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:

Back or free?

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)...
