I'm sure Bach would prefer as many women around him as possible!

 

He wants to introduce a new event, women's Bach-stroke .

Russian anthem 

 

One of the anthems I'm always secretly whistling along when I'm alone  

 

The Russian anthem is great! Probably my favourite.

I remember in Barcelona her parents were sitting 2-3 rows down from me and they were always talking about their daughter to everyone in a very enthousiastic way, leading to everyone in their/our vicinity always cheering for Osman in the entire week  

 

Ahh, that's really cool!

Osman qualified to final

She is competing for the club of Piranhas?

 

That's a clever way of getting your swimmers to go a bit faster, add some piranhas to the pool

Another gold for Mona McSharry today, this time in women's 100m breaststroke.... 2 golds and 1 silver for her, what a championships for Mona!

Overall a great championships for our team, 2 golds and 2 silvers and a 4th place in the mixed relay.

 

Hopefully Mona and Conor can keep it going into the worlds and the world juniors. It will be another big step up but good to see we have some new talents at least.

YES!! Ervin regains his Olympic title at 35 years old.... wonderful

I am cheering for Ervin in the men's 50m freestyle final.... how awesome it would be to see the Sydney 2000 Olympic champion regain the title 4 Olympics later in Rio 2016... I love these types of things . Even a podium finish for him would be cool.

It is, not many people could beat Phelps and co.

 

4 years ago, Schooling was probably in total awe of these three swimmers.... now he is going to be sharing the podium with them, and he is on the top step. It's such a beautiful result in so many ways

It's such a funny configuration of people to share a medal.

 

Isn't it amazing how the Olympics throws up these moments... it's so fitting for the three of them to be tied together in what could be Phelps' final race.
