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. I doubt that Chalmer will break the world record in the next 12 months, but lets see. I dont see McEvoy winning the gold, i just hope that it wont an american or Scott, but i fear that Adrian will defend his title. Belmonte should win womens fly. My prediction is gold/silver for Hoshi/Belmonte and bronze for Groves or a chinese girl. Germany being a powerhouse in swimming was a joke, we have been horrible in swimming for many years. We made some good progress recently, but we werent able to show it here. Wierling (mens 50/100 free), Vogel (mens 200/400 free), Brandt (mens 400 free), Wellbrock (mens 1500 free), Heidtmann (mens 400 IM), Hintze (mens 200/400 IM), Köhler (womens 400/800 free) and Wenk (womens 100 fly, 200 IM) should have a good future + we have some good athletes who are in their early 20s (Vom Lehn, Diener, Heintz, Graf) and some good talents who are still too young to tell whether they will become world class or not. We will never win 10 medals in swimming, but i hope that we will be able to win about 6 medals in 2020. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,611 Posted August 10, 2016 #372 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Maybe for 2020 we can try to give Eric Moussambani a Dutch passport...it's not gonna be worse than it is now. (apart from Kromowidjojo) 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!
