wow we are competing I see one 17 years old girl in the start list, hopefully she will swim in the right direction and finish the race

 

there are some posts related to this event in the "regular" swimming thread...

it would be nice if you could switch them to this one (which we didn't see earlier)...

 

p.s. I fear our friend @heywoodu is going to party at the end of this women's race...

That's only for the marathon swimming, so 10k and 25k, today is the 5k

and once again the Netherlands on top (thanks to our "genius" girls)...I just can't stand orange anymore...now I'm gonna throw away all my clothes with even a small part with that colour...

 

at least we got a bronze medal at the end of the race...

no, it should be intended "Open Water Swimming"...all disciplines (5, 10 & 25k)...

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

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)...

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.
