That website is shite but the finals being on BBC is nice. For such a big event it's weird how it's online-only, even random Diamond League meetings are live on BBC Three

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

I was afraid that would happen.  It’s the same when they cover athletics. They do a live stream, but instead of just putting the livestream on the website after the event finishes, they break it up event by event, which always creates delays.  
 

The evening sessions are going to be on BBC streaming also, so they’re usually on the BBC iplayer 1-2 hours after the event.

 

Yeah, everything seems to be streaming only. It's not on Belgian TV, Dutch NOS will start an hour after the session started, not on BBC (TV), doesn't seem to be on German TV. It's like every channel is ignoring the existence of the FINA sports nowadays. How are people supposed to get interested in such an incredibly invisible sport? :d

They usually do a bit more when it’s later in the year, but this time it’s Tennis Month at the BBC so…

Might be something to do with how the rights were obtained by the EBU?

I think it’s more to do with all the knock-on changes from the originally-planned Fukuoka 2021. TV Companies have their sports schedules set & the rights paid for years in advance, so when a major event is changed at (relativity) the last minute, it gets bumped to the bottom of the priorities list.

My picks for today, probably all wrong.

 

M 400 free - 1. Lukas Martens GER

W 400 free - 1. Katie Ledecky USA
M 400 IM - 1. Carson Foster USA

W 4x100 free - 1. Australia but USA close 2nd

M 4x100 free - I would like Australia to win but it will probably be USA unless some DSQ

    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
