Swimming Canada will almost certainly send her and Emily Overholt in that event. Kylie Masse is looking like a real contender again. When did Overholt swim the standard? 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...

Thought it was a gamble (since O‘Croinin and Overholt might have been able to swim the standard), but after seeing how slow the other canadian women were, it was a calculated risk and it payed off.

NearPup 2,156 Posted June 20, 2021 #444 Share Posted June 20, 2021 The world record holder and defending world champion in the 200m backstroke, Reagan Smith, failed to qualify in that event. She was third at the US trials. intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKeown, Dawson, Smith, Masse....and there's no better thing in an olympic year than having a 4 into 3 situation. ATM I'd say it's McKeown, Masse, Dawson .. but I think Dawson might have a lot stlll in the tank, and we know what Smith is capable of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it intentional? I read that she couldn't enter, but I don't know. Seems odd if it was tactical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways I don’t really see the sense of entering someone who can’t even break 4:10. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Overholt will likely focus on the 400 im and 4x200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCB 444 Posted June 20, 2021 #450 Share Posted June 20, 2021 @NearPup @intoronto Given the disappointing results at the American trials on the 100 freestyle (women), is there a chance that Canada will make it difficult for Australia to win the 4x100 freestyle? With Oleksiak and Ruck that should work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
