There you go. I'd like to read Chinese media, I have a feeling he'll be declared a legend there.

3rd Italian record of the evening! Congrats Scozzoli

Why do Italians swim NR's at major events? Take the Dutch example: one swims NR's and PB's at minor events, much better! And then stays far away from it when it matters

Duncan Scott and Mack Horton are my new idols. It is just so sad that they feel the need to do this, because they don't trust FINA to do the right thing.

Apparently FINA hasn't learned anything from what happened to UCI some years ago.

Sun acting like a little bitch on the podium, surprise. If there's one swimmer who is one day gonna get his teeth knocked out...  (not saying anyone should, just saying it not be undeserved  )

 

the problem is that the opposite (Sun getting someone knocked out) is a lot more probable...

Park Tae-hwan also got disqualified for faulty start in 2012 (but got reinstated later).

 

I'm surprised that they didn't at least postpone the medal ceremony.

 

Fina has to pay the bills somehow.

because once in our lifetime we've got the right timing in our set-up...

 

but normally it's not the case (see the Rio flop, except for Paltrinieri/Detti)...

Why do you think that?
