Analysis and Live Results Final Eighth Day

2024 US OLYMPIC TRIALS

RECAP

It is 1.44am on Sunday 23 June and we are awake so as not to miss the eighth night of the finals of the US Olympic Trials.

The penultimate night of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials finals is a fast session. But with three finals and the women’s 50m freestyle, there will be no shortage of excitement. Tonight the three finals are the men’s 100 butterfly, the women’s 200 medley and the women’s 800 freestyle. After this evening, there is only one race left for both the men and women, which means we have almost all of the Paris 2024 rosters.
