With a potential lack of “doubles” due to 1) all of the scratching and 2) the big names not qualifying; doesn’t this threaten the ability to go six deep in relay selection? And doesn’t this especially affect the 800 free relay which, by the selection criteria, is picked last?

Bowman can name anyone he wished to the relays. top 6 does not guarantee anything. Don’t be surprised to see phelps in the 400 and 800 free relays.
