Despite putting up the #3 time this season amongst American women, Kate Douglass has scratched out of the 100 breaststroke. She was seeded 5th on the psych sheets. While swim fans were intrigued to see what she could thrown down, given her prowess in the 200 breaststroke and sprint abilities, our questions will not be answered this meet.
11th-seed Miranda Tucker is also out of the women’s 100 breaststroke.
We’re starting to see some swimmers choose not to swim doubles, such as Baylor Nelson. He scratched his #5 entry in the men’s 400 IM, but is still entered in the 200 free, where he is seeded 8th.
Brandon Miller (28th) and Tommy Hagar (35th) are also out of the 400 IM to focus on a second event, in this case the 100 back.
Ivan Puskovitch scratched the 400 IM (39th) after scratching the 400 free on day 1. He only has the 800 and 1500 free remaining on his schedule.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO KATE DOUGLASS
Carson is gonna no show the 200 Free. But i wonder why he don’t scratch it, the same with 400 yesterday. If you know you’re not gonna Swim, Why don’t scratch it?
He’s playing head games with himself.
Funny. Maybe with the others. So his competitors is walking around and wonders if Carson shows up or not
They don’t care
I could actually see Carson do the double in the morning, then file his “intentions” with the meet ref for the 200 free semi-final swim. Maintain his slot in the semi-final if needed, but if he makes the team in the 400 IM, he could scratch the 200 free semi. The 200 free gives him 6 slots on the team, and he is arguably the best 200 freestyler in the field. There is more room for error in the 200 free, and literally anything can happen in a 400 IM.
I think coaches who don’t scratch swimmers from prelims at this level of meet should be penalized somehow. There shouldn’t be empty lanes at a competition like this, ever.
This is gonna be one heavy session for Foster
Ideally should throw down a 200 free split for the relay and scratch the SF
I don’t think he even needs to do that. He’s been consistent enough on relays the last few years that as long as he’s in form in his other events, he’ll get put on the relay final.
Yes that’s true. His 1:43.9 at Doha merits an auto place on the relay if he’s on form elsewhere
Not only that he did splits 1 44 low ranges both in 2022 and 2023..so he is a definition of ” a reliable relay swimmer “
Not only that so far since 2022 he’s been reliably dropping .5 every time on the relay at big meets. First in 2022 he was 1:45.0 then last year was 1:44.4 then this year in Doha the 1:43.9 if the trend continues he’ll be 1:43 low in Paris
In 6 years he’ll be 1:41 low
There is a chance he just DNS the 200 free. It was the same for his 400 free entry, he did not scratch but just left an empty lane for the heat.
