When: Wave I Dates: June 4-7, 2021 Wave II Dates: June 13-20, 2021. Originally published June 9th. With Wave II of the U.S. Olympic Trials set to kick off Sunday, the pre-scratch psych sheets have been released by USA Swimming, giving us our first glimpse into what races athletes are intending to swim. Just a quick reminder on how the Wave I/Wave II qualification works: Only swimmers who had one or more Wave I cuts, but had not achieved a Wave II cut competed in last weekend’s Wave I meet. Any swimmer who has at least one Wave II cut also has the ability to race any event in which they only have the Wave I cut at the Wave II meet. As we scan through the psych sheets for entries that may be of interest to our readers, we will be posting separate article on the site going into detail on specific swimmers’ lineups. , at least as things stand now, has opted for a busy schedule. In addition to the fully expected 50 free, 100 free, and 100 fly, Dressel has also entered in the 200 free, 200 fly, and 200 IM. It was expected that Dressel would enter in, and compete in, the 200 free because it’s a relay event. He’s the 11th seed with a 1:47.31. The 200 fly and 200 IM weren’t nearly as expected for Dressel, although it should be noted that this is just a pre-scratch psych sheet, so it in no way means he will actually race all six of these events. There was speculation as to whether women’s sprint star Simone Manuel would enter in the 200 free. She enters as the 3rd seed with her best of 1:56.09, but she hasn’t raced the event since March of 2020, which is what has caused the speculation around whether she’ll actually race it. Manuel’s coach, , confirmed to SwimSwam that Manuel is entered in the 200 free, and a final decision will be made on whether or not she’ll race it as the event approaches. Without the 200 free, Simone will just be racing the women’s 50 free and 100 free, events in which she holds the American Records. Versatile sprinter Michael Andrew is also entered in a high volume of events. Andrew enters the meet in the 50 free, 100 free, 100 fly, 100 back, 100 breast, and 200 IM. All six of these events run in a prelims/semifinals/finals format, so if he ends up racing them all, he’ll have one of the busiest schedules of anybody over the week. Ryan Lochte is entered in a whopping 6 events as well. The 36-year-old veteran Olympic star is chasing a 5th consecutive Olympic berth. He’s entered the meet in the 200 IM, 400 IM, 100 back, 200 back, 200 free, and the 100 fly. It’s seems very likely Lochte will end up scratching a number of events, in order to focus his energy on making the team. The event where it appears he has the best shot at finishing in the top 2 is the 200 IM, where he is the World Record holder, and the 5th seed for this meet. Sandpipers of Nevada 15-year-old Bella Sims is a rising star to look out for at these Trials. At just 15 years of age, Sims had managed to qualify for this meet in 11 events. Instead of entering in all of them, then scratching, Sims and her coaches have decide to whittle down the focus from the start, only entering her in 5 events. Sims is set to race in the 100 free, 200 free, 800 free, 100 fly, and 200 fly. Other events she was eligible for were the 400 free, 1500 free, 100 back, 200 back, 200 IM, and 400 IM. has not entered in the women’s 200 back, an event where her best time would have had her seeded 9th. Smoliga is right in the thick of it in the 100 back, where she’s the 2nd seed behind only . Instead, Smoliga is set to swim the 50 free, 100 free, and 200 free, in addition to the 100 back. She’s seeded 5th in the 200 free, which is a relay event, so the top six swimmers will make the Olympic team. Smoliga is seeded 11th in the 100 free, also a relay event, and 10th in the 50. Shaine Casas is entered in 7 events, giving him one of the heaviest schedules to start out with, Casas is entered in the 50 free, 100 free, 200 free, 100 back, 200 back, 100 fly, and 200 IM. It’s unlikely Casas races all 7 events, especially given they’re all prelims/semi/finals events. That being said, out of his entries, it seems most likely Casas will end up scratching the 50 free and 200 free, because he’s seeded 67th and 52nd respectively in those events. On the other hand, Casas is 2nd in the 100 back, 3rd in the 200 back, and 8th in the 100 fly and 200 IM. He’s the 17th seed in the 100 free, which is a relay event. Sindustry Paperback – 31 July 2009. As with any anthology, some stories were better than others. I read this on the train, and short stories are easy to pick up and put down for staring-out-the-window time. About 2/3 of these I would read again, the others I would skip. Was there a requirement for this book that every story include a topnotch university - University of Minnesota, University of Toronto, University of Chicago, Harvard? That made it more enjoyable for me, because those are real places to me. Though I haven't known students from those places who were strippers or rent boys, it could happen. I'm glad to