Don't know if it's because of the weather, but I do know with these clothes it was much easier to recognize the athletes, so +1 for that.

 

yeah, they were wearing those suits because of the cold water...and it was a big trouble for many swimmers (normally they swim in warm places, where you can't use those full bodysuits), especially for our girls (they said before the start they were going to have some problems because of those suits...they really hate them)...

 

being able to recognize theathletes more easily is the only good thing about this situation...

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

p.s. @hckosice if you can, you should also change the title of this thread in "Open Water Swimming" and so on, rather than "Marathin Swimming" and so on...;)

 

I take back my bad words about you, eat all the fish and vegetables you want. This post :bowdown:

I'm happy with them :d

 

It's often way too hard to recognize the athletes, I don't get why they simply use swimming caps in full national flag colours for example (or with something distinguishing them, like orange for the Dutch).

I agree on that...and I don't understand why they don't do it...it shouldn't be that complicated, I guess...

Vermeulen fighting for bronze, I had no idea she was already this good in open water :yikes:

 

Very nice fight for gold between Van Rouwendaal and Gabrielleschi, kilometer after kilometer.

      Summer Olympic Games 2036 Bid Process

      In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA

      impossible, there are not enough venues in both towns and I mean, Milan doesn't have an Olympic Stadium, a decent Tennis Complex and a big Swimming Complex (not to mention the sea) Rome, on the other hand, doesn't have a Rowing/Canoeing Basin nor arenas and stadiums for the team sports beyond football and rugby there's no chance that all those venues would be built from scratch, meanwhile if we use both cities we already have almost everything we need, especially the most expensive and controversial sites

      https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)

      Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)
