The Polish did finish higher than I expected, so I’d say it worked.

 

Oh please... Poland was never going to finish last anyway.

Asking a woman to sprint against a man is just too much. This was very uncomfortable to watch to be honest.

 

yeah, it's already "impressive" to see the difference between men and women in swimming (where they are in lanes, not directly close to each other), but here is really disturbing...the US guy passing Swiety was...anticlimatic as hell...

By the way, Schippers has just withdrawn from the 100m final citing a groin injury. She wants to try and not make it worse so she can start in the 200m tomorrow.

Alison Felix becomes the most decorated track athlete of all-time I believe...

Well, if it was Zalewski not Suwara we could have had a medal. Damn you PZLA and Zalewski's ego.

Like comrades said "it was a good plan, but execution failed"

They could have gotten a medal if they didn't have these tactics and throw away literally every slipstream advantage they could otherwise have had..

Too bad that fact came in such a circus act.

Felix with gold number 37 

 

I must admit, i kinda enjoyed Omelko running from the ladies and then the american passing Swiety like it's F1

No, but they took a risk and made the race interesting. I expected them to finish 6-7, so better in the end.
