:HUN Milàk wins the men's 100m Fly at the Mare Nostrum Meet in Barcelona in 50.95

 

more to come...

a couple of interesting clockings from Yesterday in Barcelona: :ROU Popovici won the men's 200m Free in 1.44.74, :ISR Gorbenko swam a new meet record in the women's 200m IM in 2.08.55

 

:HUN Milàk also swam the  men's 50m Free and ended up in 3rd place in 22.25 (the race went to :FRA Flo Manaudou in 21.89)

 

Today's the second day of the Barcelona Mare Nostrum meet: Finals just started

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 don't think France would be favourites for 3rd but I think that they are definitely in with a shout of it.

 

You've got the US and China who, on form, will be away and gone.

 

Then you've got Aus, France, GBR and the great unknown of Italy (could be gold medal contenders, could miss the final). I think the medal comes from whichever of those 4 performs on the day. France will have home crowd behind them...you never know.

Yep my comment isn’t writing them off but more to say I have GBR in 3rd behind USA and China as it stands right now. Bronze will be competitive for sure

:AUS Olivia Wunsch with a new PB of 53.58 in the women’s 100m freestyle at the NSW All Schools Swimming Championships! @dullard

Went 24.74 in the 50 as well which is a little off her PB. She's gonna drop more in both at trials for sure. 9 days to go

Y'all should donate some of your 100 freestylers to other countries so that we can have enough swimmers in the event at the Olympics /s.

Sarah Sjöström will invite to her own competition in Stockholm immediately after the olympics over all 50m short course distances with the goal to smash the short course 50m world records when the Swimmers are still in their olympic top shape!

    • KHL launches 3x3 championships with 8 teams, it starts on 19th December and finishes in July
    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
