top performance of the day, :CHN Xu Jiayu's 200m backstroke, swum in 1.55.24...

 

to be honest, it was really nothing special...

I don't think this format will have a long life...

Oh, it's time for a new joke... hem, a new format. Race with only 4 competitors, c'mon :facepalm:

 

I'm watching this for the first time now, and this is the most wtf thing for me. Like why only 4 swimmers. Can't they make it at least 6, if not the full 8. It seems so weird and the whole competition seems like an exhibition. :dunno:

however, despite the weird format and many reviewable (to say the least) aspects, both meets (Guangzhou and Budapest) saw some really good swimming...

 

and frankly, I didn't expect so many high caliber clockings at this point of the season...

it's written...it was the 200m Backstroke...:evil:

I am sorry. I misread the name and thought the swimmer was female. Which makes the time really good for the 200m back, hence the question. :p ;)

yes, he was well faster than Rylov earlier tonight...

unless he gets involved in some doping affairs (hopefully not, but with CHN you can't be sure), he's gonna be a real medal threat at the world champs later this Summer (and in Tokyo next year, too)...

    • Yeah. It was pretty bad that they cancel the contract with the original creative director after 7 months of work. I feel like politics, in this particular context of the changing of prime minister and the cabinet, may had caused changes in organizational decisions regarding the Sea Games including the direction of the opening ceremony. 
    • That's what I figured.  Wouldn't be a proper lead up to an Olympics without some media-fueled fearmongering.  
    • Today : Jordan 3-0 Egypt  This team will surprise us                 
    • option no.2 for sure, as it's been all this shitstorm organized by the nhl owners through their embedded reporters   ps not that the north american audience looks really aware of the hockey rules and habits outside the nhl (and around their game, too, since they look not to know that just a couple of weeks ago they played 2 nhl matches on an ice sheet of the exact same size of Milan's olympic arena)
    • Are we supposed to take Daly's word for it or is this just public posturing to try and shame the Milan organizers (which they certainly deserve for all the delays) in order to threaten NHL participation?
    • Well that was a disappointing opening ceremony. Not to mention the boss is late too...   Anyway this is another victim of bureaucracy, the initial creative director quit in October and we get this kind of show.   Original plan: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17EVayTpig/
    • Japan missed their last shot with hammer in the 10th last night against the Philippines for them to stay alive.  USA's remaining 2 games are against Philippines and Netherlands, so they have a tough road ahead, although they've already beaten Japan, so that helps for tiebreaker purposes.
    • They have already beaten Japan, so a win would them in a strong place.
