So I've been meaning to comment on this thread but haven't found time until now. I'll give my thoughts in reverse order.

 

:AUS Australia is definitely taking gold in the women's 4x100m freestyle relay unless they get DQ'd. Their sprint freestyle depth is absolutely insane that they could still win gold with their B team.  I'll say Gold: :AUS Australia; Silver: :USA United States; Bronze :CAN Canada

 

The men's relay could be more interesting. The US should be the favourites on paper but Italy is on the rise and I would also expect Australia to give a better performance. Great Britain should also be in contention and if Russia is allowed back, they'll be in the mix as well. So for now, I'll say Gold: :USA United States; Silver: :ITA Italy; Bronze: :AUS Australia

 

Now the Women's 400m Freestyle could be the event that I look forward to the most. Aduel between Titmus, Ledecky, and McIntosh (and maybe even Li) will be really exciting. I voted for McIntosh to win because because I'm Canadian and I think she's on an amazing trajectory right now. She's already on Ledecky's level and she might overtake Titmus soon as well. So my prediction is Gold: :CAN McIntosh; Silver: :AUS Titmus; Bronze: :USA Ledecky

I wasn't paying attention so I missed these polls. Bummer.

 

Women's 400 free

 

1. Ariarne Titmus

2. Summer McIntosh

3. Katie Ledecky

 

It'll be very close though and I might be a bit biased putting Titmus first. Post Paris I expect McIntosh will ecclipse Titmus.

 

Men's 4x100 free

 

1. Great Britain

2. United States

3. Italy

 

GBR for the upset.

 

Women's 4x100 free

 

1. Australia

2. United States

3. Canada

 

Australia to win again but United States are going to improve a lot.

Thanks for your vote, anyway!

 

It looks that it wouldn't change the final outcome of this poll if you voted on time (if I have counted it right). No worries then.

 

Greetings!

    • People keep keep saying that Trump is Hitler reincarnated, but all these Day 1 proposals are sensible & unifying.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08IIenrXCRQ     NB video is a parody.  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons  
    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
