Earlier this week, it was found that Summer McIntosh‘s sponsor might have leaked her events for the 2024 Canadian Trials. That list showed McIntosh opting for the 400 IM over 200 freestyle and the 200 IM over 800 freestyle.
SplashMe has entries for the meet that will take place from May 13-19. This list shows McIntosh in the 200 freestyle and the 100 freestyle, in addition to the other five events her sponsor already listed.
Updated Entries For Trials:
- 400 freestyle
- 200 freestyle
- 100 backstroke
- 400 IM
- 100 freestyle
- 200 butterfly
- 200 IM
McIntosh still looks to avoid the direct conflict between the 800 freestyle and 200 IM as the 800 free has not been added to her list. Both events are back-to-back finals in Paris, with the finals heats listed as ten minutes apart without factoring the duration of the race, on the second to last day of competition in Paris. McIntosh is currently #1 in the world this season in the 800 free.
Although it was originally thought she would avoid the 200 free and 400 IM double, she has added the 200 free to her lineup. The finals of both events in Parisw are an hour and 18 minutes apart from each other with the 400 IM first and the 200 free at the end of the session. She was 3rd in the 200 free at the 2023 World Championships but is the World Record holder in the 400 IM. The addition of the 200 freestyle could also be to swim a time and earn a bid on the team’s 4×200 freestyle relay.
She also added the 100 freestyle to her lineup. She just swam a lifetime best of a 53.90 in the event at the Canadian Open in April. That swim currently ranks #25 in the world and #2 for Canadians only behind Maggie MacNeil who swam a 53.64. The 100 free doesn’t have any direct conflicts with any of her other individual events in Paris but once again this also could be a swim for relay potential.
MacNeil is entered in the 100 freestyle but is not entered in the 100 backstroke which is an event she potentially may have opted to swim. MacNeil’s entries are in the 100 fly and 100 free. MacNeil was under the 1:00 mark in the 100 back earlier this year with a 59.93 which is the #4 Canadian this year. The only Canadians who have been faster are Kylie Maase, Ingrid Wilm, and McIntosh. McIntosh is notably still listed as entered in the event for Trials.
The Psych Sheets have been posted on the Swimming Canada website.
When is the full preview coming for Canadian trials, they are a week away?
I don’t think it was mentioned in the article although perhaps someone else mentioned it in the comments section – none of these 7 events conflict at the Canada Swimming Trials. She is scheduled to swim 1 event per day. Unlike the Olympics there are no semifinals for the 200m and under events. Perhaps her and her team are trying this busy schedule to replicate as much as possible the schedule of the Olympics. The trials are only 7 days as opposed to 9 for the Olympics so she won’t have any rest days at all for the trials. Some of the individual events substituting her likely involvement in at least the 4×1 and 4×2 relays. The 200 IM is… Read more »
oops bad typo…of course it’s Mac Neil on butterfly 🙂
mcintosh gives me the impression that she can swim any event, the women’s 14 individual events, if the Olympic single event a day, I believe she can swim all of them, ha ha ha ha😆😆
Breaststroke is not at all her forte. She’s competent for IM obviously. But she can’t hang with anyone who goes sub-1:09 individually.
I think the point was that if you add the cumulative times of all events she would by far be the favorite and I agree.
I think her event line up is too loaded.
I think she should streamline her event load for the Olympics and swim
The 200 IM
The 400 IM
The 400 freestyle and
The 200 fly.
She,s a top contender in all the above races.
I think she should drop the 200 free and 800 free as she will also be swimming relays
I can only see her winning one gold at Paris. Aussies are just too good.
😆😅😂🤣
Summer will collect at least 3 gold and total 5 individual medals, matching the Legendary Shane Gould.
I don’t think she’ll swim 5 events. 3 gold certainly a possibility though
Probability of winning gold:
400 IM 99%
200 fly 90%
200 IM 75%
400 free 40%
200 free 20%
So 3 golds and a total of 5 medals
Can you get these odds on a sportsbook somewhere? I could retire with ’em.
masterclass in pulling numbers out of your butt
I think definitely 2. Maybe up to 4, including the 200IM and 400FR.
You sound just like the Australian commentators for the 2 fly at the 2008 Olympics. It was a certainty that O’Neill and Thomas were going 1 and 2. How did that end.? Hyman made the commentators look like fools.
Sorry 2000 Olympics
Count the number of downvotes Peter.
Hiding from Goatdecky 😂😂😂 #Scared 😳 #Frightened 😱 #Coward 🐮
Grow up!
She already beat Ledecky. Katie Ledecky is getting old. She’s not frightened. She is wayy better than her.
I will have to agree with you.
Woa woa, have some respect buddy. I’m an American and I think this Canadian girl has the potential to become the goat of female swimming. Don’t be childish, it’s not necessary.
James Dergousoff noticeably missing from the entry list
Retired
That’s surprising to me. Wasn’t he just in Doha? All he had to do was win the 100 BR to be named to the team for at least the MR, right?
