Alex Axon with a PB in the 400m, less than 3 seconds away from the Olympic standard

Is it official? He would have to sit out 2024 Olympics if he decided to make the switch now.
 
Regardless, Suriname will qualify in track cycling on Monday

Although they are currently marked as having two qualified athletes,  Suriname may very well be back down to 0 athletes.
 
Renzo Tjon-a-Joe (who qualified in swimming) recently got a dutch passport and will now represent the Netherlands internationally.
 
And then in athletics, I believe Issam Assinga is still suspended so who knows if he will compete in Paris or not.

Michelle Li and Adam Dong/Nyl Yakura have officially qualified for Paris in women’s singles and men’s doubles respectively through the Olympic Rankings!

53.90 for McIntosh in the women’s 100m freestyle! New PB by about half a second!
 
MacNeil in second with a 54.01, MSH in third with a 54.27, and Oleksiak in fourth with a new SB of 54.43.

Quick midweek update on some trials/national meets this week:
 
 Hungary
 
Most of the highlights have already been mentioned by other users on the forum. However, one swim was missed. Yesterday in the men's 200 IM, Gabor Zombori swam 1:57.88 to beat his lifetime best by over a second. That swim gets him under the OQT needed for the Olympics.
 
 South Africa (After 3 of 6 days)
 
Josh has already mentioned Schoenmaker's time. However, in the same race, Kaylene Corbett also went 2:23.71 to also confirm her ticket to Paris. She has been 2:22 in the qualification period at WUGS. 
 
Pieter Coetze also went 1:55.85 in the 200m backstroke to confirm his spot in Paris.
 
Matt Sates has the OQT in the 200m butterfly but wasn't quite able to clear the OQT at this meet. However, I believe South Africa does accept OQT's from outside the national championships if no swimmer hits it there.
 
 New Zealand (After 3 of 5 days)
 
Eve Thomas successfully added the 1500m freestyle to her event lineup to go alongside the 400m and 800m freestyles. She won in 16:07.46 to get under the OQT.
 
Hazel Ouwehand established a New Zealand Record in the Women's 100m Butterfly. Her time of 57.43 gets her a ticket to Paris.
 
Erika Fairweather has been in fine form going 1:55.45 and 4:02.35 in the 200 and 400m freestyles. She's already qualified in both events.
 
Lewis Clareburt is already in fine form. He went 1:47.18 and 3:46.85 in the 200 and 400m freestyles. Both PB's and the latter is under the OCT. These set him up well for his better 200m butterfly and 200m IM events later in the meet where he is still hunting down the OQT's.
 
Despite achieving the OQT at the 2023 World Championships, Andrew Jeffcoat is in danger of missing the Olympics. He already failed to hit the OQT in the 100m backstroke and has one more chance in the 200m backstroke here.

I think you mean Huini Xu (Peyton Leigh was born in 08)
 
That is actually faster than Summer McIntosh was at 11 years old.

Oleksiak went 54.67 as well. Very good result for her.

Solid results in the 200 free. Obviously Summer is a beast but I was definitely more excited about MSH going 1:56.76. 1:58s from Jansen and Brousseau are decent results at this point in time and of course it's great to see Penny getting better.
 
Also in the 100m backstroke, 15 year old Madison Kryger set a new PB of 1:00.81.

Oleksiak went 54.67 as well. Very good result for her.

Men’s team through to the gold medal match at the Pan American Championships and are just one win away from an Olympic quota! Should we win against Colombia on Sunday (far from a given of course) it would be the first time we’ve had a team in archery since Beijing 2008. 

Very excited to see the 100m freestyle final for women later today. Harvey seems to be on a roll right now and I wonder if she can get another PB.

quite disappointed by Milàk's swim over 200m Fly...after this morning, I expected him to be at least 1.5 sec faster Tonight

2:19.01 in the final!

Solid results in the 200 free. Obviously Summer is a beast but I was definitely more excited about MSH going 1:56.76. 1:58s from Jansen and Brousseau are decent results at this point in time and of course it's great to see Penny getting better.

And I think it was a PB for Harvey. 
 
Oleksiask dipping under 2mins for the first time since her comeback. 

1:54.21 for McIntosh in the women’s 200m freestyle final!

1:54.20 Canadian Record for Nicolas Bennett (S14) in the men’s 200m freestyle para final for a total of 997 points! For some context, a WR is 1000! 

I’ll be watching all finals sessions, so every highlight swim at the Canadian Open I’ll be doing live updates for
