great, great swim by Simona...

Ledecky is still untouchable, but the silver medal in Tokyo now is really a chance...

p.s. she swam with negative split...

 

meanwhile, Peaty!!!!! :yikes::yikes::yikes::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

he's a monster...he's not human!

What makes you think that she could win medals in the future? Titmus is 2 years younger and faster and the same is true for the chinese girls, in addition to that Kesely is 3 years younger and only 5 s slower.

Germany wins the circus event :d 

You are only saying that because the Netherlands were completely hopeless ... This is a mixed relay, so its the best reflection of a nations strength in swimming, so the only logical conclusion is that Germany is currently the best european nation in swimming.

as if 5 seconds were nothing...:whistle:

the Chinese girls we all know that today are there and tomorrow they could be on the wada black list...

Titmus...for the Australian standards she's already on top of her game, meanwhile Quadarella, for the Italian standards, is still very young and improving fast (actually this was only her second global event and she improved her PB by 5 seconds...

only Kesely could be a real threat...but I think she's gonna be more of a new Risztov/Kapas than a new Hosszu...knowing the Hungarian system, she's already been pushed to her absolute limits in training...if she doesn't leave HUN for another Country (like Hosszu), she's gonna be totally burnt out by Tokyo...

and as I already wrote, I'm one of Simona's biggest fans...therefore I really hope she's gonna have a bright future, even more than people watching her races with a more "relaxed" approach...:lol:;)

actually he's from Ukraine and he's not so young to have competed at the junior Europeans that recently (he's already 25 years old)...

no idea about his junior record, but he represented Ukraine until 2015 (he missed out on the final in the 400 IM for them in London), then he switched to AZE...

tbh, I guess this late improvement after changing to that specific Nation is at least suspect (but don't be bothered by this last sentence...it's surely me...I just can't trust AZE anymore for anything)...:whistle:

more in general, Latin girls (and partially also Latin men) become "real women" ("real men") later than girls from GBR/USA/AUS and Northern European Countries...

it's just a cultural question...unless life situations forces us otherwise, we normally spend more time with our original family before starting our own living project...and this reflects also on all the other activities, including a full physical and mental development...

there are many studies trying to explain that...without a single convincing theory, to be honest...:facepalm:

5 seconds are not nothing, but apparently thats exactly the time that Quadarella improved by in one year, so why should a girl who is 3 years younger not be able to do it? By your logic Ledecky for example should have stopped improving years ago, i dont see a reason why Kesely should already be at her limit, considering that she just destroyed her PB, the same is true for Titmus who absolutely destroyed her PBs this year. I understand that you want to believe it, but for me there is just no actual proof that those girls are at their limit already and i think it would be very weird if all those 16/17 yo girls would already be at their limit while 20 year old Quadarella still has a lot of potential. All those girls have more raw speed than Quadarella, so probably 1500 would be her best chance for a medal.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
