Also Alexy has a big swim in him if he could salvage a final spot after such a disasterous start. He really shouldn't have been able to go that time off that start!

As far as swimming is concerned, Italy's WCs are turning into a complete disaster. With the exception of Quadarella, basically everyone is performing way, way below his 2022 standards. Today has been outright atrocious, starting with this morning's heats.

Good point (I guess you weren't talking exclusively about men?). Pilato, Miressi, Galossi, Paltrinieri, Martinenghi, even Ceccon. Maybe you could also add Razzetti and Burdisso.

Italy so far with only 5 individual finals in olympic disiplines, less than Germany. Italy could end up with less than 10 individual finals in olympic events. Even 2 years ago it seemed unthinkable, but France is clearly outperforming Italy (and might be the european number 1 right now).

our best swimmer "Sayoud"  missed this edition cause he didn't get the visa at time , they always destroy our athletes in one way or another ..anyway no one needs the embassy of Japan here , but the good thing is : he certainly avoided the contamination of Fukushima

Good thing Heilman didn't win. Wouldn't want to see the German tabloids headlining 'Sieg Heilman!'
