And yes, trying to make entry lists for this contest is difficult to say the least. I have made preliminary entry lists for all events. However, many big nations haven't announced their official rosters yet, so the lists have to adjusted. I was thinking of doing up an entry list based on last year's rankings and announced rosters but if you've already done it I won't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hungary Men: David Betlehem, Balazs Hollo, Adam Jaszo, Benedek Kovacs, Richard Marton, Nandor Nemeth, Kristof Rasovszky, Zalan Sarkany (questionable), Szebasztian Szabo, Adam Telegdy Women: Ajna Kesely, Dora Molnar, Nikolett Padar, Dalma Sebestyen, Eszter Szabo-Feltothy Notable absences: Hubert Kos, Kristof Milak Japan Men: Shinri Shioura, Katsuhiro Matsumoto, Shogo Takeda, Osamu Kato, Tomoru Honda, Ikuru Hiroshima, Nao Horomura, Daiya Seto, Riki Abe Women: Nagisa Ikemoto, Ichika Kajimoto, Chiharu Itsuka Notable absences: A lot. Just going to list the biggest ones.

I'll probably mostly be tuning in to keep track of relay qualifications and new OQT's. Don't think I'll be watching the entire finals sessions like I normally do.

Werloc 3,127 Posted January 5 #47 Share Posted January 5 Glorified World cup or not, this could then be an amazing opportunity for the Lithuanians to secure nice funding and perhaps qualify a relay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous world championships barely just finished, which I guess is also a big reason why this just doesn't have that big 'feel' to it. FIFA World Cup, Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics also would be a lot less special when it's once every two years Edited January 5 by heywoodu If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

dodge 710 Posted January 5 #49 Share Posted January 5 announced it was entering two relay teams. The men's 4x100 medley and the womens 4x100 freestyle They're currently ranked 13th in women's 4x100 medley (so believe they're safe enough there). The men's 4x100m medley are also 13th but there's less than half a second between them and the 5 teams behind them The women's 4x100m free relay are currently 15th and would need to improve this time round IMO dullard and maestro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
