After 300m: "De Waard lost time but with Kromowidjojo against Dahlia, it can barely go wrong."

Party for @Werloc and @Bearas :d 

Is it weird that I don't tend to feel overly hyped for the championships in 25m pools? :mumble: Perhaps I'm also a bit spoiled with Rapšys consistent good results as well... On the other hand, this victory is mighty impressive, especially since he doesn't really swim competitive 400m outside Lithuania. I assume he might stop with the backstroke all-together and just work with 200/400 free.

Santana in it, but also Cielo in it, that's a hard choice...alright, let's go Russia then because Morozov and Kolesnikov :p 


I'm really happy for Matheus. He deserved a world medal for a long time, so I'm glad he finally got it. Also, Cielo hinted he might retire after this competition.

No, since it's simply a lot weaker than in 50m pools, but a world title is a world title :d

    • Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Let's do this for a country that is not actually that good in winter sports as well as our Olympic Committee Declining lots of places.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
