Who knew that a Romanian boy will beat Cielo's WR?  Dressel should have extra motivation now, otherwise he is about the get used to the silvers in the freestyle

Popovici No words to describe the feelings in Romania. I guess all of you know how huge is the happines here

Another European final for Theodora Drakou, this time in the women's 50 backstroke 

She's finished 4th/5th at least 4 times in her career, but never won a medal. She said that is the one medal she is chasing which is why she continued after Tokyo and will swim until Paris.

 

Sadly I don't think she has a chance to win a medal in the final but you never know!

@phelps Do you happen to know who is the TV director here, and whether or not they have ever been involved in broadcasting swimming in any form?

 

They are missing so much with all kinds of weird angles and long underwater shots and it's swimming, of all things, it can barely get any easier to make sure the race is easy to follow.

Same in Munich, all sorts of weird non-standard camera coverage

as far as I know, there are 2 different crews, one for the International feed and one for the Italian home broadcast...

 

the International feed director most likely has never been involved in any swimming tv production, because the only national meets broadcasted on our TV are our National champs and the name of this week's director is not the same of our usual swimming broadcasts...

 

by the way, I agree with you and @Grassmarket...awful tv production in all the sports so far...

Have the GB team pulled out? Maybe Covid? Seem to be a lot of DNS today?

 

(Admittedly I haven’t really been paying attention)

 

EDIT: Never mind. They’re back in action
