Welcome my friend. The first final session of the 2024 Aquatics GB Swimming Championships is fast approaching. This is pool swimmers' first chance to cross the Channel and qualify for the Olympics in Paris. There were some fast times in this morning's session, but only one rider's time was below the strict nomination criteria. Just to be clear, the organization has voluntarily set the upper limit on the number of players to participate at 30 and has established its own nomination criteria, so even if you come in first or second place, you are not allowed to join the team. There is no guarantee that you will get in.
However, I can say that I am in a great position within the team. adam peaty. The myth and legend has fallen on hard times since winning the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics as he has been dealing with a number of personal and mental health issues. But this morning he ran a heat of 58.53 seconds, bettering his bronze medal-winning performance at the Doha World Championships (59.10 seconds). Three of his other swimmers recorded times under 1:00 in this event. Gregory Butler (1:00.29) Lead james wilby (1:00.38) and archie goodburn (1 minute 00.44 seconds), but in order for the player expected to finish second to qualify for the race, he needs to break the standard mark of 59.45 seconds.
2021 Olympic athletes will be among the 400 free participants. Kieran Bird He is looking to book a ticket as he sits as the top seed along with his Bath PC teammates luke tarley. Byrd swam a 3:51.54 this morning to qualify, but he will have to drop a lot of weight to get below his standard of 3:45.54.
Stirling University's calm swimming was seen in the women's 200m fly. Kianna Machineness This morning she clocked a 2:08.66.0.7 away from standard, but Scotsman needs to stop him from winning world championship in 2024 laura stevensI swam 2:10.50 this morning, but in February it was 2:07.35
There's more at stake in the women's 200 free relay, where competitors not only fall short of the qualification criteria, but also look for the top four athletes who fall within the voluntary standard of seven for the 4×200 free relay. . 51.89. Leading the way in the absence of Freya Andersson are: abby wood (1:58.49), Lucy Hope (1:58.98), Freya Colbert (1:59.61) and medi harris (1:59.98). In Doha, the quartet swam a time of 7:50.90 to win silver, which they should have done if everyone was in good shape, but they'll be close to that.
This tournament also serves as a qualifying tournament for the Para Olympics, and para events will be interspersed throughout the tournament. These events swim as multiclass. This means that each heat will have different classes swimming together, so finishing order is not as important as time.

Unfortunately, it was not enough, falling just short of the nomination standard of 3. :45.43, and finally hit the wall at 3:45.63. If there's any consolation, Bird's time is a new personal best, he could still join the team if a roster spot becomes available, and there is a clause in the selection policy that allows teams to select at their discretion. . Bird's time ranks him 11th outside of the top 10 in the world.
Turley finished second with a time of 3:48.93, just short of her personal best of 3:48.31, but well ahead of her 3:51.95 at the Fukuoka World Championships.

This morning's preliminaries were setting up this final to be a disaster, and it certainly did not disappoint. 2024 Doha World Champion Laura Stevens didn't hold back this morning, completing her first 100 out in 1:00.17. Stevens appeared to be gaining momentum after the first 100, but top seed Kianna Mathinez closed the gap with a strong run of 1:05.38 in the back 100 (and 32.72 in the final 50). In the end, he won a victory and a ticket to Paris. 2:07.24. Machinness' time not only beats her personal best, but also beats her personal time of 2:08.05, making it a new Scottish record.

Stevens, who led about 199 meters into the race, had to settle for silver with a time of 2:07.37, just 0.13 seconds behind. If it's any consolation, her time was only 0.02 seconds slower than her time in Doha, so it wasn't a bad swim, and like Machinness, she also met Swimming Club GB's self-imposed nomination criteria. I was under 1:07.96, but I think I'll have to do that in the future. Wait until the competition is over to see if her swim can win you a ticket.
Women’s 200 Freestyle – Finals

Facing a strict nomination standard of 1 minute 56.85 seconds, the eight athletes who took part in this competition had a difficult task ahead of them, but it was not impossible as two athletes fell short of the standard. Freya Colbert, who just won the 400 IM World Championship gold medal, took the top spot with a time of 1:56.22, beating out her training partner Abbey Wood's swim time of 1:56.62.
Colbert led from start to finish, flipping the 100 in 56.80 seconds to give Wood a 0.68 point lead, but the 2021 Olympian finished a close second in 29.17 seconds. Wood's time is below the nomination standard, but we will have to wait to see if he has a chance to swim as an individual. However, the combined time of this pair and third and fourth place Mehdi Harris (1:58.10) and Lucy Hope (1:58.81) was 7:49.75, well below the standard of 7:51.89. The relay will swim in Paris, as confirmed on the livestream.
The Parapari final was a thrilling affair with the top three competitors separated by just 0.20 seconds, with S14 athlete Poppy Maskil winning in 2:09.05. Three of her other athletes swam nomination times in her S14, as did Susanna Hoechst in the S5 category. The Paralympics allow three athletes to participate in each medal event, but team size is limited to 32 athletes, of which 20 are allocated to women, so all results must be reviewed before teams are announced. There are no players who have qualified yet, as this needs to be taken into consideration. .
