athletics WRs is a different situation IMO , since you're fighting wind and climate changes , not like swimming in which technology also plays bigger role in breaking records

Amazing result. Two medals! Even though I'm not Lima's biggest fan, he surprised me and a medal is a medal.

Now, it's irritating how the Brazilian commentators on TV (and even male swimmers) treat both open water swimming and female swimmers.

The commentators keep repeating this is the first time two swimmers from Brazil are on the podium at the swimming championships. In 2013 Poliana Okimoto and Ana Marcela Cunha were 1-2 on the 10 km open water event.

Nicholas Santos kept saying in his interview that his bronze medal was the first medal at the championships, while Ana Marcela Cunha won two gold medals in 5 km open water and 25 km open water events.

In 2016 Brazilian media often expressed disappointment with "no medals in swimming", and Poliana Okimoto won the bronze medal in the 10 km open water event. Besides, she was the first female swimmer from Brazil to earn an Olympic medal, but few people acknowledge this.

for sure, if Ledecky is somehow healthy, Quadarella's gold becomes a silver...

 

but I wouldn't bet against Pellegrini closing her career with a Gold medal...

 

Paltrinieri could defend his title (and double it up in the olympic newcomer, the 800m free) and Detti could be a threat in the 400m free (he's just 6/100 behind Horton -and he has not had a full year of training, as this winter and early spring he was still recovering from last year's shoulder injury- and hopefully Sun will be out of contention after CAS sentence next september)...

 

but yeah, we could easily end up without any gold medal...

Don't see any realistic chances for Quadarella, Detti or Pellegrini, but if Wellbrock stops progressing, then Paltrinieri could become double olympic champion.

Not sure if you are serious about "but yeah, we could easily end up without any gold medal...", but if not, then would you be interested in a bet?

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

I can somewhat understand, since open water swimming and long course swimming is also treated separately by FINA, IOC etc. Could have it as a sidenote though, here they usually say something like "first medal in the pool at these championships".

Plus there is more prestige in pool swimming... A lot of people don't know that such thing as open water swimming even exists.

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Simulation

      By avlar · Posted

      I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?

      And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.

      Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.

      If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota?

      Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.

      Russian athletes that have changed nationalities

      By avlar · Posted

      We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.

      AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
