Swimming at the Aquatics FINA World Championships 2019


Recommended Posts

What an unexpected gold from Kapás! I still think that the gold in Tokyo is unlikely (I mean, her time wouldn't have been enough for the Top4 two years ago in Budapest), but I hope that she will improve and get a medal next year.

She really needs to focus on the 200 fly from now on... She won't have a chance against a healthy Ledecky, she got a bronze already, let's go for that fly medal. She has a chance but needs to improve the time.

Watching women's 200 fly makes me so sad. With this time you shouldn't even win gold at junior worlds. The fact that Kapas won gold says it all, she probably can't believe her luck. Also the usual choke from Hentke, based on her training times she should have gone way under 2:06, at least she got it right in 2017. Congrats to Hungary still, i really believe they have the potential for 3 swimming golds in Tokyo and even after that (when Hosszu retired) they will have at least 2 medal contenders in Kesely and Milak.

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

Dressel v Chalmers what a fantastic final. Dressel is just a champion and an all round nice person. He left Chalmers to do too much in the end. Other than that it's been a good champs so far for Australia.

    • Handy geography lesson.  
    • We´ll see. anyway, I hope hope so.   It was her first career senior bout, maybe a bit too early, to be thrown in the lion´s den, but if all this will result in a medal in LA 28 I am all in

    • @hckošice, even though Tomankova lost, she had a good fight against Costa, I think soon she and Babulfath will be the stars of -48kg. 
    • Yes.   The event has been cancelled due to the accident.
    • Damn...   That's Clement Noel's Red Bull event of Sunday I think?

    • Yeah, we have such a strong crop of Juniors, that we can’t take them all. They all have exciting trajectories but to predict what Junior swimmers will is always difficult. Better to let them all swim together at Juniors than rocketing them all up to seniors and swimming a prelim and going home.
    • Hanlon is the most unlucky, in my opinion. Aside from relay cover, she's the 50m champ and they made a point of including consideration for those events being in LA for the other discretionary picks. Essentially she has the same case for selection as Max Morgan (albeit without the trajectory right now).   Blocksidge's form was way off this week (compared to her previous bests). Obviously being still young you could put that down to relative inexperience. Still, she has World and European Juniors that she could still be selected for this summer. There's an argument that performing well at those might be as beneficial as going to Singapore.   That said, I'm happy that they did take a bunch of discretionary picks. That's not always been the case.
