Today the open water swimming starts, but the official timing page is rather...confusing. It says this in terms of schedule:

But also this:

With the 'Mixed' meaning that women and men both start shortly after one another. So according to one schedule today is the women's 10k and after that the men's 5k, according to the other schedule - both of which are on the same official page - both the women and men have the 10k tomorrow, and at basically the same time.

 

What's going on and who is actually going to do what? :d 

I explained what's going on with open water swimming and the bad weather of a couple of days ago in the swimming at the european champs thread...:evil: ;)

Yeah, this thread, but I think I missed that because a lot of the sessions I had to watch with a delay, so then I didn't really look here :p

Lithuanian swimming federation just shared a post with medal tables of recent swimming championships and it was nice to see that Lithuania has won medals in the last 5 European Aquatic championships, last time missing out in 2012. :)

 

Here's to hoping the next championships are going to be successful as well.

yeah, that's a shame!

 

why?

 

he would have been the main show of the last day of the championships...

 

now the Germans might get a 1-2 in the race, if Auboeck doesn't perform at his best...I don't see the Italians having anything left in the tank to be among the main contenders...

 

more news...Florian Wellbrock pulled out from the Open Water Swimming races, he said he's too tired and not very well trained after the covid issues he had to face after the world champs...

From what I heard at news, he was too tired to swim in 400m final and he wants to be in good shape for World Junior Swimming Champs in Lima. Being a long distance to swim I guess he didn't wanted to risk. Sure, for us it's a shame that he retired but for him maybe is better. He knows better:d

This is exactly why it's a terrible idea to schedule open water for the last 4 days of the Championships... I hope both LEN and FINA learn from this debacle. Open water should always be scheduled for the first half of the event.

That would mean losing out on all top pool distance swimmers. Which are the big names that make open water somewhat more interesting to a bigger audience.

 

+ would make pool swimming clashing with athletics for more days in this case.

Wellbrock had no issue with winning the 10km open water first and then winning 1500m in the second week at the 2019 WCh.

 

Not to mention that we have always had the open water in the first half of these aquatics championships, this ridiculous schedule has only been used at this years World and European Championships and only took two of these events for the weather to fuck it all up.

tbh, bad weather is the last problem you can imagine to have in Central/Southern Italy in August...

 

this time we can really blame only the bad luck...5 days of bad weather in 5 months...and it's just when the Open Water Swimming Europeans were supposed to be held...

 

for what concerns the schedule, there's always some reason behind it...in Rome, they wanted to avoid the most possible chance for swimming and football to colllide, as the stadium is in the same area of the pools (and tennis courts) and when football plays, there are always a lot of traffic problems (not to mention those idiots making a mess around football games, which is always possible)...

      In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA

      impossible, there are not enough venues in both towns and I mean, Milan doesn't have an Olympic Stadium, a decent Tennis Complex and a big Swimming Complex (not to mention the sea) Rome, on the other hand, doesn't have a Rowing/Canoeing Basin nor arenas and stadiums for the team sports beyond football and rugby there's no chance that all those venues would be built from scratch, meanwhile if we use both cities we already have almost everything we need, especially the most expensive and controversial sites

      https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)

      Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)
