OMG. I'm shaking!! Titmus 🐐

What a swim for Titmus  

 

By the way, does an all-time ranking exist somewhere in swimming? Like World Athletics has this one, where one can see the fastest/best athletes ever (with only everyone's best performance) and the fastest/best performances ever (with multiple performances for athletes):

Does something similar exist in swimming? So if someone swims, say, 3:56.80, we can say "that's the Xth fastest time ever"?

Titmus with a WR and a triumphant return to the big stage. And that is a big WR   Tokyo nightmares have returned for the others.

 

Ledecky started very slow, but it didn't matter at the end either way. McIntosh sinks, which posts a few questions.

I'm surprised Fairweather got a medal out of this I was expecting it from the 800 not the 400.

Summer just trying to fit in with Canadian athletes and finish 4th.  

 

Another homegrown disappointment...

 

Probably won't get any golds here.  Hopefully can rebound for Paris.

McIntosh should have stayed in 200 IM instead of this.

It's juts the first event.  Now if people expected her to win 6 golds ala Phelps, then yeah, it might be a disappointment.

First outing under 4:00 for  Fairweather, moves her to #5 on the all-time list.

 AUS starts with a bang as usual, since the 400 free is as AUS discipline as any. Throw in the 4x100 women's and day 1 is always amongst their strongest. Let's see how long they will keep the lead in the table.
