Canadian Swimming Trials, Day 6 Prelims: Tristan Jankovics, Finlay Knox Set 200 IM Battle
Both Finlay Knox and Tristan Jankovics have been in fine form this week at Canadian Olympic Trials.

They’re set to duel in the 200 IM Saturday night.
Jankovics set the top time in prelims at 2:00.56 Saturday morning at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre, with national record holder Knox second in 2:00.80. Both will be pushing for the A cut of 1:57.94.
