Since it seems that every option I potentially have to watch swimming (NOS, BBC, Belgian and German TV) entirely ignored the 50m backstroke and 1500m freestyle finals: were they any good or is there no sense in trying to find a replay and I'd better just check the result? :p

You can watch the 50m backstroke here

GOLD for Christou in the men's 50 backstroke! :clap:

After bronze medals in the 100 in London, Glasgow, and Budapest, he finally won gold at the European Championships. I hope he can do it in the 100 too.

 

Also he has a history of swimming faster in the heats/semifinals than final, so I'm glad that was not the case this time and he was able to win gold. I believe this is only our 6th European swimming gold ever.

 

He has improved a lot the last few years, I think he has a chance for a medal in Paris if he keeps this up, we'll see.

 

 

 

 

Sad that Ntountounaki doesn't get a medal this time, 4th in the 50 fly (same result as last year) and 5th in the 100 fly (she won gold last year).

If anyone was uncertain of swimming having an abundance of relays.. It is just the third Long Course Euros for Freya Anderson and already she has 8 golds (all from relays) and 15 in total (12 from relays) with 2 other relays still to come in Rome.

Well, nobody did mention about it, but I think its still worthy to note it as girl from :BIH did win medal yesterday, which is rare when Bosnia wins medal anywhere. She is good talent or it was just random medal?

Pretty good talent I would say. Made it to the final at both 100 and 200 butterfly at world championships. Won medals in all three butterfly distances at European juniors and I believe also won 2 gold at the Mediterranean games. She's had a really busy schedule this summer so her times havent been as strong at these championships. Hopefully she can win a medal in two years in Paris.

she's a very good talent, but she's managed very poorly...

 

she competed in way too many events this summer, she should save herself for more selected appearances to be more effective...

 

 

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...

    • Cogne (ITA) has prevailed over Ulricehamn (SWE) and will replace the World Cup in Nove Mesto (CZE). This means that a total of 10 World Cup races are planned in Italy next season.  
    • What's worse there is that it took insanely long for anyone to even go there and try to help her....like, nothing happened, at all. She was crying out in pain in the pouring rain and nobody came to help, that was awful. And then someone finally went there....and just picked up her bike to move it away. Come on.
    • Pointsbet Invitational on this week!    Already a few upsets in the round of 16 with Team McDonald defeating Team Dunstone (not the biggest of the surprises, he took Team Carruthers the distance at the provincial playdowns), Team Asselin defeating Team Carruthers, and perhaps the biggest one Team MacNutt defeating Team Einarson (I will also add that Birchard suffered a knee injury recently and is taking some time off, so Walker is coming in as a replacement)
    • top athletes are still paid well enough to keep them in the country. that also means that they degrade and wouldn't be good enough for any other country
    • Thanks for reporting it! I have installed a new feature where the content of ignored users is "more" ignored than before, meaning it also does not appear in the post feed block. But something is wrong now and it "too" ignored, ignoring the whole threads where ignored users have posted Anyway no worries, no content has been deleted and hopefully it will be fixed soon.
    • @Sindo May apologies for using a wrong thread for it, but lots of threads give me this screen when I try to open them:     That is including the announcements thread and the problems/suggestions thread, where I originally wanted to post this of course, but yeah...the post thing is gone there     There seems to be some error with loading posts somehow. On the front page, this thread here for example is reported as having at least one post today, but the most recent one I see is from a week ago. Something going on?
    • Good morning everyone! Of course I would not let Brazil out of this fun tradition 🤪 so it is for sure a valid reason to find some extra time between trainings and work for.   Well, here is Brazil's choice for this years Contest. I hope that despite of giving it some points or not, you enjoy the message of the lyrics     Perfeitamente imperfeito (Hateen)   Coragem aos que tem valor Que nunca pensam em se entregar Coragem pra poder continuar E não existe nada que você Não seja forte o bastante pra vencer Por que você sabe que nunca está sozinho E eu também já vivi assim Perdido e procurando o fim Só pra fazer toda essa dor passar Mas na vida tudo o que aprendi É que a gente chora, mas também sorri E tudo sempre vai acabar bem Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seu temores, Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser E é assim que eu vou seguir, em frente Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender? E o seu ódio era o seu melhor amigo? Mas o tempo que você passou Gritando com o mundo inteiro ao seu redor Nunca te fez sentir um pouco melhor São coisas que a gente aprende com o tempo A dar valor a todos os momentos E da tristeza a gente faz sorrir Agora entendo e já parece tão certo Estou feliz e já me sinto completo Por que tenho a certeza De que não acabo aqui Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seus temores Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser É assim que eu vou seguir Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender?
