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:

      Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028 Qualification Systems

      Weightlifting formula is more or less similar to 2020 which was considered terrible by everybody!    this is a tough sport, you can't be in your best shape for too many events. there will be risks of serious injuries this way. with these rules you need 5 good results to qualify. if you bomb out in an event to score a zero you are out of the Olympics unless you replace it with another event. which means most of these poor guys have to participate in 7-8 events (and not just 5) to make up for possible bomb outs.    most importantly if you get injured anytime during this period (almost 2 years) you are out of the Olympics! that's how Sohrab Moradi missed the Tokyo Olympics despite breaking the WR during the qualification period. you can miss the Olympics in 2028 if you get injured late 2026 !  Karlos Nasar couldn't win the Olympic title if we had these rules in 2024   I understand 2024 qualification formula wasn't great either, it had its own flaws but this one is much worse for threatening athletes' health.
