Swimming at the Aquatics FINA World Championships 2019

[orangeman 2,285]

This is officially Canada's best medal performance at a WC in swimming ever.  And still several chances left.  

 

Edit: Sorry, they've tied their most medals so far.

I didn't know it's common name for pets also at your latitude...

 

however, it's a nice name...so, that's why it's so popular...

 

Was Camillo a big fan of Phelps or something? We still don't know the mystery.

Another convicted doper wins gold... Amazing.

Not saying it often with dopers, but I prefer her over the act that is Lilly King.

Yasssss Tatjana! South Africa's new swimming hope. Just a shame she got beaten by a drug cheat.

Looked like either Rylov or Murphy made an extra (illegal) stroke at that last turn.

Rylov doesn't look happy for his gold , maybe he wanted Silver

no, Camillo was a fan of chicken meat (not only that, but it was definitely on top of the ranking)...

 

it's all connected with a joke in Italian language...with the way you could describe Camillo's way of walking (with soft footsteps), which in Italian is said "felpato" (from here, the sound like the name of "phelps"...shortened in "phelp" + the final "s" to make it sound more "global")...

 

and since I'm the opposite of that, being quite a big man (wider than taller, of course), often described as an elephant in the crystal shop, someone in my family started calling me "phelps" to joke about a comparison between the cat's delicate moves and my impetuosity...

 

that's how my nickname took shape...
