Wow 15:51:68 for Pignatiello in the 1500 free. New south american record.

 

I hope she gives us 3 golds at the pan am games.  

 

#3 in the world this season, behind Ledecky and Wang. And she is not going to Gwangju :(

Why not?

 

Because there is overlap with pan am games and the priority is the games for any of our athletes. From this year on our NOC has a new policy: if you don't win a pan american medal you lose all funding. The only exception is winning a World championship medal, which she can do with a mark like this, but it's far from sure, so.... better play it safe.  

  

Also it doesn't help that WCH is Korea, exactly the opposite side of the world. If they were in USA or west Europe I think our swimmers (or at least her) would have tried both.

Also, when the decision was made I don´t think there were real expectations that she would be doing potential world medal times at this point of the season.

Settecolli Meet in Rome

 

all Results from Day 1 and 2 here:

http://fin2019.microplustiming.com/NU_2019_06_21-23_Roma_web.php?s=TG9hZENhbGVuZGFyaW8oJzAnKTs=&cat=ASM&page=005&spec=007&bat=001&td=CGR1&hg=&descIT=TWVuIC0gODAwIG0gU3RpbGUgTGliZXJvIC0gU2VyaWU=&descEN=TWVuIC0gODAwbSBGcmVlc3R5bGU=&descFR=TWVuIC0gODAwIG0gTmFnZSBMaWJyZQ==&curCatSel_M_F=

 

too many excellent results to be reported here...

 

but I just like to spend a few words about Benedetta Pilato, 13 years young and winner of the women's 50m Breastroke (30.28), who in the morning heats set a new Italian record and swam the 3rd fastest time of the year in 30.13...:yikes::bowdown:

this kind of performance are so rare for Italian athletes when they're still so young...

Good performance, although she is already 14 years old and it's not an olympic event.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

she's not 14 yet, her birthday is later in the year...:evil:

and I know this is not an Olympic event...however, yesterday she swam 1.08.7 in the 100m Breastroke...

I'm not even expecting her to be a medal contender already next year in the Olympic distance, but just being already this year among the top specialists in the sprint distance is not an ordinary performance (and as I wrote before, it's very rare for an Italian athlete...Pellegrini was the last sub-18 global medal winner for Italy in swimming in 2004, just to make a comparison)...

She is 14 years old, I think she is born in January

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
