A performance like the women\u2019s team, which garnered six medals from the Tokyo Olympics, would be beyond any reasonable expectation.<\/p>\n<p>But after the Rio Games yielded no medals and the two only top-10 performances from swimmers no longer representing Canada \u2013 through retirement or nationality swap \u2013 progress in restocking talent was the aspiration.<\/p>\n<p>On that front, the Canadian men delivered in Tokyo. There\u2019s no hardware coming back, but they got closer than anyone would\u2019ve expected to a medal. And a young team showed that it has the potential to continue building for the next three years toward something more meaningful in Paris.<\/p>\n<p>Earning finals swims for two relays in Tokyo is a success, with the men\u2019s 400 freestyle relay landing six-tenths off the podium in fourth. While 37-year-old <strong>Brent Hayden<\/strong> had the only top-10 result of the individuals, seven swims cracked the top 20, including hopes for the future like <strong>Josh Liendo<\/strong> and <strong>Finlay Knox.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Liendo was particularly impressive. The 20-year-old earned second swims in the 100 free, finishing 14th, and the 100 butterfly, where he was 11th. He just missed the semis in the 50 free with an 18th-place result.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s definitely great,\u201d Liendo said. \u201cEven just being able to go to the ready room with them (the veterans), people who\u2019ve been there before, they know the process and they\u2019re helping me out. By the time it\u2019s for me to race, I already have two swims with them under my belt so I\u2019m ready to race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hayden got into the semis in the 50 as well, tying for ninth in 21.82. Somewhat amazingly, for a swimmer who was retired for seven years, Hayden was just a tenth off his national record from the 2009 super-suit World Championships.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yuri Kisil<\/strong> also swam well, earning a semis swim in the 100 free to finish 15th. <strong>Markus Thormeyer<\/strong> didn\u2019t make it back in the 100 backstroke, settling for 19th, but be finished 16th in the semis of the 200 back. <strong>Finlay Knox<\/strong> was 17th in the 200 IM.<\/p>\n<p>The 400 free relay in particular is evidence of progress. As Hayden said afterward, few expected the Canadians to make the final much less contend for a medal. But Hayden, Liendo, Kisil and Thormeyer did just that, setting a Canadian record of 3:10.82. That makes three Canadian records on the men\u2019s side (Knox in the 200 IM and Liendo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/joshua-liendo-kicks-off-canadian-olympic-trials-with-national-record-in-100-fly\/\">in the 100 fly from Trials<\/a>) in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt feels good to be back, that\u2019s for sure,\u201d Hayden said. \u201cDefinitely missed the thrill of the competition. It was a huge honor going out there and leading these guys in this relay. I don\u2019t think anyone was expecting us to be in that final. No one was expecting us to be in the hunt for a medal, but we showed that Canada means business here. We\u2019ve got a great group of guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian men also finished seventh in the men\u2019s medley relay via Thormeyer, <strong>Gabe Mastromatteo,<\/strong> Liendo and Kisil. (The men\u2019s medley relay was 10th and the 400 free 13th at Worlds in 2019.)<\/p>\n<p>Brent Hayden is a fitting window through which to view Canada\u2019s resurgence. He isn\u2019t measuring the value <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/for-brent-hayden-comeback-is-about-falling-in-love-with-swimming-again\/\">of his comeback in medals<\/a>. To do so would elide so much more accomplished behind the scenes. (Hayden, for instance, loves to tell people that Liendo was born after Hayden made his first national team; he added to that genre <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsp.ro\/sporturi\/jocurile-olimpice\/brent-hayden-david-popovici-inot-638244.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">by having Romanian sprinter<\/a> <strong>David Popovici,<\/strong> born after Hayden\u2019s first Olympics in Athens 2004, introducing himself to \u201cMr. Hayden,\u201d his idol growing up.)<\/p>\n<p>But by pushing himself to be at the international level, Hayden was also driving forward a program that has struggled since he and <strong>Ryan Cochrane<\/strong> medaled at the 2012 London Games. Tokyo offered progress on that quest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis means that I made the right decision to come back,\u201d he said. \u201cAfter being out of the sport for seven years, less than two years of training and I throw down a sub-48 100 meter freestyle. I\u2019m not swimming it individually so I\u2019m counting that as my time at the Olympics. I don\u2019t regret my decision in London; I think at the time it was right. But I\u2019m really thankful that I had the support from the people around me to come back to the sport and fall in love with it all over again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s great when we set our goals high,\u201d Liendo said. \u201cWe try to push and see how far we can go. It\u2019s great that we\u2019re setting goals high. Sometimes we miss them and we learn from it; sometimes we make it and that\u2019s great.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Brent Hayden Leading, Youthful Canadian Men\u2019s Program Shows Promise in Tokyo The hope for the Canadian men\u2019s program before its Trials in late June was to see progress.
