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

she's one of the mascots of the championships...there's also a male dog, a Terranova (60+kg :yikes:), both are life-saving trained dogs...

At this point, any rain is surprising this Summer. :p

sure, according to the forecast, there's no chance of rain in the next couple of weeks at least...

 

it was just a theoretical hypothesis...;)

Yeah, that’s what the BBC commentators thought.  Funny thing is, Labradors were originally bred in Scotland for duck hunting - ie going into the water & finding birds that had just been shot.

Well, sure did not see that coming :d 

Yeah that 4x200m was a complete surprise to me. But it also felt like there was barely any competition, I only recognised Hosszu and Steenbergens names I believe.

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 :lol: 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 :p

 

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

meanwhile our public TV stopped the live broadcast to send a useless edition of the news (they have at least 6 or 7 a day, not that losing one of the minor editions would make any damage), missing all the semis of the women's 200m Back and the men's 100m Breast...

 

in the next few days, most likely they're going to miss some finals (and possibly some Italian medals)...

 

typical RAI...:hairpull: :redcard:

Speaking of the outdoor pool and the weather:

 

I think the 2006 European Championships in Budapest was the last big international swimming event in an outdoor pool where a session had to be suspended due to a storm. I remember that the Hungarian Eurosport commentators had to use their own phones the next day to broadcast the event because the storm wrecked the commentator stand. They had to flee the stand live on air when the storm hit the pool.

Absolutely ridiculous! Sara Junevik is out even if she had the 4th best qualification time. Why? Yes because Sweden is only allowed to have two swimmers in the semifinals. Sjöström and Hansson were better then poor Junevik is out. So now swimmer with worse time qualify just because they are from another country. This is not fair. :(

Italy also had the top four in the heats in the women's 100 breast. Would you prefer they just limit entries to two like at the Olympics and Worlds?

One point of the Champs is to allow as many swimmers as possible to establish world rankings, so they allow lots more athletes to compete than the Olympics, Worlds etc.

      Festival of Music   For this year’s Festival of Music I thought I would change it up a bit. Since we are approaching the festive holiday season, I want you all to post some festive songs from your country. If you don’t celebrate Christmas then perhaps some other song that has a special place in your heart during an important celebration.     I’m going to start with a Christmas song from Ireland’s TISC Annual 2023 representatives Picture This.     Picture This - This Christmas

      Injured athletes who will miss Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

      By heywoodu · Posted

      Juniors were there recently and the track was awful   Although that's not necessarily bad. Tracks don't all need to be fast, a slow track (like the horribly slow one in Poland) simply favors a different style of athletes. Training a lot there doesn't really give much extra advantage though, not like in sliding sports where of course as host country you make sure your athletes know every single meter a year before the Olympics.    And to get back on topic: speed skater Elisa Dul broke her tibia and fibula in a training fall yesterday and will obviously be out of the OQT and so the Olympics.

      The PSL race in Davos was (yet another) insult to a beautiful discipline. The red course (which was actually yellow) had several holes and an exposed ice sheet, which made the athletes slide way too long, causing DNFs or massive time losses. The only positive note is that Caffont won despite racing on the more dangerous course in the final

      Not just Erin Jackson, but several others like for instance Joep Wennemars. Think of it what you may, it’s all down to the way the rules are written up. The rationale is probably to prevent that a rider that falls is automatically relegated to the B group.
