Laon Kim (14 years old) has broken all the NAG records in the races he has competed in. Many believe he is the "next Summer Mcintosh"

Who exactly believes that? The probability of him becoming as great as McIntosh is extremely low. His freestlye times are very good, but he hasn't shown much in other events. McIntosh finished 4th in Tokyo as a 14 year old. Kim would have to qualify for Paris and final there in order to remotely justify this comparison. I think that he will have to be able to swim the following times if he wants to final in Paris:

50 free: 21.7 (His current PB: 23.55)

100 free: 47.8 (His current PB: 51.05)

200 free: 1:45.5 (His current PB: 1:52.82)

400 free: 3:45.0 (His current PB: 3:56.79)

800 free: 7:45.0 (His current PB: 8:17.16)

1500 free: 14:50.0 (Couldn't find his current PB)

He will have to drop an insane amount of time within the next year if he wants to be on the same trajectory as McIntosh was.

Watch out for her in the next few years, she's our version of Summer McIntosh and is the next big thing in women's long distance swimming. She gave Freya Colbert a run for her money in the 800, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if she gets the worlds consideration times and Olympic standard times for both 800 and 1500.

I guess that means that after Paris 2024, Santo will probably decide to switch over to Japan :JPNfor LA 2028 :lol:

On day one at Aussie Champs Mollie O'Callaghan produced a world leading time (52.63) in the 100 free followed closely by Shayna Jack (52.64) and another four swimmers in the 53 zone (McKeon, Harris, Wilson and Campbell).

 

The biggest shock was Sam Short also producing a world leading time (3:42.46) in the 400 free!  🔥🔥

    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA
    • and Artistic Gymnastics is "Sporting Gymnastics" while Rythmic Gymnastics is god know why "Modern Gymnastics" 
    • and a brief look to Cortina village    
    • We call it beauty skating, if we're using the literal translation. 
    • Our delegation are a bit surprised there no chairs nor tables in the rooms though  You not use tables in Italy ?   
    • In Milan we share the building with no one else than     &       In Cortina we share the place with  
    • impossible, there are not enough venues in both towns and I mean, Milan doesn't have an Olympic Stadium, a decent Tennis Complex and a big Swimming Complex (not to mention the sea) Rome, on the other hand, doesn't have a Rowing/Canoeing Basin nor arenas and stadiums for the team sports beyond football and rugby there's no chance that all those venues would be built from scratch, meanwhile if we use both cities we already have almost everything we need, especially the most expensive and controversial sites

    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
    • Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)
