2024 World Aquatics Championships
In the women’s 400-meter medley relay, one of the most competitive and most competitive arenas leading up to the Paris Olympics, there was surprisingly little movement toward Olympic qualification.
Singapore swam 4:02.88 in qualifying for the 2024 World Championships, ranking ninth. Although she couldn’t swim at last year’s world championships, she rose to 15th in the rankings after two championships and qualified for the Olympics.
sister relay of Levenia Sim (1:02.58 – Back), Leticia Sim (1:06.41 – Chest), Kur Jin (58.89 – fly), and Cua Tin (55.00 – free) beat the national record set at last year’s Southeast Asian Games by more than four seconds. 17-year-old Levenia Sim was a big difference maker, beating last year’s leader Faith Koo by nearly two seconds. Her older sister Leticia Sim was responsible for almost a second of that time drop, with Qua Tinh dropping 1.3 seconds.
This group made history as the first Singapore Relay to qualify for the Olympics. Singapore won universal berth in the men’s relay at the 1988 and her 1996 Olympics.
Hong Kong swam in 4:02.34, improving on his 4:04.89 at last year’s world championships for 16th place. The top 16 runners will be able to participate, but if they hadn’t improved their times, they would have been overtaken by Singapore.
South Africa swam 4:03.54 in the qualifying round in Doha, making it their first relay outing despite losing in the qualifying round. Erin Gallagher Having a big encounter. South Africa’s weaknesses in the backstroke and freestyle legs could not be compensated for by the central two legs.breaststroker Lara van Niekerk The split was 1:07.50, slower than her personal time.
Relay selection procedure (overview)
The top three relays will automatically qualify for the 2023 World Championships. His next 13 spots will be chosen from his best times in 2023 and his 2024 World Championship heats and finals combined.
This means that the field is fixed until countries either refuse to make a choice or special measures are taken for Israel.
The Olympics do not automatically assign a host country, and France has already qualified thanks to its time at the 2023 World Championships. Unlike past years, there is no “free-for-all” best time to worry about during the qualifying period, so barring scratches, the field should be set at this point.
