Qin Haiyang qualifies for the 200 breast semis in 15th place.
Bro left his supplements at the village 💀
ZSC giving me a heart attack before the last 25m as always
Lani Pallister withdraws from 1500m due to covid 🦠
ExpandBut then that means you’re pretty much calling everyone here an ordinary viewer?
Well maybe 
Im just trying to make a distinction from the strange people on Swimswam who only seem to care about times.
The vast majority of people watching these races won’t be thinking ‘what’s with these slow times’
Most ‘ordinary’ people will only be watching the swimming when the Olympics is on. That’s who I meant

ExpandThis is night three and not once have I cared about the times
It's great, really. Like any sport, it should be about the fights, not about the never-ending breaking of records.
I feel like only real swim nerds actually care about the times.
Ordinary viewers are just happy to see a good race
These are some insane races
people on swimswam meanwhile taking away from the hype by constantly raving about the slow times 
Damn that last 25m from Murphy was rough as

Sam Short misses the final
His injury or illness that he’s had over the past few months has obviously completely screwed him over. Massive shame
Qin 7th
Wow
Crazy result
Congrats Italy!
Those times from Woodward and Cooper 😂😂😂

Dream day needed gold in the men's 400 but still an awesome day! I'm just a bit bummed about the times.
True but I think there’s cause for optimism in other events now that we didn’t have pre night one, such as men’s 100 (chalmers at trials was a fluke), Titmus maybe challenging in 800, and ZSC maybe being able to challenge if Qin is in poor form.
The main thing that has gone worse for us is the medley relay because of Williamson
ExpandSad to see that China didn’t refuse to stand on the same podium as notorious cheater Shayna Jack.
At least she served her punishment. The Chinese accused haven’t

In the end there’s basically 2 reasons why the Australia couldn’t top the swimming medal tally.
Firstly being the complete disappearance of Sam short which was such a shame as if he was in good form he would’ve been able to contend in the 400 and 800. Once I saw hafnaoui pull out I thought he would cakewalk both events if he competed like how he did in Fukuoka. He was critical to our chances and it’s a missed opportunity but I’m sure he will be back in LA.
Secondly, the insane performance of Emma Mckeon in Tokyo which was gonna be insanely hard for any other Australian to replicate. She was just crazy in Tokyo winning the 100 and 50 frees and largely instrumental in the medley relay upset. Unfortunately MOC couldn’t follow her footsteps in the 100free, and Sarah Sjoestrom was just unbeatable this time around. In the end, we have 2 less golds than Tokyo and all of those 3 events I’ve mentioned that she won in Tokyo we couldn’t win this time.
One thing for sure is the US don’t dominate strongly like they used to.
