Rasovszky was clearly ahead, he threw away the gold at the finish. :facepalm:

Yep, he seemed to forget that Weertman is known for having the fastest sprint of everyone in the open water. Or of course Rasovszky just couldn't go any faster :p 

 

Anyway, epic finish when after nearly 2 hours of swimming the gold is decided in such a way that one needs a super slowmotion video of the finish to really see who won.

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

great finish of the men's race...

Rasovsky attempted more than once to suicide himself with a strange trajectory...finally he was able to do it on the finish line...:facepalm:

really modest performance by the Italians...:wall:

still too much Orange on the podium for my taste...:facepalm:

 

but, being serious for a (short) while, chapeau! to Van Rouwendaal...she's really the no.1 open water swimmer in the world right now...:bowdown:

very happy about Gabrielleschi's result, since she's still learning how to play this game (she only started last year to swim outside the pool)...she definitely couldn't do anything more than she actually did today...

and decent result also by Bruni...she was still tired from yesterday (she doen't have the same body as the Dutch super-girl) and she was also really annoyed by the water temperature and the full heavy bodysuit...

 

in Tokyo (but also at the next Worlds in Korea) we're gonna see something different for sure (but Van Rowendaal will be still on top, I fear)...

I also think that Van Rouwendaal will win gold, although maybe someone like Köhler migth be a serious danger to her, but i dont think that Weertman will win gold.

I am sure everyone was annoyed by the water temperature and the full bodysuit + Sharon won the 5 k yesterday, it is clear that she is miles ahead of everyone else here.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

sure, but there are athletes who can cope with that a lot better than average and others that are more penalized by that (Bruni, for instance, is one of those, since she's a lot lighter than her main rivals -and normally the heavier you are, the more you get some help by the full bodysuit used in cold water conditions)...

 

for what concerns the Tokyo race, at the moment Van Rouwendaal is the main favourite, no doubt about that...but we still have a couple of years to go, so there's always the option to find a newcomer to open water swimming that could upset her...

we can only wait and see...

Like Esmee Vermeulen who has barely made the move to open water and already took bronze today :d

she's one of them, but potentially there are a lot more of those average pool swimmers in the long distances that could make the same move...in many Countries...;)

 

p.s. Gabbrielleschi is one of those...she's only at her second year outside the lanes...and today she was better than Vermeulen...:whistle:

 

p.p.s. in any case, I think Van Rouwendaal's worst enemy in Tokyo (and in Korea) will be the water temperature...it will be extremely high, I fear (and SVR could have some troubles because of that...at least, more than some of her main rivals, especially the Italian and Brazilian girls, who normally love the hot water)...

      Canoe Sprint There is a now a cap of 5 athletes per gender in the kayak events (down from 6 in 2024). The World Championships has been replaced by the Olympic Qualification Rankings.   K2 lost 2 boat quotas while K4 has gained 1 boat quota. Quota distribution is quite complicated as it usually is for canoe sprint. They also force nations to compete in a minimum number of events based on the number of athletes qualified; 2 and 3 athletes per boat class must compete in 2 events, 4 must compete in all 3 events and 5 must compete in all 3 events and have two entries in the K1 event.

      Wrestling will have a completely new format, I do not like the changes. ranking isn't really a good idea in this sport, this will force wrestlers to compete in so many events to collect points. which is not good for their health. specially with the current UWW ranking points distribution system which is plain stupid   they are also gifting 18 quotas to very weak countries by that last qualification event. but I understand their point of view. can't wait to see lots of Russian wrestlers compete for weak countries for that 1 available quota.

      Canoe Slalom Quotas from men's/women's K1 have been moved to men's/women's KX1. K1 will now have 14 quotas while KX1 will have 10 quotas. C1 remains at 17 quotas. Athletes may participate in other events up to a maximum of 2 athletes per NOC.   The World Championship qualifier has been dropped in favour of the Olympic Qualification Rankings (7 K1, 10 C1, 3 KX1), afterwards you have the Continental Qualifiers (1 per boat) and then a new Global Qualifier (2 per boat).   There were a few changes regarding ways to ensure an athlete can only obtain 1 quota. The biggest being at each stage the boat priority is K1 > KX1 > C1 for the rankings and KX1 > K1 > C1 for the continental/global qualifiers. This basically means if the same athlete qualifiers in multiple boats then the quota will be given to the kayak over canoe.

      I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
