Josh 6,995 Posted February 14 #227 Share Posted February 14 (edited) Wish it would’ve happened with McSharry instead. I don’t like Wiffen he’s way too cocky. Edited February 14 by Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,663 Posted February 14 #228 Share Posted February 14 If the Poles are smart, they put Krzysztof Chmielewski in this 200m fly final instead of slightly slower Micha.

heywoodu 13,663 Posted February 14 #229 Share Posted February 14 (edited) Chinese anthem for a Hong Kong gold Is that a similar thing to Taiwan appearing as 'Chinese Taipei' in the world of sports, despite people knowing it's actually Taiwan?

Chinese Taipei has its own song for gold medalists, but its not the ROC national anthem. That was all part of the deal with the PRC to allow Chinese Taipei to compete - they could not use their official national anthem (or flag). I would assume this was also the anthem pre-1949.
