Well, some good news at least And the 25k starting at 14.00 seems fun, after-dinner open water swimming Spoiler Edit: just realized I'll be having dinner in a restaurant, so forget about the last part, I'll watch that later 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!

Vektor 3,196 Posted August 19, 2022 #162 Share Posted August 19, 2022 LOL, the Team Event is back on the schedule, it will be on Sunday. Don't ask me how some of the swimmers will do the 10km and the team event on the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ask me how some of the swimmers will do the 10km and the team event on the same day. everything's still TBC, in any case... forecast is not that promising... and some swimmers are trying to make their voice heard and said that the races shouldn't be held with such kind of waves (Paltrinieri being the leader of them)... I was sure that the pool specialists were going to complain if we really went back to the old glory days of Open Water Swimming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they won't be allowed, just like apparently nobody is allowed to do both the 5k and 25k today even if they wanted (like Van Rouwendaal).

The team event will be a joke if they won't allow them to do both. Everyone would choose 10k over the team event if they have to.

heywoodu 13,742 Posted August 20, 2022 #166 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Oh this is looking fantastic with the waves and all, it's kind of like one of them big wave pools Let's go!

Vektor 3,196 Posted August 20, 2022 #167 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Well, that's a disappointing 5k for us. It seems Rasovszky is still struggling to find his former strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your question caused me to go on a google rampage and I found some info. Arijus Pavlidi was born and raised in Vilnius, Lithuania, he has now moved to train in Thailand. His grandpa was Greek and moved to live in Lithuania. My nickname also means Macedonian in Greek Interesting about his grandfather. Pavlidis is a very common Greek surname btw. For example we have a footballer on our national team with that name, he scored for AZ Alkmaar in each of their last two European matches this summer. Also we have a male discus thrower with that surname, he finished 4th a couple weeks ago at the U20 World Championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,196 Posted August 20, 2022 #169 Share Posted August 20, 2022 This 25k race is the biggest clusterfuck I have ever seen and so is the broadcast. No one has any idea what's going on. CCB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,196 Posted August 20, 2022 #170 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Um, wtf did just happen? Nobody has any clue, apparently not even the swimmers What an absolute joke from the Italian organizers, not worthy for the European Championships.