have bought this book and passed a few hours reading it. It's a good anthology. Some stories are more gripping than others, but I guess it takes into account the different tastes of readers. It is romantic at its core, so there are quite a lot of cinderfella stories, but I have to say that I felt almost guilty at the end, because some of the stories touched a very gritty reality and I don't want to forget that there are young men who don't have a choice and don't have an out, so I appreciate the story which were a bit less glamorous. That said, here's a short summary of the stories. Reluctant by R. Aile & M. Urban. Gregory is in his mid-forties. After his divorce he's starting a new life and he wants to explore his denied sexuality. Reading Gregory's thoughts was my favorite part and also an interesting premise to a story. Rico is the escort he hires to begins his exploration. I think it became romantic a bit too soon. When it lost its edge of novelty and attraction under which something else is simmering, the story lost its interest. Stripped Bare by S. Blaise. This was one of my favorites and I want to read more by this author. It was the cute and touching story of Luca, a stripper, and Ethan, the guy who hires him for his sister's wedding. I can't really say what's different in this story, you have to find it for yourself, but the chasing was fantastic. I liked the snippets of Ethan's voice, its dryness and jadedness and the way Luca tried to get closer to him. I would really love to know what happens next. Boomerang by R. Cochran. Chance is a waiter who makes some money on the side as a rent boy. Ethan is a childhood friend who reminds Chance of what he couldn't have and why he left his hometown. There wasn't enough tension in my opinion. Fun and Games by L. Black. Super cute and funny story of Patrick, the dorky owner of a company that creates games, and Jack, the escort Patrick's friends hire for his birthday. I'm smiling just typing this. Patrick is impossibly adorable and Jake is awesome. I loved the way he brought the sexy back to Patrick. How Could I Not? by J. Freeman. I liked this, especially the writing, which was beautiful and evocative. Ben is into the trade while he's waiting to find a job that suits his MBA. Joshua is an executive looking for an Indian young man, trying to chase away another man. I liked the pacing, trying to figure out why that other guy was haunting Joshua, but when the details of this obsession was revealed, I was a bit underwhelmed. I had figured out something darker and more dramatic, so the ending didn't really satisfy me. The Frost Affair by S. Skye. Grayson is the kept man and secret lover of Senator Alex Frost. The senator is a widower who thinks he'll never be able to replace his wife and therefore prefers a male lover. I don't know, maybe I'm putting it too simple, but I wasn't convinced. There's little drama, but I liked to read the insecurities of the older man. The Stripper and the Hairdresser by B. Brown. Another very cute story of Scott, the stripper, and Jasper, the hairdresser. They're both adorable klutz. It's a very sweet story. A Muse by Z. Owens. This was weird, and courageous. The author chose a sort of you-point-of-view. It's a bittersweet story, because the rent boy the photographer hires just to take pictures of him knows how to be crude. The story is mesmerizing, maybe a bit too conceptual, but a nice change. It keeps the reader a bit excluded from what's happening, but it's unstoppable and really, it gives one even less control than one is used to. Fin de siecle by S.R. Herberth. This is in a historical setting, in Paris. Teasing. Gabriel is a prostitute who went to Paris to become an artist but didn't succeed. Jean is an artist who wants to give Gabriel some art back. There's lust, but also friendship and desire, all wrapped into one package. I'll repeat myself, teasing. Chat Line by Clare London. I would love this to be turned into a TV show on a split screen. I enjoyed it a lot. We have a sex chat line worker and an accountant. I can't give much away because there are a couple of twists that worked well with a reader's presumption after reading the title. As Beauty Does by J.L. Merrow. I like very much J.L. Merrow's writing and this short story delivered the rawness of her characters, especially those from the working class. Let me tell you the relationship explored is a bit improper, but let's put all considerations of propriety out of this for the sake of the story, which is great. Nathan is a rent boy, but he resorts to that to pay rent and to be able to afford an education, since he has no family to support him. Stephen, Dark, Tall, and Ugly, is one of his regulars. The story is bitter and stinging, but at the end it's redeeming. The Four Seasons by D. Copland. This was a real page turner, but it told quite the drama. It spans a decade and it basically tells the story of the obsession of Michael for Christian, the escort he meets once at the Four Seasons hotel and chases ever after.
