Well one would expect the Slovakia Swimming Cup to be held in Slovakia, I suppose

And the Dutch marathon championships on natural ice is generally in Austria, but still I find national championships different than some 'normal' event that sounds like it's welcome for everyone

 

Anyway, not a big deal but I do understand why someone might find it odd

much more odd would be to build a "certified" 50m pool which will be used at max. once per year.

That would also be odd, yes.

Looks like the foreign "certified" pool brought us some unexpected surprises. If I am not wrong (Correct me if yes) we just qualified to Tokyo our first swimmer, the young Andrea Podmaníková with her new NR 1:05.54 in 100m Breaststroke

 

 

 

Also Richard Nagy won the 400m IM with 4:12.24 and Tomáš Klobučník in M 100m Breaststroke with 59.86, both should be OQT times too, right ? It would be hard to believe if we would have already 3 qualified swimmers, if yes, then we should organize all our swimming competitions in Hungary from now forever lol

That's short course, right? Times on short course are faster due to more turns.

 

1:05.54 on long course would be ridiculously fast. Easily enough for the podium at this year's World championships.
