That was too close for Ireland :cry:

McSharry realistically had no chance at the podium anyways, she did well to achieve a 5th place finish. King, Meilutyte, Jacoby, and Schoenmaker were always going to be 1-2-3-4 (In some order).

While I agree it was unlikely she going to be on the podium and 5th place is actually a great result, I wouldn’t say based on her semi final performance she had no chance. But again 5th is actually a great result for her and improves on her 8th place in Tokyo.

If she swam the same time as her heat or semi final, she would have won a medal

 

For sure she was behind the other 4 in favouritism, but it’s simply not true to say a medal was unrealistic.

in the women's 100m (and 50m) breastroke, it almost never happens to swim the same time of the prelims and/or semis

 

too much anxiety that affects the necessary smoothness you need to swim well in that style

They still have a good chance in the men's 800/1500m freestyle

Very impressive performance by them so far, return to the golden age of Michelle Smith. After 50 % of the individual olympic disciplines they have 2 finals, as many as Turkey, South Africa and Spain combined. Only 1 less than Brazil/Netherlands/South Korea/Hungary and half as many as GB/Japan. With a little bit more luck they could have won as many individual medals as GB.

Interesting to see that France might have the 4th most individual finals in olympic disciplines, only behind USA, Australia and China, but ahead of GB, Canada, Japan and Italy. Not too long ago their swimming program was completely dead. Sending Marchand to Bowman and naturalizing Kirpichnikov of course helped.

Golden age = 2 swimmers

 

What a time to be alive

 

You’ll be happy to hear that McSharry’s German genes (mother) are playing their part
