2024 U.S. Olympic Selection
Day seven of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials will begin with a short qualifying session for just three individual events, just like yesterday. The morning will start with the men's 100m butterfly, followed by the women's 200m individual medley and 800m freestyle.
Men's 100m butterfly Dare Rose Although he missed out on a spot on the national team in the 200m butterfly, this will be his final chance to make the Olympic team. Shane CasasLast night's performance in the 200m individual medley put him in good position to make the team, but he may have another chance this morning in the 100m butterfly as the No. 2 seed, hoping to add another event to his already confirmed ticket. Caleb Dressel and Thomas HeilmannDressel, the current AR holder, and Heilman, one of last summer's breakout swimmers, should be formidable competition for the aforementioned pair.
Women's 200m individual medley Alex WalshThis is his final chance to make the Olympic team. The Tokyo 2021 silver medallist finished third in the 200m breaststroke last night. Kate Douglas and Lily KingWalsh and Douglas, who also won medals in this event in Tokyo, are the favorites to win, but Tori Huske, who is improving rapidly in breaststroke, and 2022 World Championship medalist Leah Hayes A candidate who will upset both of them.
The last event of the day Katie Ledecky She will compete as the top seed. Ledecky is good at freestyle, especially distance freestyle, so we can expect her to swim strongly in the morning. Katie Grimeschose not to swim this event in order to compete in the 200m backstroke final. Therefore, the only competitors for second place are Gillian Cox and Claire Weinstein.
