OlympicsFan 783 Posted July 16, 2023 #31 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Paltrinieri seems to be using the same strategy as his training partner Beck did yesterday. Let's see if the result will be the same. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Vektor 3,195 Posted July 16, 2023 #33 Share Posted July 16, 2023 First ever WCh medal for Raso in the 10k, two years after his Olympic silver. We really needed this considering our situation in the pool. Styrka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not quite correct as the DSV in Germany has tightened the criteria for the Olympic Qualification. Basically all achieved quotas in the pool are worthless and the swimmers have to reach the quota again in April 2024. Only exceptions are swimmers that reach Top4 at the World Championships 2023 or 2024. So in fact these are first real German quotas in swimming.

So in fact these are first real German quotas in swimming. but that's the same for most of the top swimming Nations although, here we have to take notice of the official quota places awarded by the IOC/FINA rules and because of those, there are a few swimmers that technically are already eligible to start the Olympic 10km race, even if they're not sure to go to the Olympics because of their own National rules (stricter than the International's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicsFan 783 Posted July 18, 2023 #40 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Paltrinieri much closer than in the 10 km race. Could be seen as an encouraging sign. Really weird that Klemet (and Romanchuk) were so far off. Klemet was clearly better than the Italians in the 10 km race and is also clearly better over 400 m, but somehow he couldn’t be close to them in the 5 km race. Beck has proven once again that she doesn’t need tricks to dominate. At the moment she is clearly the best in the world apart from maybe Grimes.
