I watched a 30 minute clip of the events held yesterday. No LZR there, no worlds records, a couple of Canadian records. It is good to see a few records broken without LZRs.

The Olympic A and B standards are listed at:

This year the selection criteria is that the first place swimmer is on the team if they make the B standard, the second place swimmer makes the team if they make the A standard. Mike Brown got the 2nd spot in the 100 Br by 0.01s!
Below the list of events and above the three pictures there is a box with tabs:

Why did Swimming Canada have to go and renumber the lanes from 1 to 10 and have swimmers using lanes 2 to 9 with the fastest swimmer (in what my eyes tell me is/should be lane 4) in lane number 5 ???????
Those jokers have nothing better to do (in between cashing paychecks) than this?
I tried to watch the web cast I could not get it to work this afternoon. The morning was fine.
