Ensar Hajder has achieved the OST in 200m individual medley about a month ago, but I don't know of ...

That sounds more reasonable, OQT are set very high, i would be surprised to see someone out of traditionaly strong swimming countries to achive it.

Yeah whoever put that OQT is wrong.

Germany and Canada have not officially qualified for the 4X100 m medley relay for Women. Both were DQ'd in the final of the WC maybe that's why?

Our swimmer that was to fight in a month time for OG minimum time - Mateusz Matczak - is in the coma after being beaten and lost on the pavement. He is fighting for his life, i hope he will win this battle!!!

Yes, that's the rule...top 12 of the World Champs qualify...but teams DSQ (also in the Final) don't get any placement, so they're not qualified yet...but I don't have any doubt they'll get their place at the end of the qualification period..there's no way they'll be out of the top 4 among the not yet qualified teams by the D-Day...

They named the team, but their start is "pending FINA ratification"...the 4 qualified teams will be (automatically) named at the end of the Qual. Per. (early July)...they have to be one of the best 4 times among the not yet qualified relays...it's fair to think that they'll be through by that day, but they have to wait for the official confirmation...

well it seems that his friends and relatives started to look for him after he didn`t came back home. From the short raport we know that they`ve found him unconcious with severe head injuries. He was immediately taken to hospital but nothing is known what happened and who did it. I hope that city monitoring will help to find those bandits. It`s a second time in a month that Polish sportsman is attacked and beaten. Member of our rowing 8 is ok now but probably will miss the olympics. Sth wrong is happening with young people in Poland

Doctors and police can`t also exclude that he just fell...being totally drunk. Families sometimes have their own versions...Hard to say, the most important is if he will make it. Hmm, this "drunk'  version is possible, in 2006-2007 he was probably 1 of the most promising swimmers in Europe but he wasn`t able to progress any furhter in seniors. I hope he`ll be fine

Fixed the relays, when I made the lists I ignored the finals.  Added Spain's team.  For Egypt I wait until the rankings show that an athlete has the OQT just so I know the event was approved by FINA.
