Swimming at the Aquatics WA World Championships 2023


Recommended Posts

The Netherlands with as many medals as Germany, Hungary, South Korea, Brazil combined ... :yikes:

Crazy performance so far. I thought that 1 medal by Schouten would be possible, but now it is already 3 and Korstanje might win one as well. I don't see Kamminga doing anything next year, but the other two could repeat in Paris.

I think Kamminga is still our biggest chance for an Olympic swimming medal. After Qin and Peaty will be a bronze medal left (would be life changing or Kamminga who is used to win silver always).

 

I'm a big fan of Schouten, but with ridiculous Chikunova competing next year again, I fear there is only a place for her outside the podium. For Steenbergen it will be very hard as well. She still has to improve a lot to compete with Jack, O'Callaghan, Haughey and especially Sjöström next year.

 

But today was incredibly good for the Dutch! I enjoyed every minute of it.

I think Kamminga will be too old, he was already slower this year than he used to be. This year he was lucky that the level wasn't too high. Especially Martinenghi wasn't at his best. I don't see Peaty competing next year. I think it will be Qin for gold next year and then two younger guys (Martinenghi + X) for silver and bronze. Steenbergen is on a very good trajectory, currently i would only favor O'Callaghan and the second australian (Jack) over her. Schouten could win 2 golds or nothing at all (if Chikunov will (hopefully) still be banned). The 200 breast field looks much weaker right now.

Very entertaining chamipionships so far! And a very nice medal for Poland in 200 fly. Looking forward to the last two days!

Crazy that O'Callaghan has more golds than the US. Marchand and Qin both have as many golds (relays excluded) as the whole american team (relays included). Also Tunisia (Hafanoui) and South Africa (Schoenmaker) both with as many medals as Germany and South Korea combined. The Cayman Islands (Crooks) and Hong Kong (Haughey) both with as many individual finals as Spain.

and still it's wrong...

 

:ITA have more medals than those listed there :evil:

I think this is only for Swimming, not the whole Aquatics championships.

 

Btw, :CHN is leading the Aquatics championships with 34 medals and 20 golds (!) (although :USA with 31 medals will maybe surpass them in totals).

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
