There's only so much the women can do, we were last after the men went.

 

Yup.  With respect to our whole team, can't do much with the state of the men's program as it is.

But Canada looking good for the women's medley relay tomorrow.  Got the gold medalists in the back and fly, bronze medalist in the breast (if they go with Pickrem) and the defending Olympic champion in the free who just had the fastest time in this relay.

Ruck also had the 6th fastest time on her leg.  Not exactly impressive.  She has not had a great meet.

Sanchez had a faster time in qualifications (by 0.02, but still, Ruck is supposed to be the next star).

Mixed relays are useless gimmick. It's only a reason to give the power house nations more chances to win easy medals :dunno:


I disagree. I think it's important to have more team events in traditionally individual sports because this fosters partnership between athletes in the same nation. They are a team, not rivals, and this makes a huge difference. The more events we have like this, the more they will act, train and compete as a team. Besides, there's nothing wrong with providing more medal chances to the best programs in the world. I wish we had more team events in artistic gymnastics, for example.

They're spending enough time together without the gimmick mixed relays :dunno: Add the NCAA programmes and all that crap and I'm surprised there's not more beef among them. It must be tiresome to hang around the same people time and time again for well over 10 years tbh :rolleyes:   Adding team events in individual sports is useless, it's as overrated as Ryder Cup in golf.

Relays are fine, but the mixed 4x100m relays are a bit redundant, especially the freestyle one, either have gendered or mixed. I think it would be more interesting to have 4x50m relays or perhaps a 4x200m medley relay

Pilato! :yikes::yikes::yikes::bowdown:

our wonder baby seems not to be bothered by any sort of pressure...she improved her PB/NR once again in the heats...

 

and as expected, Wellbrock and Romanchuk are there, close to super-Greg (who said he's only used this morning's heat as a warm-up...I fear he not only wants to win the gold medal tomorrow, but also try to go for Sun's WR...and I'm not sure that would be a good and safe idea)...

 

the poor performance over the 800m free by both is already only a bad memory...

Wellbrock is still not at his best, i think Paltrinieri will break the world record and win by at least 10 seconds, Christiansen should win silver. Next year will be a completely different story though.

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

Nope, but I am genuinely interested in how Horton is going to pick this up (and Lilly King for example), or will they only go all-out against the big bad China and Russia?

It's not like this is the first famous australian swimmer getting caught in the last couple of years. As far as i know Horton didn't say anything about them, but of course those cases are nowhere near as bad as Sun Yang's case.

      Here you have statesmen and old leaders that's why we were the leaders back then, and the USSR fell apart.   And who said I support Trump? I have never even been in USA in my life... Personally, I think he's a clown, but he unfortunately reflects the decline of our entire Western World- of which the USA was a leader for a long time.

      Canada had a great home-boost in 2010. Unfortunately, that's not the case in us – look at 2006... We won fewer medals in Torino 2006 than in 2002 (11 vs. 13)

      Short-track is unpredictable and ridden by bullshit refs who give out weird penalties and home-advantage calls to favour the home athletes. Women’s hockey, we aren’t beating the US this time around, the rivalry series went horribly and I’d be happy if we can hang on to silver. It was that bad.    Freestyle skiing team, a lot of them have been getting injured our ski cross contenders (Hoffos, who was in the best form of her career, Sherret), Kingsbury, Oldham... Then you have Blouin, and reigning World Champion Liam Brearley in snowboarding, 2024 world champion in skeleton Hallie Clarke, and 2023 world champion in ski jumping Alexandria Loutitt who are all out injured for the season.   I don’t think you have anything to worry about, Italy will have a nice home boost and win 5-6 golds, but yeah that would’ve been pretty bad for us even before our entire team getting injured. I still view it as a disappointment either way.

      Do you have short track, freestyle, snowboardcross, hockey x2? You'll definitely win 5-6 gold medals. If you want, I'll gladly sign now for Italy to win 5-6 gold medals in February... Canada has at least 3 girls competing for medals in the long distances, and we only have 1 Lollobirigida- also quite old.

      team is seriously in shambles and I wouldn’t be surprised if we only win a few bronzes or slightly better at Milano-Cortina…   Our men are nonexistent, Dubreuil still is awful coming back from injury and nowhere near his 2021-22 form, he’d be lucky to get a top 16 finish. Jan-Bloemen is old and his 5,000m WC podium was a fluke, at best it’ll be a top 8 finish in each event. For the women, Weidemann won’t beat Groenewoud/Wiklund in the 5km/10km and Blondin with Groenewoud (probably, she beats her all the time) or Mangianello in the mass start, and Maltais can only aim for a minor medal at best. We don’t even have our team pursuit anymore, used to be by far the best and now we’re getting beaten by Netherlands/Japan…

      A true champion- van der Poel came to Beijing for 2 gold medal, and he won 2 gold there, without worrying about other people from the Netherlands: Roest, Norway, or any other country. These are the kinds of people Italy lacks.
