Nobody writes Gabbrielleschi's surname correctly, not even the official site and Italian people

The open water swimming starts today with the 5k's in freaking awesome Loch Lomond :wub:

Spoiler

I saw there's a marathon swimming thread, but today are the 5k's and that's quite simply not marathon swimming, so that thread definitely isn't the place for it.

I would sort of laugh my balls of in a bit of a cruel way if it turns out everyone was wrong about the Loch Ness Monster and one actually shows up in Loch Lomond during today's races.

unfortunately the weather conditions are not ideal...water is expected to be only around 13/15 degrees (which means that the swimmers will be allowed to wear the full "heavy" bodysuit)...

and this will probably influence also the final results...

 

the swimming marathon thread is dedicated to the world series (with all races over 10k), so this is the right thread for the open water swimming events at the european championships...

however, I hope there will be some tv coverage (and for open water swimming my best chance is my "beloved" rai, our public TV :yikes::facepalm::cry:)...

 

p.s. by the way, Loch Lomond used to be also the site of the Golf Scottish Open until a few years ago (when they started to use only the socalled "links" kind of courses, meanwhile Loch Lomond is a wonderful "parkland" kind of course)...

really stupid tactical mistake by the Italian girls...they allowed Van Rouwendaal and Beck to swim away from the rest of the field since the beginning of the race...and now they can't catch them anymore...:facepalm::wall:

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Team Sizes

      By hckošice · Posted

      will have 5 representatives in Luge at the 2026 Olympics.      Jozef Ninis (Top pic) in the M Singles will compete at his 6th consecutive WOG !!! He debuted in Torino 2006 to close the circle in another Italian resort in 2026, by this he set the new Slovak Winter Olympic record of participation and tie the all time one with Erik Vlček competing at 6 games in Sprint Canoeing as well.   The remaining quartet (Pic 2) will debut at the Olympics, all still Juniors Christián Bosman & Bruno Mick in the M Doubles and still schoolgirls Viktória Praxová & Desana Špitzová in the olympic premiere of the W Doubles     Must also be said, that we were quite unlucky in this qualifiers periode, Marián Skupek missed the second M Singles quota by 1 point and ended first non-qualified athlete and the experienced doubles Vaverčák/Zmij which was in clear qualifying position ended the season after Vaverčák injured his knee in the training before the Sigulda race 2 weeks ago   Also for the first time no W Singles participation for us meaning also obviously no participation in the Mixed Relay competition for the first time as well   Team (Updated as of 12th January 2026) 40 Athletes (30 M + 10 W)

      Hypothetically she could meet the minimum standards still with a high placement in the NAC event tomorrow. Seems unlikely to me, but still possible.

      Yea she did not meet the minimum points. Since the event doesn't have enough qualifiers, its possible the FIS still grants her a quota
