The COVID-19 pandemic has forced another postponement of the Canada Olympic and Paralympic Trials to June 19-23, Swimming Canada announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Trials will still be held at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Center, but the governing body is also exploring options to host Trials at another North American location should COVID-19 conditions remain dangerous in Ontario. The dates would remain the same, and Swimming Canada is pledging to make any changes by the end of May.<\/p>\n

Canadian Olympics and Paralympic Trials were originally scheduled for April,\u00a0then postponed to May 24-28<\/a>. Now, a surge in Canadian COVID-19 cases and a sluggish vaccine rollout is forcing a further delay. The decision was reached in an emergency board meeting Monday and announced to athletes Wednesday on a conference call. Swimming Canada last week\u00a0expressed optimism that it wouldn\u2019t have to change Trials<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Paralympic Trials are cancelled, and Swimming Canada will \u201ccreate alternative competitive opportunities.\u201d The dates of Canadian Olympic Trials conflict with a global event in Berlin.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn light of the state of emergency and stay-at-home order in Ontario, as well as travel restrictions in and out of other provinces, Swimming Canada\u2019s board of directors, in consultation with management, has determined that the May dates for Trials are no longer viable,\u201d Swimming Canada President\u00a0Cheryl Gibson<\/strong>\u00a0said\u00a0in a press release<\/a>. \u201cWe have therefore asked management to explore plans to hold the Trials in June.\u201d<\/p>\n

#2: British Swimming Selects Olympic Team<\/h3>\n

Team GB<\/strong>\u00a0has announced a squad of 28 swimmers as they seek to emulate their six-strong medal haul from\u00a0Rio 2016<\/strong>\u00a0at the Olympics in Tokyo in July.<\/p>\n

Adam Peaty, Duncan Scott, Luke Greenbank<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0James Wilby<\/strong>\u00a0had all been pre-selected to\u00a0Team GB<\/strong>\u00a0after winning individual medals at the\u00a02019 World Championships<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0Gwangju<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A further 24 were added following the recent trials in London meaning that 70 athletes across all sports have been selected to Team GB.<\/p>\n

At 30 Commonwealth 200 fly champion\u00a0Alys Thomas<\/strong>\u00a0is the oldest with 16-year-old\u00a0Jacob Whittle<\/strong>\u00a0the youngest member of the team.<\/p>\n

Brazilian Swimming named 27 members to the Tokyo Olympics this summer in Japan with 18 swimmers slated for individual events.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a strong selection.\u00a0That was our intention from the beginning.\u00a0Having the best selection and not necessarily the largest selection.\u00a0We are confident that this team can do well at the Tokyo Olympics,\u201d said CBDA vice president\u00a0Renato Cordani<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Bruno Fratus, Marcelo Chierighini\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Leonardo de Deus\u00a0<\/strong>are making their third Olympic appearances while\u00a0Felipe Lima<\/strong>,\u00a0Etiene Medeiros<\/strong>,\u00a0Luiz Altamir\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Larissa Oliveira\u00a0<\/strong>will make their second trip to the Games.<\/p>\n

As the Chinese Olympic Trials started on Friday, the controversial\u00a0Sun Yang<\/strong>\u00a0was missing from action, his status for this summer\u2019s\u00a0Olympic Games in Tokyo<\/a>\u00a0still in limbo. Yet, the Chinese Swimming Federation has instituted a measure that will enable Sun to race at the Olympics if he is deemed eligible following his upcoming retrial with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on a doping violation.<\/p>\n

The Chinese Federation announced that any athletes who captured titles at the 2019 World Championships would receive automatic qualification for the Tokyo Games. That ruling affects only Sun, who claimed world titles in the 200 freestyle and 400 freestyle, and\u00a0Xu<\/strong>\u00a0Jiayu<\/strong>, who was the world champion in the 100 backstroke.<\/p>\n

In February 2020, Sun was handed an eight-year ban by the CAS due to what unfolded during an out-of-competition doping test in September 2018. During the visit by doping testers, Sun and his entourage refused requests of the officials and, at one point, a member of Sun\u2019s team destroyed a vial containing Sun\u2019s blood.<\/p>\n

The Week That Was #5: Arno Kamminga Moves to Second All-Time in 100 Breast<\/h3>\n

Arno Kamminga<\/strong>\u00a0is now the second-fastest man over 100m breaststroke in history after he broke through the 58-second barrier in 57.90 at the\u00a0Netherlands Team Time Trials<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0Eindhoven<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The three-time European short-course champion\u00a0had shaved 0.01secs off his Dutch record to go 58.42 on Friday morning<\/a>, also notable because of early finals come Tokyo.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old \u2013 who is coached by\u00a0Mark Faber<\/strong>\u00a0at the\u00a0National Training Centre Amsterdam<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 returned in the evening to take 0.52secs off that time.<\/p>\n

Splits: 26.99\/30.91<\/p>\n

With that he became the first swimmer after\u00a0Adam Peaty<\/strong>\u00a0to go 57, six years after the Briton first went 57.92 in April 2015.<\/p>\n

An elated Kamminga told Swimming World:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am still over the moon that I was able to swim it here, on a training meet, while the rest for the Euros (European Championships) starts on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew I had it in me for a while but just couldn\u2019t put it together until now.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a couple of races before today where I thought I could break that barrier but I got stuck with a 58 or 59.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I\u2019m really happy that the stroke is finally coming together nicely.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
