Not smartly done, financially

Sjöström wins gold in the women's 50m freestyle, just 0.01 off her WR which she set in the semifinals.

[phelps 7,670]

by the way, Meilutyte and Jack's medals are the worst thing of the championships, for obvious reasons 

 

hope sooner or later justice will be done

I believe Sjoestroem passes Phelps for most all-time individual medals in world championship history

The morrocan guy is probably the most obvious case since Mellouli. Improving your PB by 30 seconds is insane for an age group swimmer, but completely unbelievable for someone of his age. This guy has never before done anything in the 800/1500 free long course. He is mediocre at best all season long and then completely smashes it at worlds. He becomes the 2nd fastest guy ever out of nowhere (ahead of guys like Paltrinieri, Wellbrock, Romanchuk or Hackett) and makes Finke look like a turtle, who himself has always made everyone else look like turtles. I hope that the german coach finds an answer to this. Wellbrock and Märtens won't stand a chance against the moroccan guy, Finke and Short unless they go all out with their doping program as well. If they aren't willing to do that, they should just retire and save the tax payers their money.

Not exactly comparable cases.

So far GB has always won 2 medals when they had 2 individual finalists, don't see that continuing in women's 400 IM.
