:EGY Osman made the final by 0,02.

So Anna Ntountounaki was 9th, missing out on the final by 0.02. At the Tokyo Olympics she was also 9th, missing out on the final by 0.06. She was so close to making the final both times, I really hope she can make it at the next Worlds :cry:

:GRE Apostolos Christou with a CR of 52.09 (previously 52.26) in the men's 100 backstroke semifinals :hyper:

Obviously broke his own NR as well (previously 52.77) :yes

 

Really hoping he can win a medal here, although last year at the Euros he only won bronze with 52.97 after swimming 52.77 in the semifinals (which would've been enough for gold in the final...)

With Haughey pulling out of the 100 and 200 free, Oleksiak is the only medalist from Tokyo in either of those races to compete in Budapest (bronze in the 200).  And seeing as she finished 4th in the 100, looking pretty good there, too.

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.

It's not new though. Swimming championships seem to have been pushed away gradually for a few years now (before 2020).

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

I agree, and also it's the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS in Swimming, how is that less relevant than the shite is on BBC Two for those two hours

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

TV schedules aren't about relevance. They're about the cost of acquiring the rights versus the amount of viewers they'll get. And while us sports nuts mightn't like it, repeats of sitcoms or reality shows get more viewers per dollar/pound/euro than most sports

Yeah, live TV is very expensive for TV stations. Unlike syndication shows where you can show them over and over, for sports you only get one chance.

Less so now: you just take the preproduced feed & slap a commentator in his bedroom on it.

    • That is absolutely certain. Any somewhat reasonable politician should be good enough to win against someone like Trump, even with the unfortunate timing (for the Democrats) of having to carry the brunt of the COVID pandemic consequences and so any Republic having a bit of a head start anyway.   But yeah, dreadful performance overall from Harris, who seemed to start quite positively, but then just lowered herself to Trump's level in terms of throwing shit at each other. That was a terribly dumb choice, nobody is going to beat Trump at the insult game, as we have seen.

    • It was never a priority to stop the war but to prolong it to offload the old weapons systems and keep Russia occupied in a conflict. But the West's strategy backfired as it pushed Russia to friendship with China. Many don't realize as Russia and China are actually adversaries even when they shared a common ideology during the Soviet era
