I'm just gonna leave this here

 

 

 

 

 

Swimming is my favourite sport since forever, i have been following this sport since the amazing Sydney 2000 games and the great Ian Thorpe, and have even went to Budapest in 2017 only to be able to watch a WC live for the first time, and, with the poor support and attention this sport has in my country, I never thought I could live to see the day my anthem would play in the World Championship.

 

No words for what happened yesterday.

Haha, Siobhan Haughey said she was swimming the 100m breaststroke for fun and then she wins a bronze medal

Not too eventful of a day today.

 

Great seeing Rapsys getting a medal.

 

Didn't expect the men's 100m Backstroke to be that close at the end but that was a nice race by Gonzalez to challenge Armstrong.

 

Shame that Chmielewski got DQ'd. Would've been amazing seeing both twins getting a medal.

 

Another monster swim by Tang Qianting. Could possibly contend for gold in Paris at this rate.

Congratulations. Hopefully he can improve in his other events. Perhaps he can be a medal threat at the Olympics this year or even in 2028.

Nice to see  Christou winning bronze in the men's 100 backstroke. Sure it's a weak year, but in 2022 he had the CR in the semifinals and then was a disappointing 5th in the final, so it's nice he finally got his medal 

 

Also good for  Makrygiannis finishing 4th with another PR! His progress stalled the last few years, but now he seems to be on the right path again
