Tokyo 2020 Olympics: No Scratches for Day 1 Prelims (Heat Sheets)

2020 Tokyo Summer Olympic Games

All athletes are present and accounted for in the first session of pool swimming at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. There are five individual events and one relay scheduled for Saturday’s prelims session, which begins at 7:00 PM local time in Tokyo. Not one swimmer has scratched. The lingering question had been whether Sarah Sjostrom would take on the 100 butterfly, but she confirmed her entry on Thursday.

Amazing some of them, us Aussies are so used to getting up all hours of the night to watch sporting events, loving more events in our time zones.

It would work out best for me if prelims don’t start until I get back from morning workout, and finals start just after dinner. Mm’ok? Thanks.
