A Look At Chinese Olympic Qualifiers Through Day 3 Of Nationals

2024 CHINESE NATIONAL SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS

The 2024 Chinese National Swimming Championships saw day 3 conclude tonight from Shenzhen. With the competition spanning a massive 10 days, we’re just getting started with qualifications for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.

Per the Chinese selection policy, results from this competition represent a last-chance Olympic qualification opportunity.

The results will be combined with the 2023 World Championships and 2024 World Championships with performances ranked by times clocked in the final of each meet to determine the fastest swimmer to be added to the official lineup for this summer.

Let’s take a look at the qualified Chinese swimmers at this point taking into account any performances knocked out based on time ranking.

  • Note: times crossed out means a swimmer was faster than the qualifying standard, but was either faster at a prior qualifying meet, or are not in the top two swimmers during the qualifying period.

Your logic is to imply 2 wrongs makes a right.

Instead of resorting to whataboutism, you can still be critical of the China situation.

Let’s focus on the now and the issue relevant to the upcoming Olympics. Trck and field in the 80’s has NOTHING to do with the current WADA failure to report.

Swimming So White seems a bit butt hurt about WADA clearing the Chinese swimmers. Get over it snowflakes!

Does the doping evidence include Chinese men? Pan and the breaststroker?

Pan was not named – he was only 15 at the time. Qin was named

And Sun Yang for the 4×200 relay maybe… 7.01 without Sun Yang. Imagine if he comes back and swims 1.44 high…there is no way that the Chinese won’t take him for the relay…
With the possibility of upsetting the British the Americans and the Australians… they will take him for sure

Now that would be interesting. Would need to prove his form and the Chinese have a bit of depth these days. I think Zhang is the wildcard. All 4 Chinese will need to be on form to win a bronze

Considering previous results I got a feeling that Sun Yang (unfortunately) still has a chance to go the Olympics…because I don’t see two guys dipping under the OQT in the 800 and one more guy in the 1500. So his best shot is qualifying in the end of May with a good time in the 800 if he is in fact training.
Even with this scandal the Chinese will take him if they haven’t two swimmers swimming OQT in the 800 or the 1500.

I got feeling that he is going to go for it…and he will probably be in Paris… adding fuel to doping controversy
