Very disappointing swim by Le Clos and Cseh. With his time at the european championships, Cseh wouldve won gold. You have to give credit to Kenderesi, because he didnt go out too fast. If the race wouldve been 10 m longer, than Kenderesi wouldve won the gold. Russians are the bad guys, but americans are winning all the golds, really funny to see. You really have to feel for Russia, they know that the other top nations arent any cleaner, but they cant prove it. 

No one wouldve thought that Watanabe or Scott could fight for a medal and now Watanabe might even win the gold.

So which donkey will swim 1-2 seconds slower in the Finals for us tonight?

Are you german? I could have asked the same question ... oh wait ... only one german athlete made the final, so i guess that Koch will be the lucky one. :lol:

Its really sad to see two swimming powerhouses in such a bad state. :cry:

I'm just hopeful McEvoy swims near his best, as long as Adrian doesn't win I'll be happy. Chalmers will break the WR within 12 months though, it is probably a bit too soon though, although he's swimming better than McEvoy this week.

 

Some really good finals, 200 fly for women will be extremely close imo. No real standout in that event. Maddie Groves from Aus is decent, but prone to absolute shockers when it counts. If she wins I'll be happy for her, but I wouldn't be betting on it.

 

Germany haven't had a great meet, but you have made a few finals. You will do well in rowing and cycling though, well you should.

this is unbelievable what is happening with our swimmers here, this is abnormal. I don`t know - maybe they also doped earlier like weightlifters. Kawęcki 17th? Like turtle? I have enough of it

I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it

    • This season? It's a pity that we couldn't try fight for him, especially considering our problems in the sprints. 
    • Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains. 
    • When did Kim Min-Seok switch to Hungary?
    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
