Penny Oleksiak and Ruslan Gaziev picked up wins in the 100 freestyle on Tuesday night at the Canadian Swimming Trials in Victoria, qualifying them for the 2025 World Championships in Singapore.
Oleksiak had already put herself in a position to be named to the Worlds roster after winning the women’s 50 free in a time under Swimming Canada’s secondary standard (Priority 3), but in the 100 free, she booked the win and got under the ‘A’ cut by two-tenths in 54.05 to get bumped up to Priority 1.
Taylor Ruck and Ingrid Wilm, who had already qualified for the Worlds team, placed 2nd and 4th in the 100 free to add the relay to their schedule, while Brooklyn Douthwright took 3rd to earn a Singapore slot under Priority 2.
In the men’s 100 free, Gaziev won in a time of 48.37, narrowly missing the ‘A’ cut by .03, but since he was under the secondary standard, he’ll be able to swim the event individually in Singapore.
Antoine Sauve was the surprise runner-up in a lifetime best of 48.42, while Josh Liendo settled for 3rd in 48.62, meaning he may not represent Canada in the 100 free individually in Singapore. However, Sauve was not under the ‘A’ cut (48.34) and Liendo has been as fast as 47.55 in the qualifying period, so it’s possible he’ll get an individual entry in the event.
Runner-up Sauve and 4th-place finisher Filip Senc-Samardzic added their names to the roster in the 4×100 free relay, while Liendo had already qualified in the 50 free and 100 fly.

Josh Liendo was fasterthan the A standard over 100 free in Paris. I believe he could swim it, assuming he wants it, right or wrong ?
