Taylor Ruck did not, but I'll wait till the final before passing too much judgement. Yea Ruck does not look good at all (in terms of performance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see a Canadian record from Santo Condorelli being broken. Gotta say, after watching every final sessions from the US and Australian Olympic swimming trials, the Canadian trials seem like an extremely amateur production in comparison. Not surprising (the only Canadian Olympic trials that are an impressive TV production are the ones for curling) but still. I guess I should be happy there is a decent live stream at all.

NearPup 2,156 Posted June 19, 2021 #993 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Masse dropped a 57.70s at trials, 0.4s faster than her previous Canadian record. Second best time this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember this happened right before Rio too, she struggled at the trials but still made the teams in the relays, where she had solid performances. Lets hope she can pick it up. Without here, there is 0 chance of a pushing the Americans/Australians in the 4x100. ---- In other news, Georgia Ellenwood is competing at a hep, in Germany, so far about the same results in Gotzis She needs the standard to qualify, otherwise she is out, I doubt she can squeeze in another hep. before the deadline.

intoronto 4,202 Posted June 20, 2021 #996 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Well I spoke too soon re Georgia Ellenwood This will give her a total of 1194 points, putting her into 20th in the world rankings!! Surlympics and james89 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james89 438 Posted June 20, 2021 #997 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Day 2 of swim trials certainly not as exciting as Day 1. Was hoping to get 1 in the W 100m Breastroke and one in the M 100m Breastroke under the A standard. It does look like Oleksiak is holding back. Really thought Sanchez would be in the top 4 too, happy for Savard though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanchez should qualify in the 50 Gabe has won medals at the world juniors, but doesn't seem like he is taking the next step sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect Sanchez to qualify in the top 4 for the 100 too. That way Titley has options for the 4x100m and 4x200m relays depending on if her and Ruck are swimming better when the time comes.

james89 438 Posted June 20, 2021 #1000 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Not sure if it was there before but it looks like a mixed 4x400m relay showed up on the Canadian Athletics Trials schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
