With the ninth ranked swimmers for both events in 2006, this should be rectified at Beijing.

Qualification

The A and B qualification times are shown in the table above for the specific events. All three featured swimmers have reached the 'A' standard.

What to watch

The individual medley events are not one of those that are on our Medal Chance list, so whether we get to see these swimmers will depend on whether the races occur on the same night as one of the events that we have targeted. This may, of course, change dependant on results at the World Championships in March.
