Oleksiak went out really hard, faded towards the end.  But that should get her into the finals anyway.

To be honest, i dont recall that particular detail. 

So, we need someone like Ibrahimovic to put him on the place he deserves.

Or Andy Ruiz. Or Deontay Wilder.

100m is endurance now?

To be fair, calling 100m in swimming a sprint is as ridiculous as the Americans calling the 400m in athletics a sprint

The only thing Pellegrini ever did for me was annoying me incredibly because of an Italian swimming fan in Barcelona shouting 'Fe-de-ri-ca fe-de-ri-ca' for what felt like hours, but apart from that I'd find it so awesome if she gets her 8th consecutive medal

But it is a sprint

 

100/200/400 = sprint

800/1500 = middle

5000/10000 = long

Hong Kong could win medals in both swimming (olympic disciplines only) and fencing, the only other nations that will achieve that are Italy, Hungary, Russia, Ukraine, GB, China, USA and maybe Ukraine/Brazil/France. Much bigger countries like Japan or Germany won't achieve that.

40+ seconds is too long for a sprint.
