Canadian swimmer Penny Oleksiak’s bid to qualify for an individual event at her third Olympics has fallen just short.Canadian swimmer Penny Oleksiak's bid to qualify for an individual event at her third Olympics has fallen just short.
In the B Final, Oleksiak was first to touch the wall at the 50m turn in a time of 25.94, and ultimately finished in 53.77, which won the race but wasn't quite enough to get her under the time needed. She shot to superstardom at those Olympics as a 16-year-old, winning four medals. Five years later at the Tokyo Games she won three more medals, making her the most decorated Canadian Olympian with seven total medals.At the Canadian trials in May, Oleksiak won the 100 free event in a time of 53.66. While the victory secured a spot on the relay team, Oleksiak was visibly disappointed. She was just .05 off the qualifying standard.
This past fall, Oleksiak took her training south of the border, opting to train in California with the hope of returning to form ahead of trials and the Olympics.At the Canadian Open in the middle of April, Oleksiak went 54.43 in the 100 free. It was her first competition in Canada in nearly two years.
