Ceccon not swimming the 200m Back Today, he chose the 50m Fly  

I don't really know what to expect from him in Paris in that race...I mean, imho, given his speed base and his style, he could go and swim 1.52 and destroy the field, but he basically never seriously swam the distance in full rest and who knows if his actual performance can be close to his potential?

surely, I don't understand his pre-Games strategy

So this means he won't swim the 200 in Paris? Just 100 back and relays? If so that is a huge waste of his enormous talent.

no, I still think he's going to swim the distance in Paris (and shock the world, taking gold and WR), but I don't understand his strategy in these months, he never took a shot in any official race, he's going to race the Olympic event with no feedback

 

we'll see what happens...I still trust him because he's already shown that he and his coach know what to do to be in the best shape when it really matters

23,75 - 50 Free Sarah Sjöström in Sette Colli. Good time in 100 yesterday too but she Will only race 50 + relays in Paris

I totally agree he should target the 200m. Can he swim it in Paris without the qualifying time, though?

he has the OQT, he swam 1.56.x in a random world cup meet last Winter

 

in any case, he officially confirmed he's going to swim also the 200m Back after Today's effort in Rome in the 50m Fly (once in her life, Miss Caporale has been useful)

I wonder when they will find someone to replace Caporale? For as long as I can remember (around 2000), she has always been in swimming and athletics competition.

I do really hope that some day they realize that they should get rid of those interviews right after the end of a race...99.99% of times they're just senseless, even annoying
