I'm not sure if there's been an official decision yet but I'm pretty sure Japan has decided to reject it. They didn't put all the top 4 finishers in the 100m freestyle from their trials on their roster.

Australian Trials Psych Sheets!

Completely missed this from a few days ago. We have the venues for the 2026 World Baseball Classic! Only one East Asian host this time . Hopefully this means more balanced pools.

2024 AP Race London International - London (GBR) May 25th - May 27th 2024 Meet Results The following new OQTs were achieved Women's 200m Individual Medley Barbora Seemanova

Most likely, she was on the junior podium in something like 6 events so it wouldn't make sense otherwise. I think she starts college at Ohio State this fall so it probably would've conflicted with the start of the school year.

Junior teams ready to take international stage – Swimming Canada Rosters for both Junior Pan Pacs and Junior Open Water Championships. Notably, no Sienna Angove.

Two important stories to report: The bad news: 2023 N.L MVP and Atlanta Braves star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. tore his ACL and is out for the remainder of the season. The good news: The worst umpire of all time, Angel Hernandez, is retiring!

You can be sure that China will suddenly become a high diving powerhouse if it ever gets added to the Olympics.

Leon Marchand went 59.06 in the 100m breaststroke today at the speedo grand challenge. Puts the French medley relay into medal contention.

I am dreading the day that there'll no more swimmers on the team born in the 90s

Safe to say that the men's 50m freestyle will have no shortage of swimmers.

Yeah, it's not even close. 308 men have achieved an OQT in the qualification period compared to 242 women. Ultimately, there's just much more depth on the men's side compared to the women's.

The crazy thing is that even if you followed the qualification system before Tokyo and took the 16th place time from the heats, the qualification time would only get slower by 0.1 seconds from 53.61 to 53.71 and there would be only two new qualifiers. That's how insanely fast the Tokyo heats were. Hard to get a concrete number with countries like US and Australia not having their trials yet, some countries having more than two OQT athletes in an event, and some relay only athletes not being finalized. Id say 615 athletes would be a good guess.

So that's roughly a team size of 50 athletes.

One month left to go in the qualification period! Here's approximately how many qualifiers we have in each individual event as of now.

One of the editors at swimswam reached out to World Aquatics about Penny's situation and finally got a response. Despite having the consideration time, she would not be allowed to swim the individual 100 free because she's a relay only athlete. So she needs the OQT. However, if she doesn't get the OQT, one of Maggie or MSH would still be able to swim because they also both have the consideration time + an OQT in another event.

I am still in shock. This has to be the worst, if not one of the worst qualification disasters in Canadian Olympic history.

Even if swimming did allow 3 athletes per NOC, it's very unlikely there would be any sweeps at these Olympics. There is a chance Australia would sweep the women's 100m freestyle but Siobhan Haughey and/or Marrit Steenbergen would likely prevent that from happening.
