They have only golds till now! 4 individual golds from 4 athletes. Only 1 out of these is Hosszú... Last time we had such a good WC was back in 1991. Very good, but I'm more happy for so many finalists and relay quotas. Quite unusual for Hungary standards. thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicsFan 783 Posted July 25, 2019 #969 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Another sad day for german swimming. Hentke missed bronze by 0.26 seconds and Heintz missed bronze by 0.08 seconds. With Ledecky back i don't see Köhler winning a medal in the 800 free and Wellbrock probably won't even make the final in his current shape. For now i will remain hopeful for next year, Wellbrock should be a medal contender in 2-3 events and Köhler could also challenge for some medals, in addition to that Heintz, Selin and Hentke could also become medal contenders depending on how the next 12 months go. I am hoping for 4 medals in pool events and 1 or 2 open water medals, which would be 5/6 more medals than in 2016 and 4/5 more medals than in 2012.
