Day 1 Prelims - FINA Short Course World Championships

If you are able to stay up late tonight, you can obtain live results at http://www.omegatiming.com/livetiming/index.htm. I do not know of a live stream video available in the United States.

The Day 1 prelims start at Midnight CST.

The 200m free is the first event and Ryan is in Heat 10/10, Lane 5.

Here are the swimmers in Heat 10 with lane assignments to the left:

The 4 x 100m free relay is event 9. The U.S. is in Heat 3/3, Lane 4. I do not know if Ryan will swim prelims for this event. He will certainly swim the finals.

Here are the teams and lane assignments in Heat 3:

2 CHN China
3 VEN Venezuela
4 USA United States
5 SWE Sweden
6 KEN Kenya
7 ITA Italy

The finals start at 19:30 (7:30 pm) in Dubai. Because Dubai is GMT+4, the finals will be start tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m. CST.

I'm ready for this meet to start.
