Victory ceremony ugh

I wonder if they even allowed the Lithuanians to file an appeal (commentators here still don't know the reason for his disqualification)...

 

Do you think it's possible that Chinese hackers disqualified Rapšys from the results system?

Commentators here also don’t understand.  I can’t believe the luck this guy have.

How come Italy and Great Britain are considerably better than France and Germany in indoor swimming?

1) This is a recent development, Italy only became good 3 or 4 years ago and GB wasn't really good until 5 or 6 years ago. France used to be better than both.

2) I think the answer is that they just spend more money on swimming. I think it also helps when you are able to swim outdoors 8 months or so of the year (like in Italy) compared 3 or 4 months (in Germany), swimming outdoors is much less depressing.

I'm old enough to remember Sun Yang having his own "troubles" on the block in the 1500m final at the London Olympics

Here they just said false start was confirmed as the reason.

I think he was disqualified because he twitched before the start, it's just weird that FINA doesn't show a replay ...

Apparently it was movement on the starting blocks.  People over at swimswam, who have no love for Sun, agree.  But I haven't seen a replay.
