Clearly a move aimed for a predicted German gold medal. Like Irena Szewinska was always handing out medals in hammer or race walking back in the day :lol:

Yeah, I believe at the Olympics IOC members get first choice of which events where they can hand out medals, so they always pick one where a national hero is favoutite.

Summer Mcintosh at age 15 wins her first major world individual medal! Breaks 4 mins and the new NR! Not bad for a 15 year old!

 

(She did win the silver medal in the 400m at the short course worlds )

Only 4th swimmer after Ledecky, Titmus and Pellegrini to break the 4 minute at only 15yo. Crazy.

 

This was the last gold for Ledecky in the 400 on a major meet. Titmus and McIntosh gonna dominate this race in the next years.

There’s a young phenom coming out of the US College circuit….:facepalm:

That was very entertaining. Hope the next days will be even better.

 

 

Congrats, Canada! 
And I wonder if Marchand gets gold for France on first day in Paris 2024. Hopefully he can keep this form for next two years and maybe still improve.
