Yay I missed it, but our goal has been achieved. Semifinal for Slovakia :thumbup:

 

and completely unexpected by a surprising name. Tamara Potocká in the 100 medley (What a dumb event just by thinking about :lol:) and in this occasion beat almost 23 years old NR of Martina Moravcová

 

Congrats Tamara. Well done, enjoy your semi :cheer:

I'm not sure anyone will be getting down to 45 flat.

well, Chalmers got really close...;)

 

and I also got both Grousset and Miressi at about 45.5.

 

only disappointing performance came from Popovici, but it was obvious since yesterday that he's not a short course specialist and, above all, he's not in top shape (and despite that, he was 4th, just a fraction behind silver and bronze).

 

from my personal perspective, also Martinenghi's silver is quite disappointing, more because of the time than the final position (I expected him close to 55.5 at least).

 

meanwhile the 4*50m free relay is disappointing from any POV...with Conte Bonin instead of Frigo to close down the job, it would have been an easy gold.

bad mistake by our coaches (who always insist on those internal trials between some of the boys in the heats, instead of having a fix team already before the beginning of the day).

Popovici exceeded my expectations entirely. The time he went with his physique in the small pool is just mindblowing because it favours explosiveness because of all the walls. Maybe he can take down Biedermann's supersuit WR in the 200.

 

I wasn't even expecting Australia to medal with that team but they really stepped up.

2nd Semifinal for Slovakia ! Christmas for Slovak swimming :d

 

Matej Duša made it to the 50 Freestyle semis from last possible 16th place :yes

 

Podmaníková 20th in the W 200 Breast and Lilian Slušná same rank in the W 50 free. Decent and acceptable results as well.

 

To notice also 10th place for Mixed 4x50 Free relay and 21st Nikoleta Trníková in the W 200 breast.

    • Maybe small but this is our worst performance at the European Championships since the post-Covid period and that's a fact. Germany and Norway surprised with their form here. However, only in Italy are things like this possible, such as changing the head coach of the team with less than two years to go before the home games...
    • In my opinion we can lose to Argentina, if it's 0-1 in a moment. This Davis Cup format is a lottery, especially with the shortened doubles. It's no coincidence that all the favorites can/will can be eliminated in the quarter-finals. The second thing is that Argentina has a very solid team: 2 players in the top 30 + a strong doubles. If you sure to will win with them, you would have to have 2 Sinners in great shape.
    • Both Edin and Retornaz at 6-3 just like rank 2 and 3. Just very small margins on h2h and DSC
    • Godun has been training in Italy and Hungary for over 2 years. It's strange that she didn't take a Hungarian passport. Our predecures are so long that it probably wouldn't make sense.
    • Our worst European Men's Championship in this cycle: no promotion to the 1/2. Retronaz has been in poor form since the beginning of the season. The change of the head coach in the Italian team last spring may have had an impact. Unfortunately, the closer to the games, the worse it gets for us and it should be better because we are the organizers.

    • Daniel Huber picked up a kee injury during training at Lillehammer.   Piotr Żyła will skip the season opener because of a knee injury too.
    • Agree with you on this. The only missed category was Long Track Speed Skating where Cornelius Kersten and Ellia Smeding have done a good job getting us involved in this event again after many years absence. He won a Bronze medal at 2023 worlds but both are realistically fringe contenders and main goal is to grow the sport here.   As for our general chances by British standards we tend to do well at the various world championships before a Winter Olympics to raise hopes and then several dont quite deliver when its time. Would prefer the reverse to happen where we save our best for 2026 and help boost our Winter sports growth.
