COLUMBUS, Ohio – At Canadian Olympic Trials on Tuesday, Ohio State sophomore swimmer Tristan Jankovics officially secured his place on Team Canada for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Jankovics turned in an Olympic qualifying time of 4:11.74 in the 400 IM to earn his spot and win the event. It is his personal best time. He shaved four seconds off his prelims time of 4:15.68, which was the morning's top 400 IM time.
This will be Jankovics' first career appearance at the Olympics. He is the third Buckeye to qualify so far; Tomas Navikonis (Lithuania) and Lena Hentschel (Germany) both secured spots on their countries' teams at the World Championships on Doha, Qatar earlier this year.
Canadian Trials continue Wednesday, May 15 through Sunday, May 19 in Toronto, Ontario.
