Really disappointing result for Beck. I hope that she will learn from this and attack the next time. She easily has the speed to beat the girls who finished ahead of her, but she can't just swim with everyone else and hope to outsprint them, she has to attack at least 1 km before the finish line.

Hopefully the men's race won't be as much of a snoozefest. I am optimistic that Wellbrock or Paltrinieri will attack much earlier.

Beck is actually very happy, because her main Goal was the Olympic qualification. Understandably so, if you see, who missed it. Here's a quote: "All those years I have worked for it have paid off." https://www.24matins.de/topnews/sport/schwimm-wm-wunram-und-beck-loesen-olympia-tickets-ueber-zehn-kilometer-176022

we had one "swimmer" in the race

 

but she finished +12:51 minutes behind lol, not sure if she was swimming breaststroke or just somehow by mistake was suddenly heading to Japan

We are really a nation of very poor bad swimmers

I’m confused about the Olympic qualification talk here. I thought that 25 swimmers made the open water events, but you guys are making it sound like it’s top 10 or bust.

Well, top 10 from this championship. And 2 per NOC only if both finished in top 10 here at WC. So, only USA and Germany with 2 athletes in Tokyo.

So you can only get 1 per unqualified NOC in the world ranking?
