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.

But all of these things are so much alike. The world championships aren't even over yet and I already have no idea who won what :p I know Australia won some.

Want to bet?

None of the Canadian swimmers look their best except Mac Neil and perhaps Oleksiak. 7 medals is amazing considering that.

Pickrem?

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

Please no 4 x 200 medley relay, would be even less exciting than the usual medley relay. Why not introduce a 4 x 400 m relay ...

She's said in each interview that she's not happy with her times.  Still PBs in the finals and medals around her neck, so as a viewer I'd say she's doing her best.  But according to her she can do better.

No way he would have a chance next to Kenderesi... Kenderesi had quite an unlucky WC... A swim-off, a knee injury, coming back to Hungary a surgery is waiting for him, then Milák destroying Phelps record must have been demoralizing for him.

 

Cseh Laci will go down in the history books as forever 2nd behind Phelps. Poor thing. :(

His chances for an olympic gold are definitely over. There was nothing he could have done in 2008 when he was at his best, because Phelps was just a bit better in 3 events. His best chance would have been the 100 fly at the 2012 olympics where it took only 51.21 to win gold.

Personally, I really like relays but I find the 4x100 and 4x200 redundant.  It's always the same countries winning medals.  However, now that Canada wins medals in these I think they're the best thing ever and should stay on the program.  :d

I think that's what most swimmers say when they don't win gold. It will be hard enough for her to defend her medals next year, but i think she should drop the 200 breast. In both IM's she has a realistic chance to win minor medals.

I fail to see how an athlete wanting to improve is greedy, or deserving of negativity.  Wanting to do better is a good thing for everyone.

      Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2025 - 2026

      By copravolley · Posted

      In last year, we were were happy with Brignone's wins, and today we're excite that della Mea is in the top 10... It's hard to imagine a bigger fall... And Goggia should give up on the giant slalom and focus on the speed events – Vonn isn't wasting time on the giant slalom, but is training for downhill and SG. Goggia last one finished on the podium in the giant slalom in march 2018, and she has no any chance of winning an Olympic medal at the regular competition. It's a waste of time and energy to finish 8th or 9th and risk injury. And we have to accept that without Brignone, we have no chance of winning a medal in the giant slalom in Cortina, and that's it.

      Some surprises and fun results so far at this year's Worlds. Like a few minutes ago, when  Harrysson made the 1/8 with another very good performance. Now he plays Jonny Clayton, who this afternoon made a stellar performance in a tough battle with Zonneveld. I don't see an easy match for Clayton, even though on paper he would have wished such an opponent for a 1/8 before the tournament.   Also i'm delighted that my fav Gary Anderson seems to be in good form, though at his age, he is prone to sudden bad matches at any time.
