Swimming at the Summer Olympic Games 2016


Recommended Posts

Its too funny to see all those american athletes coming out of nowhere to win gold medals, now even some grandpa won a medal in swimming, a couple of days ago a 50 year old won the gold in womens time trial ... 

If you dont have a problem with someone like Gatlin representing your country, then you probably dont bother about all those crazy improvements by your own athletes. 

I know that Canadian/Brazilian/American athletes have a huge advantage, because they dont have to adapt to a completely different time zone, but many performances are still impossible to believe.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Clearly you're a legend of swimming if you win the 50 freestyle 16 years apart :bowdown:

    • I wonder where Romania thinks they got their second quota from then. And no reallocations at all would suggest Germany pulled back their turd, as we'd so eloquently say in Dutch, and did take them all at the end..
    • I asked a Polish journalist on twitter and he said there are no rellocations.
    • She was selected because she had enough good results that could compete in all events but had a little less FIS points than Sawicka, additionaly Sawicka's father was mad of that and he make intervention in our skiing national federation, due to this Komorowska gets very negative comments and she decided to withdraw because she couldnt handle it and said that her mental health is more important than Olympics participation.
    • and now when it is official and they already cnfirmed it, they are so scared that they still did not anounce it to the general public yet
