Here's the calendar on the World Aquatics site and here's the Totallympics version that I've been updating Yeah, definitely not a fan of your federation's harsh standards. If Amelie Blocksidge hits the OQT but misses the BQT and they don't take her, I might just bring my pitchfork to British Swimming's headquarters.

Not an Olympic qualification event unfortunately. Could be added later though.

At the ACC time trial today, Chris Guiliano swam a 47.49 100m freestyle. That checks in as the 5th fastest American performer of all time. US 4x100m relay in good shape heading into this summer.

In swimming, Summer McIntosh should be a heavy favourite to win the women's 400m Individual Medley. And if she doesn't swim the 800m freestyle (which seems very likely), then Ledecky should be a lock in that event too.

His time is now officially on the "Road to Paris" rankings. Being 12th in the rankings with an indoor time is wild!

2024 International Swim Meet Faros - Elena Sairi - Alexandroupolis (GRE) February 23rd - February 25th 2024 Meet Results No new OQTs were achieved

Now that both the 2023 and 2024 World Championships are over, it's a good time to look at which countries are eligible for universalities. Looking at the entry lists for both championships, we can compile a rough list of which countries are eligible. The following NOC's are eligible for both a male and female universality quota (123 NOC's, 246 athletes): The following NOC's are eligible for only a male universality quota (20 NOC's, 20 athletes): The following NOC's are eligible for only a female universality quota (16 NOC's 16 athletes): So as of now, we are looking at 282 universality athletes from 159 NOC's

Italian team update: The following athletes earned a spot on the Italian Olympic team as a result of winning a medal at the 2024 World Championships: Sara Franceschi - W 400m Individual Medley Nicolo Martinenghi - M 100m Breaststroke Simona Quadarella - W 800m Freestyle, W 1500m Freestyle Alberto Razzetti - M 200m Butterfly In addition, Lorenzo Zazzeri also achieved the time set by the Italian swimming federation at Doha so I believe he's also qualified for the team. So the updated Italian team is below: Thomas Ceccon - M 100m Backstroke Sara Franceschi - W 400m Individual Medley Nicolo Martinenghi - M 100m Breaststroke Alessandro Miressi - M 100m Freestyle Gregorio Paltrinieri - M 1500m Freestyle Benedetta Pilato - W 100m Breaststroke Simona Quadarella - W 800m Freestyle, W 1500m Freestyle Alberto Razzetti - M 200m Butterfly, M 200m Individual Medley, M 400m Individual Medley Lorenzo Zazzeri - M 50m Freestyle Athletes will have another chance to qualify at the Italian Championships from March 5-9.

German team update: The following athletes placed in the top 4 in their events at the 2024 world championships and earned a spot on the German Olympic team. Every other swimmer will have to achieve an OQT during the April 1-28 period to be nominated. Isabel Gose - W 400m Freestyle, W 800m Freestyle, W 1500m Freestyle Angelina Köhler - W 100m Butterfly Lukas Märtens - M 200m Freestyle, M 400m Freestyle Sven Schwarz - M 800m Freestyle Florian Wellbrock - M 1500m Freestyle

Ooh, this is fun. Mostly agree with your lineups. Still a few months away from trials so my opinions will probably change so in the meantime, let's have some fun. Men's 4x100 Free: Kharun (Knox) -> Gaziev -> Acevedo > Liendo Men's 4x200 Free: Gaziev -> Acevedo -> Kim -> Kharun (Wigginton) Men's 4x100 Medley: Tierney -> Dergousoff -> Kharun (Liendo) -> Liendo (Gaziev) Im listing alternates for Kharun because I'm not sure if he'll actually swim the relays or not but he should be one of the best options still. Women's 4x100 Free: McIntosh -> MacNeil -> Harvey -> Ruck Women's 4x200 Free: Harvey -> Brousseau -> Ruck (Jansen) -> McIntosh Women's 4x100 Medley: Masse -> Angus -> MacNeil -> Ruck Mixed 4x100 Medley: Tierney (Masse) -> Dergousoff -> MacNeil (Liendo)-> Ruck

Wow Clareburt!!! Foster off the podium.

Tokyo was only because of covid I believe. A lot of swimmers had trouble crossing the border or finding places to train.
