Well, to be fair, I do think Diving is much more interesting to watch. I like Open Water Swimming, but it's really difficult to recognize the Swimmers.

I'm not much a fan of diving because after every dive I think "that was pretty good" or "meh" and the judges score it the exact opposite :p 

 

But yeah, following open water swimming sucks. Just watched today's race and when the transponders started to screw up I rewinded again and paused and so on to see if Van Rouwendaal was still there :p

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." ht

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

Aurelie Muller should be banned from open water swimming...:redcard::spank:

 

she perfectly describes the concept of "unsportsmanlike conduct"...:facepalm::wall:

Much as I know she's kinda known for it, what did she do this time? I'm rewatching the final sprint and don't see her do anything wrong, just following Cunha and being in front of the rest :p

She probably defeated an Italian, hence unsportsmanlike. :p

I seem to remember more cases of her pushing others under and being more of a boxer than a swimmer, but I don't know against who it was :p

when chaos and the fight for the front row before the final sprint started, she jumped over her arch-rival Bruni and hit her hard once again, almost making her lose her swim glasses and leaving some signs on her face...

and she also used her typical aggressive methods also over other swimmers in the last lap of today's race...

at least we already know that the Olympic race won't be that dirty...:whistle::raspberry:

the Italians ended up 5th and 6th...with or without her, it wouldn't change anything for them...

 

she just loves to play dirty...and when the judges have enough of her and her methods and get her DSQ, she's only capable of shouting at the "Italian mafia" (see Rio 2016...someone must be really brave to call "injustice" her disqualification after what she did that day)...

I like when these "anything to win" competitors get trolled. The funniest thing is that van rouwendaal didn't even need that 10th place, she could qualify later :lol:

I remember some people were really angry because the 4th place finisher was a Brazilian swimmer, and when she got promoted some French supporters on Twitter mentioned the Brazilians "bought" the officials because the Olympics were staged in Rio. Now, you mentioned that she herself blamed Italy. Anyway, I don't really like her and I'm glad she will not be in Tokyo (and that a Brazilian beat her yesterday).

      In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA

      impossible, there are not enough venues in both towns and I mean, Milan doesn't have an Olympic Stadium, a decent Tennis Complex and a big Swimming Complex (not to mention the sea) Rome, on the other hand, doesn't have a Rowing/Canoeing Basin nor arenas and stadiums for the team sports beyond football and rugby there's no chance that all those venues would be built from scratch, meanwhile if we use both cities we already have almost everything we need, especially the most expensive and controversial sites

      https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)

      Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)
