23 years old freya anderson Despite stating that his participation in these trials was questionable, he appeared in the heat this morning.
We read on Anderson's social media on March 26th: “Earlier this year, after repeated bouts of illness, I was diagnosed with glandular fever and had to withdraw from training and team camp in Australia.
“This wasn't the start to my Olympic year that I had imagined, but I had to listen to my body and prioritize my health and recovery. Throughout my career, I have found this extremely difficult.”
Although Anderson missed the 200m free race earlier in the tournament, he recorded a time of 55.01 seconds in the 100m and worked his way to the third seed. Anna Hopkin took the top spot with 53.68 points, followed by Eva Okaro At 54.60.

According to Aquatics GB's selection policy, the first place athlete must achieve a time of 53.55 seconds, and the top four women must achieve an overall time of 3:36.40 to qualify for the relay. is needed.
We reported on the status of Aquatics GB High Performance Director. Chris Spice and head coach Bill Furniss Swimmers other than those who meet bona fide standards are free to be selected for the Olympic roster.
Anderson's participation in the 100m free was likely intended to prove his form in order to qualify for the maximum 30-person lineup.
To date, 14 players have finished in first place and earned a QT. Five more athletes qualified for the relay. After that, he had four more athletes come second to him in that event, and still he topped the QT and claimed a possible selection.
This means that with one final session remaining, 23 of the 30 athletes have the best chance of earning an Olympic berth.
