OlympicsFan 782 Posted July 23, 2017 #201 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Overall the level in womens 400 free was pretty bad, but its nice to see younger girls performaning at their best here. I think either Li or Titmus will win a medal. Weird to not see girls like Kapas, Carlin, Friis or Ashwood in this. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not even PB's in the start lists, that just sucks. Instead of such usefull marks, they filled the screen this time with a bunch of useless graphics. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! +0.1m, showing someone is 10 centimeters behind, come on, we're not blind (and if we were, those graphics would not be very useful anyway) It's sad to see swimming is so far behind other sports with these kind of things. 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!

phelps 6,781 Posted July 23, 2017 #204 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) Julio Maglione (81) is still the FINA President... with some "magic" in the whole procedure, the elections that took place earlier today also designated Husain Al Musallam as vice-president... to be noticed that Al Musallam is also president of the Asian Olympic Committees Association and involved in many scandals (there's a video where he tried to get money from a potential Chinese sponsor, another procedure in the US where he's charged with attempted corruption of a soccer referee and other major and minor issues always about corruption here and there)... moreover, FINA reinstated Vladimir Salnikov among their Bureau members (Salnikov is deeply involved in the Russian State Doping affair)... what a wonderful and transparent future is ahead of all swimmers and swimming fans throughout the entire world...
