The Olympic Games B Standard qualifying time for the 100m butterfly event is 1:01.43.
Mutsauki also gave a thumbs-up to sprinter Young Talkmore Nyongani whom he said was the outstanding Zimbabwean athlete in the track events in Algiers.
In Algiers, Nyongani won a silver medal in the 400m event and also helped the 4x400m relay team to pick a bronze medal.
Nyongani, however, outshone fellow sprinter Brian Dzingai who only managed to pick up a bronze medal after helping the men''s 4x100m relay team to finish third in the final.
Mutsauki was also confident that female long-distance runner Tabitha Tsatsa would do well in the marathon event at the Beijing Games despite finishing seventh in the half-marathon at the Algiers Games.
Tsatsa and another Olympic Games-bound marathon runner, Mike Fokorani, will also represent Zimbabwe in the women and men''s marathon events at the World Championships in Japan.
