I still think it's a bit ridiculous to have a world series event during the Olympics. They did the same thing in 2016. Even Lac St. Jean is a bad idea.

 

yeah...I don't really understand FINA...

 

why always schedule 20% of the entire Series with no chance to have the top swimmers? :wall::hairpull:

 

Lac St.Jean is always in the schedule...I don't remember the last time they didn't have that location among the stops of the Swimming Marathon Series (nor the last time the top swimmers entered the Canadian Summer events)...:mumble:

I can't find a list of competitors. Are Sharon van Rouwendaal :NED and Ferry Weertman :NED competing?

I think so, but I'm not sure at all...

 

I only read about the Italians...

 

we have to wait for FINA to publish some news/results...and knowing how they work, if you don't watch the race on fina.tv (paid service), it's highly likely nothing will be known until the day is over in Qatar...:facepalm:

    • In my opinion we can lose to Argentina, if it's 0-1 in a moment. This Davis Cup format is a lottery, especially with the shortened doubles. It's no coincidence that all the favorites can/will can be eliminated in the quarter-finals. The second thing is that Argentina has a very solid team: 2 players in the top 30 + a strong doubles. If you sure to will win with them, you would have to have 2 Sinners in great shape.
    • Both Edin and Retornaz at 6-3 just like rank 2 and 3. Just very small margins on h2h and DSC
    • Godun has been training in Italy and Hungary for over 2 years. It's strange that she didn't take a Hungarian passport. Our predecures are so long that it probably wouldn't make sense.
    • Our worst European Men's Championship in this cycle: no promotion to the 1/2. Retronaz has been in poor form since the beginning of the season. The change of the head coach in the Italian team last spring may have had an impact. Unfortunately, the closer to the games, the worse it gets for us and it should be better because we are the organizers.
    • Sport climbing qualification system: https://images.ifsc-climbing.org/ifsc/image/private/t_q_good/prd/a0ga7v4gwmamb3gxouni.pdf
    • Daniel Huber picked up a kee injury during training at Lillehammer.   Piotr Żyła will skip the season opener because of a knee injury too.
    • Agree with you on this. The only missed category was Long Track Speed Skating where Cornelius Kersten and Ellia Smeding have done a good job getting us involved in this event again after many years absence. He won a Bronze medal at 2023 worlds but both are realistically fringe contenders and main goal is to grow the sport here.   As for our general chances by British standards we tend to do well at the various world championships before a Winter Olympics to raise hopes and then several dont quite deliver when its time. Would prefer the reverse to happen where we save our best for 2026 and help boost our Winter sports growth.
    • British Sports Journalist Awards.   Man of the Year goes to Alex Yee, Woman of the Year to Keely Hodgkinson.   Alex Yee and Keely Hodgkinson among SJA British Sports Awards 2024 winners - Sports Journalists' Association
    • Alistair Brownlee, double Olympic Triathlon gold medallist.   https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/c4g7y7ly266o
    • I suppose Lithuania qualified for women's world championships for the first time. Skip Virginija Paulauskaitė will debut at the age of 53 after she won silver medal in senior world championships. Incredible example of sport longevity
