:FRA Leon Marchand went 59.06 in the 100m breaststroke today at the speedo grand challenge. Puts the French medley relay into medal contention.

Well maybe, but their freestyle leg is still an issue assuming Grousset swims fly. Backstroke leg needs some work too.

Grousset could actually swim freestyle with Secchi doing the fly if he confirms his progress (51.38 this season).

One other "just good" 100 FR guy would be great though.

How so ? Both Tomac and Ndoye Brouard were finalists in Fukuoka on the 100 and their splits during the medley relay were pretty even with most of the pack.

Their splits were pretty respectable yeah, but they’re going to need to find something more if they’re going to challenge for the medals as the Paris final will almost definitely be faster than the Fukuoka final…

 

Probably a 52 high I’d say.

Yeah think this is right. I don’t see France breaking into the top 3 as it stands.

The final in Paris will be a step up from Fukuoka looking at the progression of some squads, e.g. GBR who I didn’t have as medal contenders but the progression of Morgan and Peaty puts them bang in the frame (all hopes on Jimmy regaining his fly ability!)

    • I think she’ll get top 6, but no podium. With the amount of medal contenders that we have, there’s gonna be some disappointments (In Beijing we had Kingsbury in moguls even with the silver, Dubreuil in the 500m, men’s ski cross, curling, and our men’s hockey team as the main ones)
    • Let me be clear:  I don't want to promote this product, this drink. That's not the case.   I'm interested in who's competing in Team RB because i think this company gives a lot of money to the athletes and i wonder if they can benefit from it... how many of them will get medals?
    • No medal for Loutitt???   You don't hope for it???
    • That was the same for me. And it's obviously too early, just for fun. Now it's more like predictions for 2024/2025 winter sports World Championships than 2026 olympics actually...   And still - it was done before 24/25 world cup events in some sports started (e.g. nordic combined, downhill and super-G in alpine, skicross etc...)   so it will have to be updated for sure...
    • Day 1   A lot of these predictions are what I’m hoping for, honestly    Speed Skating - Women’s 3000m Gold-  Ragne Wiklund Silver-  Ivanie Blondin Bronze-  Joy Beune   Snowboard - Men’s Big Air Gold-  Taiga Hasegawa Silver-  Marcus Kleveland Bronze-  Red Gerard   Alpine Skiing - Men’s Downhill Gold-  Marco Odermatt Silver-  Aleksandr Aamodt Kilde Bronze-  Andreas Sander   Ski Jumping - Women’s Normal Hill Individual Gold-  Eva Pinkelnig Silver-  Sara Takanashi Bronze-  Nika Prevc   Cross Country Skiing - Women’s 10km and 10km Skiathlon (Confused on the format and favourites… might not be the best of guesses) @heywoodu does this look fine?  Gold-  Jessie Diggins Silver-  Frida Karlsson Bronze-  Krista Parmakoski    1-2-0  1-1-0  1-0-1  1-0-0  1-0-0  0-1-0  0-1-0  0-0-1  0-0-1  0-0-1  0-0-1
    • M downhill on the first day A blue ribbon event The BEST event for me it's good that it's on day 1 - a nice thing to begin with   but...on the other hand... it's all downhill from there
