Hungarian swimming is saved, thank you Hubi! 

 

Literally the same that happened to Hosszú when she went to the US to train before the 2009 Worlds. Bob Bowman > Hungarian coaching staff.

I'm glad you got your gold mate! Swimming needs Hungary to keep doing well.

 King Kyle wins gold in the men's 100m freestyle in 47.15! 

 

His first individual LC world title!

 

@dullard

I wanted that one for him so much! Got the shakes now ha

[dullard 500]

Also Alexy has a big swim in him if he could salvage a final spot after such a disasterous start. He really shouldn't have been able to go that time off that start!

The first two races of this session were INSANE but especially the 200 free. The way Mollie split that race is just scary!

Hunter Armstrong is the luckiest guy on the planet. Qualifies to the semis in 16th, qualifies to the finals in 8th

He qualified but his stroke looks really off.

[dullard 500]

So Armstrong looks terrible. The gold's Ceccon's for the taking.

Wow, Ceccon and Armstrong barely make it to the semis

Looked like they misjudged their heat swims rather than not on form.

It was such a wonderful night for me. I am in Fukuoka watched today's matches including prelims and finals on court. Just witnessed 3 WR, 3 AR, one medal and one relay olympic quota for China. I am going to watch the finals on court in coming days. Hopefully so happy everyday. I am already in love with Fukuoka.

Timezone advantage for China and Australia 💪

[dullard 500]

Apparently Australians LOVE Fukuoka! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[dullard 500]

The Australian women have been capable of an eye-popping WR like that for a number of years based on best times/splits but they were never all on form/executed at the same time.

I don't know how Marchand can make 3 seconds on the breaststroke on Phelps of all people. 

 

Michael Phelps not having an individual WR seems very wrong.

 

 

Phelps' breast was just "okay" while Marchand's is very elite and he may break the 200 breast WR soon.

What a swim for Titmus  

 

By the way, does an all-time ranking exist somewhere in swimming? Like World Athletics has this one, where one can see the fastest/best athletes ever (with only everyone's best performance) and the fastest/best performances ever (with multiple performances for athletes):

https://worldathletics.org/records/all-time-toplists/sprints/100-metres/outdoor/women/senior

 

Does something similar exist in swimming? So if someone swims, say, 3:56.80, we can say "that's the Xth fastest time ever"?

You can achieve OQTs by relay splits? Well, that's new to me. 

As long it's not a mixed relay and it's a lead off leg.

Been waiting for the Brits to break out in this relay for several years and they just keep f*cking it up.

Is there no live timing at all? Just the results in PDF form after all the heats?

The World Aquatics website is closer to live but the interface is so bad I refuse to use it.

[dullard 500]

Did Kesely and Zombori just plateau or did something happen to derail their careers?

[dullard 500]

The official entry list PDF still isn't out but the entries have appeared on the website

when we should expect the final list of swimming discipline to be announced?

Last year the official entry lists didn't come out until three days before the start of swimming.

[dullard 500]

The change to relay qualification is only temporary because of the Doha WCs in early 2024.

Is Leonie related to Lukas Märtens?

luckily, this record by Chikunova will never be recorded as official...

It has been ratified along with Kolesnikov's short course 50 back world record.

[dullard 500]

The US trials has been so fast. The amount of talent they have coming through the juniors right now is something smaller countries just can't compete with. It's quite instane.
