Looks like both MSH and Pickrem scratched the 400 IM. Big opportunity for one of Jansen or Brousseau to get an individual event!

Canadian Olympic Trials: Day 3 Men's 200m Freestyle (OQT: 1:46.26) 1. Alex Axon - 1:47.56 Q 2. Patrick Hussey - 1:47.78 Q 3. Lorne Wigginton - 1:47.93 Q 4. Jeremy Bagshaw - 1:48.49 Q Nobody under the OQT but good chance all 4 of these guys qualify for the relay depending on how many relay-only athletes there are. We also had guys like Acevedo, Knox, and Liendo scratch the final so that opened up the space for some others to qualify for their first Olympics including 32 year old Bagshaw. 1:47.56 doesn't sound like a good winning time but in 2021, the winning time was 1:49.07 and 6 guys went under that tonight. Women's 100m Backstroke (OQT: 59.99) 1. Kylie Masse - 57.94 Q 2. Ingrid Wilm - 59.31 Q 3. Taylor Ruck - 59.78 Kylie Masse is back! Her fastest time since 2021. Also great to see Wilm qualify for her first Olympics and Ruck back in form. Men's 200m Breaststroke (OQT: 2:09.68) 1. Oliver Dawson - 2:12.42 2. Brayden Taivassalo - 2:12.83 3. Justice Migneault - 2:13.52 Dawson is just 16 years old by the way. Women's 1500m Freestyle (OQT: 16:09.09) 1. Emma Finlin - 16:28.15 2. Julia Strojnowska - 16:42.99 3. Peyton Leigh - 16:59.05 Finlin is already qualified in open water. Qualifiers after Day 3: 16 Swimmers (8 men + 8 women) Priority 1: Swimmers finishing in the top 2 in an event at Olympic Trials with OQT (8 swimmers) Javier Acevedo - Men's 100m Backstroke Mary-Sophie Harvey - Women's 200m Freestyle, 100m Butterfly, 4x200m Freestyle Relay Tristan Jankovics - Men's 400m Individual Medley Maggie Mac Neil - Women's 100m Butterfly Kylie Masse - Women's 100m Backstroke Summer McIntosh - Women's 200m Freestyle, 400m Freestyle, 4x200m Freestyle Relay Blake Tierney - Men's 100m Backstroke Ingrid Wilm - Women's 100m Backstroke Priority 2: Relay swimmers (top 4 in 100/200m freestyle + stroke 100 winners not in Priority 1) (8 swimmers) Sophie Angus - Women's 4x100m Medley Relay (Has the W 100m breaststroke OQT outside of trials) Alex Axon - Men's 4x200m Freestyle Relay Jeremy Bagshaw - Men's 4x200m Freestyle Relay Julie Brousseau - Women's 4x200m Freestyle Relay Patrick Hussey - Men's 4x200m Freestyle Relay Finlay Knox - Men's 4x100m Medley Relay Emma O'Croinin - Women's 4x200m Freestyle Relay Lorne Wigginton - Men's 4x200m Freestyle Relay

Dawson is going to be a monster at Junior Pan Pacs!

Also a new 1:00.73 PB for the 15 year old Kryger 1:00.23 for Rathwell also bodes well for her 200

First Olympics for Wilm! Also Ruck under the OQT. Bodes well for her freestyle events.

57.94!!!

3 1:47s! and Bagshaw qualifies for his 1st Olympics at 32!

That's not what he was saying. He was saying he wants more athletes compared to the expected number. You've got to treat the "two backstrokers and 4x200m relay" part as one group, not separate.

Canadian record for Reid Maxwell

Liendo and Knox both scratched the final. Vilchez and Acevedo are in.

