freestyle (Not guaranteed selection) Priority 5: 6th place finishers in 100m Freestyle and 200m Freestyle (Not guaranteed selection)

@Josh @dullard https://dlhd.so/stream/stream-53(dot)php This link works apparently. You just have to replace the dot with .

Probably pay for peacock or find an illegal stream I guess? I'm thankful I live close to the US border so I get access to NBC as part of the cable package

Athletics: I went with the worst case scenario. Should hopefully be more than that. Tennis: It's FAA, Fernandez, Andreescu, Dabrowski, and then maybe someone else for doubles I believe. Am I missing something?
