Yuri Kisil<\/strong> is in position to make his second Olympics after earning an A cut in the 100 freestyle at Canadian Trials Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

Kisil was first in the event with a time of 48.43 seconds. That trims .46 off his seed time to get under the A standard of 48.57. He\u2019s the second Canadian swimmer with an A cut in the event.<\/p>\n

The 100 free unfolded in interesting fashion on day 4 of the Trials. The two sprinters who had taken the headlines earlier in the meet faltered but still made finals. Joshua Liendo,<\/strong> who qualified in the 50 free and 100 butterfly, was third in 49.24. Eighth in prelims is 50 free champ Brent Hayden<\/strong> in 50.09. That\u2019s well off his best time of 48.47, which is an A cut.<\/p>\n

Hayden later took to Twitter to say he is scratching out of finals in the 100 free due to back pain.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the right decisions are the ones that hurt the most. Thank you everyone for all the love you have sent me over the last 24 hours. I am sorry I can’t give you one more swim tonight. pic.twitter.com\/cxDplnh7kT<\/a><\/p>\n
