And to be fair: the main thing for him should be to focus on his own medal chances. Great if that improves something for the team, but if I were him, I wouldn't put focus on team events if that costs anything individually for his best events...

They still should have beaten Germany and Canada. In the end they wouldn’t have won a medal anyways. we should have used Poggio instead of Martinenghi, not Miressi in the 4th leg...that's the capital mistake (since Martinenghi swum a very slow stint to save himself for the final) same with Ceccon...53.7 is unacceptable from him ps we will never know, but I don't think we were out of the medal race, if qualified (actually, I see only out of reach right now, maybe the but and any other team just can't go below 3.29 -and we can, also with this underperforming team) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicIRL 4,826 Posted July 30, 2023 #664 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Both our medley relay teams finished in 13th place. Hopefully it might be enough to qualify for the Olympics but it will be tight. Also I’m hoping today is the day Ireland wins its first ever medal at the Aquatics World Championships Styrka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’ll be teams gunning for that next year I think Wiffen gets a medal. Fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De_Gambassi 899 Posted July 30, 2023 #668 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I was kinda hoping to see Manaudou there to close the french relay. We desperatly need someone with a better pedigree than Salvan. Maybe next year, we could switch Grousset for Metella if he's ever to come back at his best. Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
