It seems incredible according to the Video, it is the Italian swimmer who made an obstruction on the French swimmer and not the reverse

well, really hard to judge, The Italian obstrusted and closed the way for the french, but the french stoped the italian literally jumping over her and pushing her down... a pretty tough call

The rule starboard tack, applies to sea and the French swimmer had priority. She was sent in the buoy by the Italian swimmer before the key. Strange decision except if something happen out of the tv video??

Oh, now I see it. The French swimmer really made the Italian girl dive when she pushed her weight onto her, and since she had already received a penalty, she was ultimately disqualified.

Well Rumors openly started already about Tokyo 2020, yesterday and after the trials he said that he absolutely not coming back.

 

I doubt he will get a real job, i'm sure he will go to work for nbc just like nastia liukin, or work for USA Swimming... though think about some student going to class and seeing phelps in his class.... thats hillarious

Many famous people went to university when already being famous, i recall Jodie Foster and Natalie Portman from the back of my head ...

In Germany there is also the possibility to study at an university without being physically present, in the US you would probably call it a distance university. Tons of german footballers (for example Oliver Kahn) got a degree after the end of their career, so i think Phelps should also be able to get one (if hes smart/ambitious enough). I honestly hope that he and Bolt will retire and i have no problem to say that i like him, but likewise i have to say that the most important thing for him is to find a new meaning in life, so that he wont get alcohol/drug problems again, i hope that his family will be able to hold him down to earth.

Absolutely amazing results for the Netherlands so far, dutch fans must be over the moon. I think they are on the way to their best summer olympics ever.

And Dutch double after Van Rouwendaal yesterday, today won Weertman in a absolutely crazy finish

 

Nagy 20th but only 30 seconds behind the winner in his marathon swimming major competition debut. only his 3rd careers 10km race . this is very good
