The disparity between our men and women is crazy now.  Only one man has even made a SF so far, and I don't see that changing.  Meanwhile our women are going to double the best medal count Canada has ever gotten all by themselves.  

 

Pratt's backstroke leg was super strong. Hopefully he can do something in the 200m backstroke tomorrow . Him and Thormeyer are both competing

It's still working for me. Go to this link http://liveru.eu and then click on the swimming world championships link on the sidebar on the left

 

It's not on the sidebar for me, I click on "others" and when I click on the FINA WC it keeps bringing me to random youtube channels.  But really, it's fine.  Italian is good for prelims.

Holy crap, Pratt is only 16 (17 next month).

Sheesh, I think it would be appropriate to put Hope Solo in the same conversation as Sun Yang for likability. 

I agree.

Jeez, I did not realize that. I guess it makes sense why he wasn't seeded in the IM.

His backstroke leg was 7th overall in the heats, .01 top 5.  Not bad.

Chimrova has a weird stroke with the breathing to the side

16 gold medals already for China.

The Italian commentator just said "Momma Mia" and thus my life is better now.

Chalk that up to an excellent diving program and a cheating swimmer
