Kim Pavlin qualifies for London 2012 by winning the 200 backstroke in 2:14.96

Isn't it very early to be announcing an Olympic team?
If this is the selection meet, any word on Loncaric?

Whoop! Great work by Kim!

As far as I understand things, Loncaric has a pretty big rivalry with 1 or 2 other guys going and I think their federation has actually set them a time or something to try achieve to see who they will take....
It was kind of a strange setup when I heard about it, dunno if it's changed.

Hungary actually already named 12 to their Olympic Team. For a lot of these smaller countries, it makes the most sense to just say "if you get the auto cuts, you're on the team." Holding a one-shot trials like the US would serve little purpose other than blowing tapers unnecessarily.

That's going to be huge for her to swim at the Olympics. That experience can only help her college swimming. Guess I didn't realize she was Croatian...
