Katie Ledecky's first meet of 2022:

 

1:54.66 in 200 free (faster than Tokyo)

 

4:00.95 in 400 free (slower than Tokyo, but faster than any other non supersuited swim except Titmus and one Leah Smith swim)

 

8:11.83 in 800 free (faster than Tokyo... And anyone else in history, actually. Now owns the top 25 swims ever)

 

15:40.63 in 1500 free (slower than Tokyo, still faster than anyone else ever except Friis and Boyle)

 

Also raced the 400 IM and did her 4th best personal time.

 

A casual weekend :p

Also, the qualification process for aquatic sports for Paris 2024 would be such a mess if they go through with hosting World Aquatics Championships in both 2023 and 2024. Would they use the 2023 World Championships or 2024 for quotas? Or both?

2008-born Antonia Rakopoulou :GRE swam 1500 freestyle today in 16:54.70 to win the national winter championship. Her previous PB was 17:09.32.

 

Greek women's swimming has almost always been extremely less successful than Greek men's swimming for some strange reason (and as our men keep improving year after year, our women keep declining), so it's nice to finally have a decent female prospect after many years. Especially since it would be hard to see Anna Ntountounaki sticking around much longer as she's already 26 years old.

 

It would be interesting to see what her time would be at an event abroad with a higher level of competition. Obviously her time is nothing special but considering her age, one would expect her to make huge improvements each year for the next several years.

Summer Mcintosh with a  4:29.12 in the 400 im at a test event in Toronto for the Canadian Trials!!!

 

Almost 3 seconds faster than the winning time in Tokyo. Insane, she is only 15.

And third faster swimmer ever in the event. Katinka's record will be in danger.

 

I wonder how will be her program in the next major tournaments. She pretty much can swim every free event from 200 upwards, the two IMs, 200 butterfly... Crazy talent.

Ben Titley's contract was not renewed by Swimming Canada (sounds like a money reason) :facepalm:

 

Titley was the architect of Canada's team going through a reinesance. This is a huge loss.

    • Hoffman & Raimund are the only Germans who had decent results this season. Geiger did nothing aka even less than Paschke and one dead cat bounce here after OG nominations shouldn't matter and it clearly doesn't. I support German nomnations. Geiger should be nowhere near 2026 OG.

    • Wide on one of the turns but not bad  Alexander 
    • How hell , Haiti trinidade KSA Enirats are in ?, from where they have snow  Cheaterssss
    • Paschke is completely out of form, so if he were to withdraw on his own, they could make a change for medical reasons? For now, Geiger should be jumping in duets with Hoffman, as Raimund is weaker now.
    • Second time watching alpine skiing this season  surprised with how little I’ve watched this season
    • Lukáš Cingel replaces Beijing 2022 captain Marek Hrivík for  who is out with injury
    • One better look out if Germany didn't test some 'magical potatoe sack suit' with this Geiger performance in Willingen
