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:

You are wrong, but based on your comment i don't think you are willing to admit that. His coach said that even after the first turn of his 800 free race he knew that it was over, because Wellbrock didn't use his usual technique and was too deep in the water. He obviously did much better in the 1500 free, but you can't completely turn it around in a couple of days. In the end i still believe that Paltrinieri needs to be much better than Wellbrock/Romanchuk, because they will beat him 9 out of 10 times when they still have contact after 1200 m or so. I am looking forward to hopefully another battle in 2020, especially because then the pool events will come before the open water event, so all should be at 100 %.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Simone was really below her level in realys , but now she's double world champion , really happy for her , as she proves that black swimmers can also swim at top level 

Cullen Jones hates you for thinking Manuel is the one to prove it :p

I really like the south african national anthem, it always reminds me of one of the most emotional olympic moment for me, when Le Clos won gold in 2012.

it's not a question of admitting something I don't believe in...

 

Wellbrock and his coach can say whatever they want...but the truth is that surely Florian is in good shape right now...maybe the day of the 800m free heats he wasn't feeling well, but that was the exceptional situation within the overall great moment of his career, not viceversa (the 800m being the standard and the other 2 races some kind of miracles)...

a bad day can always come, even when you're in top shape...but you can't make 2 "miracles" in a general status of bad shape...

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
