this hurts...it really hurts...:facepalm:

 

only small consolation, the German is still well far away from WR time (and I'm sure Greg next year will be ready to swim below 14.30)...

Same is true for Wellbrock who already said a couple of months ago that it will take a world record to win gold in 2020. The difference is that Wellbrock is 3 years younger and won gold here despite being way off in the 800 free. Don't even want to imagine what he could have done in top shape.

Paltrinieri will get killed by Wellbrock and Romanchuk every time (because they have a better finish), unless he can be in clearly better shape then them. If he can translate his improvements in the 800 free to the 1500 free, then the other 2 will be in a lot of trouble.

naaaa...you don't win both the 10km open water race and the 1500m free in the pool if you're not in top shape...:finger:

 

I'm sure he's at his best...the 800m free was just a mistake by him, he did underestimate the level of competition and didn't have a plan B once he was strugglig with the low pace in his heat...that's it...

 

if he says anything different, he's just playing mind games looking at the future...:whistle:

Overall still a bit disappointing world championships for Germany. With a bit of luck Germany could have won 6 medals in olympic disciplines (Men's 800/1500 free, men's 200 IM, women's 200 fly and women's 800/1500 free) + gold and bronze in open water.

    • big big news regarding Olympic bronze medalist and two time World Champion  Zurabi Datunashvili   https://ita.sport/news/the-ita-acknowledges-cas-add-decision-sanctioning-wrestler-zurabi-datunashvili-for-anti-doping-rule-violations/   to be honest everything was suspicious about this guy, his sudden improvement since 2021, his body, his sudden retirement in 2023 . its great to see him finally getting caught.   they will reallocate the medals later after the end of the process but his Olympic bronze will go to  Ivan Huklek, I think that will be the first ever wrestling medal for Croatia   his 2021 World title will go  Maskevich and the 2022 gold goes to  Bisultanov Bisultanov will benefit more than anybody else, he also gets a bronze from 2021 and  Kessidis will get a bronze from 2022.
    • After the 1st day only Dominican Republic has not win a medal.     G 6 - S 2 - B 0 -T 8  G 1 - S 4 - B 2 - T 7  G 1 - S 0 - B 0 - T 1  G 0 - S 1 - B 2 - T 3 G 0 - S 1 - B 0 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1
    • I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments.   Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.
    • If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.
    • Bologna is unfortunately is a team for the Conference League, not the Champions League   Juventus are plagued by injuries and are struggling. On top of that they have a terrible schedule in the CL. In their case qualifying for the play-offs would be a success in this season but I'm not sure how many points they will need to do that. Actually they chave 8 points.
    • Four events with medals awarded halfway into the first day, and already six NOCs are on the medal table 
    • First day of sporting action today. There's livestreams available on the official website: https://www.bolivarianos2024.pe/envivo/   PanamSports Channel should be broadcasting events as well.
    • Pretty crazy, just imagine if they won the World Baseball Classic (though personally I equate the two pretty closely).
