Really weird comment. 
1) There is no reason to consider Titmus the favorite in the 400 free.

2) You say that you trust McIntosh more than Smith but not enough to beat Titmus in the 400 free (despite swimming a world record this season and being much younger)? In 2021 and 2022 McIntosh improved by more than 2 seconds from trials to worlds/Olympics. I would almost be shocked if she wouldn’t go 3:54 at worlds. 

So what about that now? :p

it was in the air after the crazy 95 meters he swum yesterday in the 100m race

I'd rather say he matured at a very young age...then he went through the classic "sticky" phase when he couldn't even catch up with his fellow "patriot" Rylov anymore

now he's back improving (and not by a small margin) in this particular period when all the Russians should be supposed to face enormous troubles because of the Country's situation

obviously I don't have any recent proof (because we all know what they were doing between 2008 and 2014...and I don't think anything has changed since then out there, given that nothing has changed in their ideological and political leadership...and however, it's not me that should investigate on that), call me biased, do whatever you want, but please, don't ask me to trust any (and I underline ANY) Russian athlete in any sport

I am still shocked, but good for you. A shame that you didn't enter the prediction contest.

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

Šidlaukas was 0.12s off the OQT in 100m breaststroke. 

 

That's unfortunate, I don't know if he has enough strength to swim a better semi or final right now.

Will be interesting to see how many entries this gets.  I am not predicting a need for enormous timetable revisions.

 

World Aquatics will debut a new open category for transgender athletes at this year's Swimming World Cup event in Berlin.

There's not gonna be enough demand for a three categories so there'll eventually be two: female and open

 

Same as the last hundred years then.

    • Basically, NOCs can attempt to qualify in additional events without gaining athlete quotas. For example, let's say a nation already qualified in the 4- and 4x, they can use the athletes they plan to send in those events and try to qualify in the 8+. That's where the extra coxswains will be used. If a nation intends to attempt to double-up they must let World Rowing know before the final qualifier regatta.   There's a good chance the quotas may not be used and will have to be reallocated. Looking at 2024, only  would have been eligible for the men while the women there's . With that said there's no guarantee they would have wanted to double-up their athletes.   In reality we are more likely to see the reverse, nations who qualified in the 4x, 4-, or 8+ doubling-up athletes for the 1x, 2x, 2-.
    • Hey everyone, how are you all?   Reading the qualification document here and the "3 quotas for additional coxswain" is very confusing to me. Can someone (try to) explain to me please how those quotas will be assigned?    Thank you so much

    • In a country as big as , the odds of Olympians being close to you are quite small; however, once I realized several months ago that even a state as small as mine hosts Olympians on occasion, I decided to scour each sport's calendar to make sure I caught them when they come around.  That led me to the middle of nowhere in my own state today, where there was a 4* Eventing competition, featuring a couple of Olympians and/or World Champion athletes.   Most all the athletes here were local or from USA, but there were a couple who compete for   or .  When we walked up, I had no idea what I was doing.  I thought I was in the right arena at the venue, but I didn't really see anyone there.  (There weren't any stands full of spectators, nor did I see any judges...it was time for dressage.). One of the ladies turned around and we struck up conversation.  Turns out I was in the right spot, and they were just on a short break.  She directed my attention to the upcoming athlete, Caroline Pamukcu.  Thanks to my research ahead of time, I knew she was on the Paris 2024 Eventing Team.  The lady we were talking with was the owner of the horse Caroline was riding.  After she finished with her dressage round, she got off the horse and was just standing there talking with her crew.  We went over and had a brief chat and one of the other ladies offered to take our picture.     I asked Caroline if she was aiming for LA28, and she said yes.  I've also since shown the girls and wifey the video from her Paris 2024 jumping competition.  Hope she makes the team this year!   (Caroline has a Gold Individual Eventing and Silver Team Eventing medal from the 2023 PanAms.  Boyd Martin from the Paris team was also there, himself having a WCh Silver and three gold PanAms.  Tamra Smith, who has a Silver from the 2022 WCh, was there as well.  Waylon Roberts, who represents  and has a PanAm Silver competed.  I saw a few more Dressage rounds, then watched them all do the Jumping.  Didn't get to see Cross-Country, but they'll have another similar event in October.)
