Was really thinking Summer would improve her PB by more than that. Perhaps she isn't fully rested for trials.

 

She wasn't really pushed in that race either. She won by almost 10 seconds

There is no real point in going even faster this early in the season. I'm sure she will win the 400 I'm but at a time that is more than her pb. As long as she qualifies for the World's.

She is still quite faster than Ledecky at the same age :yikes:

The thing about Ledecky's best time at 15 is it was set in the first 400 of the 800 final at the London Olympics so it undoubtedly would've been faster if she swam the 400 but she still didn't possess the speed McIntosh has already. I get the impression McIntosh's sweet spot is 200-400 like Titmus while Ledecky's is 800-1500.

Yeah, I was comparing with her time at trials that year (4:05.00), but she was about 5 months younger than Summer and would have been faster at the Olympics for sure. But she didn't swim it there and I still think McIntosh is a bit ahead in the progression for this event at least. 

 

Agree with the 200-400 sweet spot, at least on free, because her 400 IM and 200 fly seem even better.

That 400 free from Galossi is Ian Thorpesque and Lukas Märtens' 3:41.60 in the 400 free was extremely impressive also.

 

It's a shame Winnington choked so terribly in Tokyo because his window of opportunity for a global championship gold medal may now be closed.

    • 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 The World Championships has been replaced by the Olympic Qualification Rankings.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
    • 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
