The BBC commentator is unimpressed… “it’s quiet… it’s no Birmingham, that’s for sure” 👀

That’s your problem with outdoor pools, of course.  Crowds are good, but when there isn’t an  in the race…..

God i never get tired of hearing the Italian anthem, especially with home crowd passion. It gives you so much energy.

In the olden days a wolf was the symbol of Rome.  This time: a labrador.

Our TV literally interrupted the Football European cup match by a live coverage from this, first, I will not lie, I was shocked what the hell they are doing, until I heard Nagy is in the final Yeah, a Slovak swimmer in the individual final is sort of once in a decade holiday, so a proud public TV of its name can not miss that

 

Anyway, Richard finished last, so TV returned back to Rakow-Trnava/Steaua-DAC footballs

Any reason to interrupt some football match is usually a good one, so +1 for Slovak TV

I hope one of Katinka Hosszu’s sponsors is a company that makes metal cleaning products.

Good performance from Šidlauskas, looks ready to at least attack for the bronze. Wishing the best for him tomorrow.

Good start to the Championships for team BG, as Miladinov makes the final in the 50 fly, which is his second best discipline. 

 

By the way, Italy is going to easily win the medal table here. That strong team, which we saw at the Worlds is going to snatch a lot of wins here. Also, having an outside pool is a choice. I know it's not the first time it's happened, but it's not that common the last few years. I wonder what happens, if it rains 

no, it's not...

 

we simply don't have an indoor pool capable of hosting a global event... 

 

and building a temporary one in an indoor arena like Milan's Forum or Turin's Olympic Palace is not worth the effort under an economical POV (maybe for the world champs, surely not for the Europeans)...

 

if it rains "mildly", no problem, the show goes on as if it didn't rain...

 

if there are dangerous conditions (a storm, lightnings and so on), the session is stopped until the danger ends, then it starts again...

At this point, any rain is surprising this Summer.
