Great chance for Olympic qualification now What makes you think that? France and Hungary are safe and South Korea/Netherlands/Canada could all be faster. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t say it was certain They may go faster but if the Netherlands wanted to try for it, they’d probably have entered a team here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If 2 countries currently outside the top 15 in the world don't beat 7:12:00 then Ireland will send it's first swimming relay team to the Olympics since 1972 Is the cut off date 31st May still? Canada and Korea the dangers but I’d be surprised to see two countries pass us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They concentrated on the 4x100 free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are Canadian trials and time trials later this month so the Canadians may be giving it a shot. dodge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s impressively consistent. Will always have a job in Vegas once the sporting career is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge 698 Posted May 20, 2021 #139 Share Posted May 20, 2021 In the upcoming mixed 4x100m medley relay, the European countries who are qualified are The 4 nations occupying the rankings are 3:38:41 3:44:75 3:47:92 3:48:61 Only Brazil looks possibly in danger there but even then I think nearly every country will have to swim a NR to qualify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine that no other non-qualifiers can do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
