Lol, the pool is already getting thrashed on Swimswam because of the slow times. It might be premature but if it continues likes this, the shallow pool will go down as one of the biggest mistakes of the Paris2024 organisation. People want to see fast times at the biggest sport event of the world.

Both brazilians into the final in 400m free. A medal in my 30 yo birthday would no be a bad idea. Its Hard but LETS GO BIG DOG (nickname of Guilherme Costa, our only real contender in swimming this year).

Happy birthday! :thumbup::toast:

Screw the fast times, i want to see close battles.

 

:AUS Australia could go for 3 Golds, or just the 1 tonight. Women's relay is certain, but the men's and the W 400 not so much. 

 

I will spread the love, 1 gold each for :AUS , :USA , :CAN and :BRA

Athletes haven't just been training to win medals but to also break records. Some of them will never be in such great shape again so it's a missed opportunity.

 

In the men's sprints in particular the wavey pool is an advantage to the bigger guys.

Its a shame, swimming only gets coverage every four years. And all they can showcase is swims considerably slower than possible

For the longer term I think it's actually healthy for the sport that world records are hard to break. It's a shame of course that it's because of physical pool limitations, but I'm sure we'll still see close and exciting races. Everyone is in the same pool after all.

Yep, constant world records are awful for the sport and it's believability. It's like there is no limit..

      Fencing FIE World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.

      Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't.

      Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.

      Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.

      No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal.

      Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?

      Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.

      No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
