Swimming at the Aquatics LEN European Championships 2022


Recommended Posts

Paltrinieri's race was really a big blow for us, but we immediately made up for that with the unexpected gold in the women's 100m backstroke...

 

unfortunately the women's 50m breast are out of reach tomorrow...

 

and I'm really curious to see Popovici over the 400m free...I think he may well shock the world...

Just came back from probably the most awful concert experience of my life where I had to try to stop myself from sneezing on stage for two hours :lol:

 

Seeing Rūta Meilutytė swimming a Lithuanian record in 50m Breaststroke brought a smile on my face :wub:

Solid day for us with our guys Christou (100 backstroke), Gkolomeev (50 freestyle) and Vazaios (200 IM) all qualifying for their finals. Could be a busy day for them tomorrow as I hope they will also be competing in the men's 4x100 medley relay together and hopefully in the final there too.

 

All three of them have won European medals in these races in the past, so hoping for at least two more medals tomorrow :)

It seems Sweden took silver in diving 1m longboard. Emma Gullstrand. Italy took gold and bronze. :d

 

But isn’t there a thread about Diving or is it here we should discuss it? :mumble:

Danas Rapšys is not starting in the 400m Freestyle.

 

He said that he is unhappy with the current form and these results are not what he was training for.

 

He also added that he doesn't want to swim just to make the final and he is going to focus on the men's 4x100 medley relay, but our backstroke and butterfly are so underdeveloped, that I don't really see any glimpses of a good result.

no, there isn't a dedicated thread, but we can use this for sure (I don't think there will be many posts about diving, even if the Europeans without Russia are more interesting than ever)...

scary appearance by Popovici in the heats of the men's 400m freestyle...

 

he did swim 3.47 with such an easy, relaxed stroke...

 

I think he's going 3.42 with one arm later this afternoon, if he only wants...

by the way, last night part of the infrastructure in Ostia, where the Open Water Swimming competitions will be held, has been damaged by the bad weather...

 

therefore the Open Water events have been rescheduled and will start on Friday instead of Thursday to complete the necessary repairings...

update...

 

not only the races have been rescheduled, but also the start/finish procedures will be very different from what was initially established...

 

there will not be any usual pontoon, the start of each race will be from the beach (with the swimmers running a few meters to reach the water) and the finish will be in truly open water, about 200m from the shore (and not close to the audience, as it usually happens nowadays)...

 

moreover, not so flat sea is expected during the weekend, so we might be able to watch quite a different kind of races than the most recent events (very curious to see how the pool specialists will adjust to that, in case)...back to the old glory days of open water swimming! :d

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
