Expand1) He could still recover in time.
2) You have more than enough other medal chances:
Miressi (100 free)
Detti (400/800 free)
De Tullio (400 free)
Acerenza (1500 free, if Paltrinieri doesn’t compete)
Martinenghi (100 breast)
Burdisso (200 fly)
Maybe men’s 400 free relay
Maybe Razzetti (400 IM)
Quadarella (800/1500 free)
Pilato/Carraro (100 breast)
Panziera (200 back)
I am sorry but I would strongly disagree with this opinion.... Every athlete is unique and has his/her own story .... It's like when someone from 
said that Dafne Schippers got injured and reply would be: Worry not, you still have dressage team as a medal contestant ......
P.S. no wishing anyone injury, just giving an example...
ExpandYea I didn't notice him either, weird. The announcers kept saying someone lost their headcap, maybe it was him
Yeah, Czech media said the finish board did not notice him hitting it. Czech team open a dispute and it was accepted. 
Matěj Kozubek has been placed back to results to 13th place and earned the Tokyo quota.

ExpandOr they are drilled like crazy from when they are 5 years old or something, which sounds rather plausible given that it's China we're talking about
Yeah, it's China. I live here 3 years so I can confirm. The kids at primary schools even have 2-week military training at school. Those, who are meant to be "professionals" are really drilled since very young age. Parents are OK with that and kids have no choice. But the result is usually great - Olympic and world champions. The base in many sports is huge so the world level athletes can even change from season to season. Despite all these fact, China is also good at cheating. Many doping cases on Olympic champions - especially weightlifting and during Beijing 2008 faking the real date of birth of the gymnasts so could compete even 12 years-olds.
But back to the topic, the drilling here is sometimes really crazy but brings the great harvest afterwards.

Would rather best ball be on day 1 and alternate shots be on day 2, but overall I think this is a good format. -
1980. Allan Wells. It wasn’t on television because of the Olympic boycott so I found out about it from the newspapers. -

Also GB didn’t reach its target in the 4x100 women relay or the medley so those places might be rejected. -

It was the last event of the meet anyway, so they were never likely to do a swim off. If they wanted to decide in advance based on a race, more likely on a meet like Mare Nostrum. Both are pre-selected anyway because of the relay, so they both will be there anyway. Whichever gets the nod, we probably won't know until the week of. With GB's history of messing about, especially in the first year of a new Olympic cycle, who knows what we'll do. Knowing us, stick Tom Dean in there, make Duncan do the 200 fly and Jimmy the 400 free. -

Will they do a swim-off? The other option is they select both of them and then the head coach decides who swims at the meet. -

Very glad they went with foursome/four-ball rather than just adding up individual scores. -
I'll give it a shot. On the mens side the freestyle results were pretty standard with the usual suspects of Ben Proud, Matt Richards and Duncan Scott swimming well. I don't think any of these guys were fully tapered and Proud didn't even shave for his 50m free win (21.67). 17 year old Jacob Mills came second in both the 50 and 100m free, so is on the team for Singapore. Tom Dean has only just got back into training but qualified in the 4x100 after being preselected in the 4x200 free. James Guy looked impressive with a PB in the 200m free at 1:45.08. He also won the 400m free in a race where he went out way too fast and died at the end (3:46.64). The longer distances weren't notable. Ollie Morgan was certainly stand out swimmer on the mens side sweeping the backstrokes for a 3rd straight year. He broke the national record in the 100m with a 52.12 with a pretty poor finish. He also impressed in the 200m with a 1:55.55 Without Peaty, the mens breaststroke was pretty poor, with Greg Butler only qualifying for the relay. 17 year olds Max Morgan and Filip Nowacki took home a few medals between them. The Men's fly was also pretty pedestrian by international standards. Proud won the 50m in 23.21 with a long glide, whilst Ed Mildred took the relay spot in 51.80. 17 y.o Jack Brown was only 0.07 back Duncan Scott won the 200m (1:54.89) but he wont swim it in Singapore. Scott took the mens 200m IM in 1:56.44, whilst, Max Litchfield won the 400m in 4:11.59 On the women's side the quality wasn't as good but there were a few standout performances. Freya Colbert got close to the British record in the 200m free in 1:55.76, and Eva Okaro impressed with a 24.48 50m free. The backstrokes were disappointing with nobody breaking a minute in the 100 (1:00.03), but Katie Shanahan looked good in the 200 at (2:07.91) Angharad Evans was rapid in the breaststrokes breaking the national record in the 100 (1:05.37), and a huge PB in the 200 (2:21.86) Fly was poor with nobody breaking 58 in the 100 (58.03), but Macinnes broke the Scottish record in the 200 (2:07.14) Abbie Wood swept the Medleys with a 2:08.85 200 and a 4:36.66 400 Overall the results were alright with a few strong standout performances. As is the case in a post olympic year, the big guns took it fairly easy whilst some juniors looked really promising.

Nope, I am not trolling anyone. I just gave you a certain comparison. Paltrinieri is/was a medal contestant in probably 2 events. And he is one of the biggest stars of Italian swimming these days. So I understand that his withdrawal is a big loss for the Italian Olympic Team.
I will give you another example. If
Lasha Talakhadze in weightlifting withdrew from Olympics, should the Georgian fans make happier to tell them that they have medal.contestants in other categories or sports? Well, in my opinion, no. Of course, there can always be a surprising unexpected medal from any athlete. But you have an Olympic Gold medal contestant getting ready for several years for this special event and mononucleosis cuts his efforts .... One sport disaster for him and the Italian Olympic Team. Of course, some other athletes will shine cause of winning the medal. But he may have shined as well..... As for another example, I may say high jumper Tamberi 
... Before Rio, he was a medal contestant, highest bid for gold, but ACL ruined everything. These days, ppl barely know him, mostly because of his "beard cuts" .... If he won the Olympics, his life and career would have been elsewhere.....
