Still a nice result though. most of these finalists have their PB around 21" too manaudou got the silver only in rio 50m for 21",41 , and didn't qualify for the 100m he is not strong anymore Edited May 31, 2017 by bestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is huge favorite in 50,100 and 200. Nyls Korstanje is also big talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be one of the very few users here who are interested in swimming outside of world championships/olympics, so you might have a use for it: https://www.usaswimming.org/Home/times/data-hub (Here you can find world rankings by age/date of birth) For example Steenbergen is currently 5th in the 50 free world rankings of all girls born in 2000 or later (0.03 behind Anderson), 3rd in the 100 free (only behind Ikee and Oleksiak) and 5th in the 200 free (behind Ikee and 3 chinese girls, but Ruck and Oleksiak should also be able to go faster). BTW: Have a look at the womens 100 free world rankings for girls born in 2000 or later ... the depth of the canadian girls is crazy (53.84 Oleksiak, 54.62 Sanchez, 54.97 Smith, 55.03 Ruck), if they all compete at the junior world championships, then they should absolutely destroy the junior world record in the 400 free relay and i think only Canada might be able to challenge Australia in 2020. I probably agree about Anderson beating her in the 100 free, but the 50 free might be a different story and Gose improved her PB to 1:59.12 this year without even having tapered, so you would expect that she is able to go a lot faster at the german nationals next week, hopefully at least sub 1:58 (which would be a great time for a 14 year old). Last year she dropped 1.6s at the german nationals. dareza 1 Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

OlympicsFan 782 Posted June 11, 2017 #40 Share Posted June 11, 2017 German 200/400 free "star" Florian Vogel announced his retirement on Friday, at the age of 22 ... Sadly i have to say that you have to be pretty crazy to train multiple hours a day as a german swimmer, because you will have a clear disadvantage in your career later on and you basically don't earn anything, so this is probably a smart decision, but a huge blow for german swimming, considering that he was by far the best german 200/400 free swimmer. Now the situation in men's 200/400 free seems to be pretty hopeless without Vogel and Biedermann.
