Day 5 Prelims Heat Sheet
A pair of swimmers who have already placed top two this week have whittled down their schedules even further. Runner-up in the 400 IM and the defending Tokyo silver medalist in the 400 IM, Emma Weyant, has opted to not swim the 200 breaststroke this morning. The Florida Gator was entered in five events the meet, but only contested the 400 free placing 11th and the aforementioned IM.
Carson Foster was named to his first Olympic Team in the 400 IM on night 2. Foster was entered in the meet in seven events: the 400 free, the 200 free, the 400 IM, the 200 butterfly, the 100 free, the 200 back, and the 200 IM.
Foster no showed both the 400 and 200 frees, swam the 400 IM, and repeated the no-shows in the 200 fly and 100 free. Swimswam posted an article highlighting this fact, several tweets, and an op-ed disparaging the practice, unless necessary, but we cannot draw any specific conclusions about whether or not Foster had intended to no-show the event or had planned on scratching all along.
Jack Dahlgren has scratched out of the 200 backstroke this morning. After advancing to the semifinals of the 200 fly yesterday, Dahlgren no-showed the 100 free. Last night, he finished 5th in the semifinals of the 200 fly and will swim in the finals tonight.
