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)...

    • Agree with pretty much everything you said and I definitely see issues with it, but it’s not cheating and I don’t think it was intentional. Cheating would be if the rule on it explicitly state that you can’t touch the rock twice/granite before it reaches the hog-line.    This leaves a lot of room for confusion and although maybe Kennedy thought he wasn’t doing anything wrong, he was a bit of a dick the way he went about it    Now, reading after these, he “technically” didn’t break any rules, but it probably should’ve be a burned rock. Then again it’s not clear enough.    I hope situations like these can be avoided in the future. 
    • Well it all started already after 2nd end and then they talked to the umpire. And the immediate reaction was to say the same accusations about Oskar instead to the umpire. this can not be seen in any other way as well rehearsed cheating.  You are allowed since a few years back to double touch the handle but you may never touch the granite. It is just like doing it with the broom further down the sheet
    • For the love of all that's holy, change the frickin' record. You haven't got a clue about UK funding decisions.
    • I just woke up. It's surprising that Malinin lost. Before the Olympics, I thought there was a 99% chance Malinin would win. I can only say that this is the charm of the Olympics.
    • I'm far from perfect but for the most part my skeletons are funnier than they are problematic - just stuff I prefer to not share on International television :P   I also don't have an SO to cheat on (...anymore, since I am a divorcé and single-ish xD )
    • Always incredible to see people freely share information that you could not waterboard out of me

    • Some words about Ghiotto: for me he doesn't have the same personality/character, like Lollobrigida- I also wrote about this yesterday about case of Wiklund. Ghiotto can only win/win medals when he's in 100% shape. Otherwise, he gives up mentally. He can't break through in a difficult moment during the race and try to salvage at least some of his race. Today, the silver/bronze medal was within reach- all he needed was to win the heat against Begrsma (when was the last time he lost to him in a 10 km race?). In my opinion, Lollobrigida had the totally different personality, that Ghiotto did. When she would a similar mental, like Ghiotto, so she have given up yesterday with max. 2/3 laps remaining and finished 4. Another thing is that even without the right mentality, Ghiotto today had his worst 10k race in over 5 years and there's no excuse for that. Unless he was sick or injured, but I don't know anything about that yet.
