Topicmaster1010 2,378 Posted February 12 #154 Share Posted February 12 Looks like Pan wasn't even trying during that 200 free heat. Dead last and doesn't advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,214 Posted February 12 #155 Share Posted February 12 38-year old Kristel Kobrich qualified to the 1500m freestyle finals. What a long career for her and she's still going strong. Assuming she stays healthy she's looking to go for a 6th Olympics, tied for the most among swimmers maestro, konig, dullard and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justony 444 Posted February 12 #156 Share Posted February 12 (edited) Yes, our girls did it. With newcomer, 17 year old Hana Sekuti along Klančar, Šegel and Fain our relay is going to Paris. I hope, because we already had one misfortune, I can't recall for which Olympics, where they misinterpreted qualification and end up missing Olympics just a couple of weeks prior. EDIT: One more fact, this was first ever 4x100 women relay performance by our team, previously they only competed in 4x200 twice (with Isakovič in 2007 and 2009), and already first final. Amazing.

JoshMartini007 2,214 Posted February 12 #157 Share Posted February 12 (edited) Not to be the bearer of bad news, but Slovenia needs either one more person to get an OQT or qualify another relay or else they are at risk of losing the relay quota. This is because they have only qualified one woman and qualifying one relay only gives you 2 relay-only athletes so they won't have enough athletes to form a relay. Same thing with Serbia on the men's side. Edited February 12 by JoshMartini007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Bun 384 Posted February 12 #158 Share Posted February 12 Fink takes the 100m breast title. Peaty looked poor in the last 50 and had nothing left to hit back at Fink and Martenenghi, worrying times heading towards Paris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangehair43 177 Posted February 12 #159 Share Posted February 12 I think era of doing well in swimming will end soon. Because of the funding issues 4-5 medals or more is needed in Paris and I am not sure that is coming. Being in primetime will add the pressure as well (Same for Athletics) - a shame for swimming that the finals in 2016 and 2021 were in the middle of the night UK time. intoronto and Adriano 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
