Good morning, swimming fans. It's the final day of the 2024 Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Games. The six days went by in a blink of an eye, but today is the last chance for the players to write their names on the boarding pass to Paris. With the retirement of Concorde jets and the lack of a “tunnel” to travel through, athletes will have to make do with the normal seven-hour, 25-minute flight time from Toronto to Paris, but I think it's worth it to go to the Olympics and Paralympics. That's how long.
Our program begins and ends with para-events. Sebastian Massabi Swimming double duty in both the 50m free and 200m free. We will be sticking with the theme of speed as we head into the women's 50 free, which will feature top seeds. taylor ruck She earned a spot in the 4×100 free relay and aims to compete in her first individual event.both Catherine Savard and rebecca smith I have scratched this event as detailed here
The men's 100m fly will follow, and there is no doubt that it will be a tough battle for the national record holder. josh liend We've had a great week so far and are top seed by almost 1 second. Ilya Khan. Both men have already been included in his OQT, but they cannot rest on their laurels if they want to add this event to their programs.
One of my personal favorite events to swim and watch concludes the Open Program. The 200IM is shaping up to be a great race. At the forefront of the attack are summer mackintoshDespite being one of the best athletes in the world, she has never won a medal in this event at a world championship (to be fair, she has never competed in a world championship either). chasing her is Mary-Sophie HarveyWe host a lights out competition and were a finalist for this event in 2022. sidney pickrem, a two-time medalist in this event.add ashley mcmillan, who reached the finals at the 2024 World Championships, has four players under OQT, making this perhaps the deepest event on the women's side. We're talking about saving the best for last.

Finley-Knox, who just set a national record in the 200 IM last night, looked strong this morning in the first round of the Circle Seed Heats, hitting the wall in 52.62 seconds and taking the top time, but that didn't last long. ASU's Ilya Khan scored a fast 51.66 points in the next heat. Khan, who entered with a time of 51.22, was under 0.01 seconds at this morning's OQT and is in a good position to drop further this evening and add a second event.
1 in 100 is a small margin, but it's still a good margin. josh liend To break my own Japanese record. Last night she set a new 50 second record, and she's doing well this week, matching or beating her personal best in every swim. Her 23.68 seconds was nearly a second faster than Knox (24.49 seconds) and Kern (24.52 seconds), and her first 50 second re-end was less than half a second faster than Knox's national 50 record (23.25 seconds). Near at hand. She finished in 26.65 seconds and won in 50.33 seconds. As far as she noticed visually, the reend took a little longer to turn, so she could drop even more time tonight and maybe even break her vaunted 50:00 barrier. His swimming propelled him into the world rankings and into medal contention.

Although it was heat 5, the last of the circle seeded heats, the top time went to Laila Higgo. Higgo, from the University of Michigan, used her strong front half to post a time of 2:20.85 from lane one. Higgo dropped almost a second off her seed time of 2:21.59.
Mary-Sophie Harvey It's been the same all week for her, which is great. Harvey, who qualified for Paris in the 100 fly, 200 free and 4×100 free relay, used a strong back half to hold off Daniel Hanas, Julie Bourseau and Brooklyn Dasright to win in 2:11.32. . Under OQT this morning.
sidney pickrem At the 150 point, she was ahead of Harvey's pace, hitting the wall after the breaststroke with a time of 1:40.51, giving her a 0.22 lead. Unlike Harvey, Pickrem slowed down significantly in freestyle, hitting the wall more than two seconds behind Harvey with a time of 2:13.70. Ella Jansen had a tough week and was more than two seconds behind in the 150, but she quickly picked up her momentum and hit the wall in 2:14.12, cutting the gap to less than half a second. .
The benefits of swimming in the final heat of qualifying this morning were on full display as Canadian record holder McIntosh smoothly cruised to victory in his heat with a time of 2:11.61. Although he won't be able to overtake Harvey's top time, we expect McIntosh to be much faster tonight. McIntosh had a better time than Harvey in the 150s (1:39.99 to 1:40.73), but had a shutout in the freestyle, returning home with a time of 31.62 seconds. Ashley McMillan, who last competed in this event at the Doha World Championships, was just under two seconds behind McIntosh, hitting the wall in 2:13.40.
Harvey was the only one under his 2:11.47 OQT, but all of the top four originally entered with times below that, so we expect all four and the A final overall to be even faster.
