Lowered my PB in LCM 100FR to 54.80 yesterday :yes 1.74s drop on my previous best of 56.54, really happy with that race. Next up, sub 54! :fingers:

 

For my 50FR, didn't go so well, was leading then ran out of gas, and ended up finishing in 4th, although I did achieve another new PB (25.49)

 

Edited, meant to put 54 instead of 55.

Now time to switch nationality to an obscure country, and compete at the Olympics :d

Did you only look at the times in the final (for both Australia and the US)? I think there were some faster times in prelims.
 

Also:

a) O’Callaghan might not compete at worlds.

b) I think the US relays might look „a bit“ different at worlds. I expect at least Ryan Held and Torri Huske to swim in the final.

c) Too bad that we didn’t get to see Heilman at 100 % in the 100 free (he swam the 200 fly earlier in the same session).

d) Too bad that teen phenom Kaii Winkler (who sadly decided against representing Germany internationally) got injured shortly before trials. He might have had a shot at making the team.

 

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

I think the US might be even more dominant in the future than they are right now. On both sides they have multiple „freak talents“.

Men: Heilman, Winkler, Casas, Foster, Williamson, Diehl …

Women: Douglass, Walsh, Sims, Grimes, Weinstein, Hayes, Curzan, Huske, Jacoby, Smith …

 

Also interesting to „finally“ see an American teen phenom in the longer freestyle events on the men’s side. Recently the track record of teen phenoms in those events hasn’t been great (Grgic, Galossi). I guess as a Canadian you are probably hoping for a Mijatovic vs. Kim rivalry?

    • I remember a couple of years during the athletics worlds in Oregon one of the British athletes wasn’t able to enter the US due to visa issues. I feel like something similar will happen in LA, and I don’t envisage Trump succumbing to an appeal to let an unfortunate athlete in.
    • thats true. If anyone observes the US election map then he can see that Harris dominated in NorthEast states and the Eastern Coast, exactly where the big economic centres are based (New York, New Jersey, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco etc).   Also what i observe regarding politics in western europe is that Socialdemocratic/centre-left parties have become extremely pro-market and even neo-liberal and some traditional right parties have become euroscepticist and protectionist, exactly the opposite as it was in 70s-80s
    • How about this?   "2026 Winter Olympics Cancelled after USA Withdraw After US President is Banned From Italy Due To His Criminal Convictions"  
    • Yeah, Trump is very pro-Olympics. I imagine he's pretty excited that he will get to open the games   Visas for some nations have always been tough and I do imagine some qualified individuals will fail to enter the United States (regardless who is President), but the IOC will likely sweep it under the rug.
    • This is reaching the climax now. If Khelif's lawyers take this to court then they have to believe they can win the case. If the case gets quietly dropped before it goes to court you can assume they have no confidence in winning