National Age Group Record for Oliver Dawson to lead the 200m breaststroke heats

Wow, not the 200 free results I was expecting. Everybody who finaled went under 1:50! Likely going to get some unexpected qualifier(s)

Not surprisingly, Summer McIntosh has scratched the 100m backstroke

Canadian Olympic Trials: Day 2 Men's 400m Individual Medley (OQT: 4:12.50) 1. Tristan Jankovics - 4:11.74 Q 2. Lorne Wigginton - 4:13.60 3. Collyn Gagne - 4:16.90 An absolutely sensational swim by Jankovics to beat his PB by almost 6 seconds and get under the OQT. Disappointing for Wigginton though who's PB was just 0.31 off the OQT coming into trials. Women's 200m Freestyle (OQT: 1:57.26) 1. Summer McIntosh - 1:53.69 Q 2. Mary-Sophie Harvey - 1:55.44 Q 3. Julie Brousseau - 1:57.60 Q 4. Emma O'Croinin - 1:57.86 Q 5. Ella Jansen - 1:58.25 6. Brooklyn Douthwright - 1:58.49 Much better swim today from Summer. The commentators seemed to imply that she won't be swimming this event at the Olympics though. Harvey continues her amazing form earning another individual swim and is now the 7th fastest swimmer in the Olympic qualification period. Also great to see Brousseau and O'Croinin make their first Olympic team with PBs. Jansen and Douthwright also put themselves into consideration for selection. Notably, Penny Oleksiak finished 9th in 2:00.18. Men's 100m Backstroke (OQT: 53.74) 1. Blake Tierney - 53.48 Q 2. Javier Acevedo - 53.55 Q 3. Aiden Norman - 53.99 PB's for all of the top 3 swimmers. Women's 100m Breaststroke (OQT: 1:06.79) 1. Sophie Angus - 1:06.96 Q 2. Kelsey Wog - 1:07.00 3. Sydney Pickrem - 1:07.27 By far the most disappointing event of the session. Coming into trials, we had 3 women who had already swum under the OQT and two others at 1:07 low and none of them reached it tonight. Angus qualifies by placing 1st and since she has the OQT from 2024 World Championships, she'll be able to swim the individual 100 breaststroke too. It remains to be seen whether or not Swimming Canada will select one of the other breaststrokers who already have an OQT. Looks like it'll be a 4th place finish in the medley relay. Qualifiers after Day 2: 10 Swimmers (3 men + 7 women) Priority 1: Swimmers finishing in the top 2 in an event at Olympic Trials with OQT (6 swimmers) Javier Acevedo - Men's 100m Backstroke Mary-Sophie Harvey - Women's 200m Freestyle, 100m Butterfly Tristan Jankovics - Men's 400m Individual Medley Maggie Mac Neil - Women's 100m Butterfly Summer McIntosh - Women's 200m Freestyle, 400m Freestyle Blake Tierney - Men's 100m Backstroke Priority 2: Relay swimmers (top 4 in 100/200m freestyle + stroke 100 winners not in Priority 1) (4 swimmers) Sophie Angus - Women's 4x100m Medley Relay (Has the W 100m breaststroke OQT outside of trials) Julie Brousseau - Women's 4x200m Freestyle Relay Finlay Knox - Men's 4x100m Medley Relay Emma O'Croinin - Women's 4x200m Freestyle Relay

He is the personal coach of Tang Qianting, who recently went 1:04 in the womens 100 breaststroke at their trials

Nicholas Bennett broke his own Canadian record in the SB14 100m breaststroke today

Btw, if you guys think these trials have been disappointing, you clearly didn't watch Brazilian trials from last week Yes, there's been a few disappointing results and events but there's been a lot of positive results as well! It's bound to happen at any meet Hopefully the good swims outweighs the disappointing swims for the next 5 days

The OQT actually seems achievable for him given how much time he dropped today

There are discretionary picks. They might just select one of them anyways, who knows

Happy for Angus! At least she has the OQT from 2024 world championships so she'll still be able to swim the individual event. and she's been the best relay breaststroker over the last year. Disappointing times elsewhere though. Though likely two of Pickrem, Wog and Lepage will still qualify through the 200. Gutted for Branton as that basically confirms she won't be going to Paris

Time for the women's 100m breaststroke!

Also great swims for Norman 53.99 and Dommann 54.06. Norman looks like the future of Canadian Backstroke

Let's gooooo!!! Two OQTs

He only has the b standard in the 400 IM so he can't swim it as long as Jankovics is in. Maybe Swimming Canada will give him another shot to get it at the Mare Nostrum or something

1:55.44 MSH 1:57.60 Brousseau 1:57.86 O'Croinin
