British Olympic Trials - Day 1 and 2 results

For more detailed information and discussion on British and European swimming, I urge you to follow http://speedendurance.blogspot.com/ or on twitter @speed_endurance

Top two swimmers qualify for the Olympic team, as long as their times are top 16 in the world so far.

400m IM - women

Hannah Miley: 4:32.67 (#1 in the World in 2012)

Aimee Willmott: 4:37.48 (#4 in the World in 2012)

400m IM - men

Roberto Pavoni: 4:12.43 (fast!) (#1 in the World in 2012)

Joseph Roebuck: 4:14.48 (#3 in the World in 2012)

400m free - men

Robert Renwick: 3:46.73 (#5 in the World in 2012)

David Carry: 3:48.36 (#8 in the World in 2012) - don't think he went fast enough to qualify for the team*

**Carry didn't qualify because his time was not faster than the 16th fastest time in the world in 2011, which was a 3:47.58.

100m fly - women

Ellen Gandy: 57.25 (#2 in the World in 2012)

British Olympic Trials start today

I'm so excited for the Olympics, only 5 months away. The British Olympic trials start today.

Results can be found here: http://www.swimmingresults.org.uk/swimming/results/2012/bstrials12/index.php

The meet is being held in the Olympic pool, which is awesome. Qualifying for the British Olympic Team is a bit different from the U.S. According to the article linked below, not only does a swimmer have to finish 1st or 2nd at the meet, but he/she also has to have a time that is top 16 in the world. If a swimmer finishes in the top 2 but the time isn't fast enough, there will be another opportunity to qualify at a later meet.

The meet is open to foreign swimmers who want to check out the Olympic pool. I will try to post results.
