Really dude? You consider this as a matter of race?

Salty white tears free flowing from horton's busted face after Sun effortlessly won the gold medal. It's the drama queen's fault for being a noob.

I completely support Horton’s actions in the podium. There are rare times when an athlete can just upset me in a way I hate, but Sun Yang is at the top of that list.

 

Yes, Sun Yang has always been a piece of trash. Hopefully he gets taken down in this doping investigation

Horton doesn't seem to be much different.

Yes Horton is arrogant, but Yang is a proven and vicious cheater. There’s a difference there. I’m not a fan other either, but Horton is in the right.

There's a Brazilian swimmer who recently became an American citizen, Felipe Lima. He stated in an interview he wants to represent the United States in the future. This year he represented Brazil in 100 m breaststroke. He didn't even make the cut to the semifinals. ;):lol:

Men’s breaststroke is non-existent in the US. It’s always the laughing stock of the Olympic trials.

You don't know multiple world champions, Olympic medalists and even medalists of only two and three years ago? I'm curious how you came up with 'it's the laughing stock of the trials' when you don't know the main athletes :p

Our commentators have always that it’s a weak event for us. I guess I need to refresh my swimming knowledge.

I like Ledecky but she is not unbeatable.  Very happy for the Australian girl.  Very deserving 

 

Of course she's not unbeatable, but she's very tough to beat too. This is an amazing achievement for TItmus ;)

It’s the weakest stroke for the US, but it doesn’t mean it’s a weak stroke. US swimming is so deep they can still win medals in their worst events.

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
