Adding four doubles would eliminate the roster issue for the women's team.

2024 U.S. Olympic Selection

On the sixth day of the nine-day tournament, the women's team ensured that all eligible athletes could compete, and while the same path is still open for the men, there is no guarantee that it will happen.

woman

Four spots on the Olympic team were up for grabs tonight, and all four went to women who were already qualified or were considered guaranteed spots.

In the former category, Lily King (200 breasts), Regan Smith (200 fly), and Kate Douglas The three swimmers, who won the 200m breaststroke and 200m 1 …

Last week, teenagers Alex Shackell Her sixth place finish in the 200 freestyle qualified her to be part of the 4×200 freestyle relay team if there was space on the roster, and her second place finish behind Smith in the 200 butterfly tonight ensured her a spot on the team.

moreover, Erica Connolly She won the 100m freestyle swim-off and placed sixth to qualify for the team, which will be her second Olympic Games.

And we say that with confidence because currently, 18 women are qualified to compete in one of the four “priority events” on the Olympic team. With a roster limit of 26 athletes per gender, and only four finals remaining (200m backstroke, 200m individual medley, 800m freestyle, and 50m freestyle), even in the extremely unlikely event that all four spots go to women not on the team, that leaves exactly 26 athletes available.

Doubles Explained

When we use the term “double,” we mean that a swimmer qualifies in more than one event and earns two roster spots. If a swimmer qualifies in three events, that will be considered two doubles for the purposes of this article. We will track “doubles” to determine when a swimmer's next priority can be officially added to the team.

Magic numbers:

• Having six doubles, either men's or women's, means that all of the priority number two players (number two ranked players) of that gender can be added.
• Eight doubles for either men or women means that all three priority athletes of that gender (fifth in the 100/200 freestyle) can be added.
• The ten doubles for either men or women means that all four priority athletes of that gender (sixth in the 100/200 freestyle) can add on.

The doubles so far are as follows:

A few notes about charts

• Color coding makes it easy to understand the priorities
• If there is a strikethrough, it means that the athlete qualified with a higher priority.
• Events in bold are events added tonight

As a reminder, here is the selection process for the U.S. Olympic Team: The U.S. is limited to 26 swimmers per gender, plus 12 relay-only swimmers (shared between both teams).

• Priority 1. The first priority is: (i) the top four players and
  Swimmers who can participate will be selected based on their ranking in the qualifying finals.
  (ii) Best Achievement in each of the 100-meter freestyle and 200-meter freestyle competitions; and
  Available swimmers will be determined based on the rankings in the finals
  Qualifying tournaments for all events except the 100m and 200m
  meter freestyle.
  • Restrictions: For available swimmers who are named to a team with priority 1
    100m or 200m freestyle declines to swim the 100m freestyle
    Or the Olympic 200m freestyle event (
    the opportunity given to that Athlete under Article 1.3.9)
    The team was announced on June 23rd.
    If an athlete has been selected in another individual Olympic sport, no additional athletes may be selected.
    This restriction is added to the 100m or 200m freestyle team.
    Does not apply if an available swimmer is removed from a team.
    Section 3.
• Priority 2. The second priority consists of the second best finish.
  Swimmers who can participate will be selected based on their ranking in the qualifying finals.
  Competitions in all events except the 100m and 200m
  Freestyle.
• Priority 3. The third priority consists of the fifth-best finish.
  Swimmers who can participate will be selected based on their ranking in the qualifying finals.
  The events will be held in both the 100m freestyle and 200m freestyle.
• Priority 4. The fourth priority consists of the sixth-best finish.
  Swimmers who can participate will be selected based on their ranking in the qualifying finals.
  100m freestyle and 200m freestyle

Junior Bread Pack

More information on the Junior Panpac roster selection process can be found here Up to 20 swimmers per gender may register.

A recalculation of the members was then required. Alex Shackell and Thomas Heilmann Although they have been selected to the Olympic team, the table below shows the current projected Junior Pan Pacific roster. Due to the 20-athlete limit per gender and the fact that several events remain, it is possible that some athletes in priority levels 5 and 6 may not make the team. As with the Olympic team, if roster limits prevent the selection of all athletes in their priority level, the decision criterion will be a percentage of their Olympic qualifying time.
