heywoodu 13,504 Posted April 7, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 7, 2017 James Magnussen isn't going to the world champs in July 2017 because he will focus on the Commonwealth Games in April 2018 This is such an annoying thing in swimming, athletes/coaches acting like peaking twice in one calendar year is insanely impossible.

Have you tried peaking twice a year yourself? #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't, but athletes in a lot of sports have and succesfully did so (like countries that have Olympic trials 2-3 months or less before the Olympics). If the Commonwealth Games were in September or October 2017, ok, I get it. But come on, get real. Not going to WCh in July 2017 because of an event in April 2018 is too much.

Federer91 2,114 Posted April 7, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Does he even have to peak for the CW Games. It's not like there is that much competition there. Also there are 8 months between those events... It's absurd to imagine that he can't be ready for both to swim a few lanes. For me it seems an excuse, when Chalmers whips his ass before the Worlds.

I don't buy that) Edited April 7, 2017 by heywoodu If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe he wants to have a life outside of swimming. After all, that is only James Magnussen, not really the top swimmer at the moment. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
