Very happy for :GRE Christou making the 100 backstroke final after being so close in Tokyo and missing out :clap:

 

He has a huge chance to make history in the final with a medal but it will be very difficult...

 

Also very sad for :GRE Makrygiannis coming in 9th, missing the final by 0.02 seconds :cry:. So close to having two Greek finalists! However he is young and if he can keep improving then we may see him in the final in 2028 :)

Since nobody mentioned him yet, just want to give a mention to :JPN Tomoyuki Matsushita who set a PB by 1.5 seconds to get silver behind :FRA Marchand in the 400 IM including beating "guaranteed silver medalist" :USA Carson Foster. Japanese swimmers have had a tendency to underperform at the big meets so it's nice to see him step up to the occasion.

 

 

A user named „yamatake“ on SwimSwam predicted his medal. Apparently his coach Norimasa Hirai has had medal winning athletes (Kitajima, Hagino) at every Olympics since 2004.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Looks like :ISR Gorbenko peaked at the Mare Nostrum competition this year. She's out of the 400m IM final. So is last years world championship bronze medallist :AUS Forrester.

:AUS Sam Short misses the final

His injury or illness that he’s had over the past few months has obviously completely screwed him over. Massive shame

As expected, the men's 800m freestyle heats were a complete bloodbath. Despite the slow pool, 7:44.59 was required to make the final.

 

1. :IRL Wiffen - 7:41.53

2. :TUN Jaouadi - 7:42.07

3. :ITA Paltrinieri - 7:42.48

4. :AUS Winnington - 7:42.86

5. :USA Finke - 7:43.00

6. :GER Schwarz - 7:43.67

7. :ITA de Tullio - 7:44.07

8. :FRA Aubry - 7:44.59

 

Notable misses: :AUS Short, :GER Wellbrock, :UKR Romanchuk, :BRA Costa

 

The qualifying time for this event in 2028 now goes from 7:51.65 to 7:48.90.

      It's funny how for basically every World Cup event we have the TV cameras on the left side of the hills. Yet for every Olympics they always have them on the right side  Definitely need time to adjust.

      Draw for the 5.000m Men (tomorrow 16:00 local time) is out: https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/results/ssk/st/m/5000m-------------/fnl-/000100--/race-result   After Lollobrigida’s incredible performance today, it’s honestly getting hard to bet against the Italians on home ice. That said, I still think Ghiotto’s real shot at Gold is the 10km, leaving the 5km wide open for some "untraditional" countries.   It’s truly bizarre to look at a start list and realize that a Czech teenager and a Frenchman are the heavy medal favorites, while the Dutch, who used to own this distance, can barely be called outsiders anymore. If you had told me a few years ago that this would be the state of the 5000m, I wouldn’t have believed it.   My prediction for tomorrow: Sander Eitrem - The heavy favorite after shattering the World Record this season with a historic 5:58.52. Timothy Loubineaud - A massive challenger who briefly held the World Record himself earlier this season with a 6:00.23. Metoděj Jílek - A serious gold medal contender, but I’m worried this is the first time he’ll truly feel the weight of expectations from his home country after his breakout results. Casey Dawson - A podium regular this year who is a strong contender for the top five. Ted-Jan Bloemen - The veteran master of the long distances who always finds an extra gear on the big stage. Davide Ghiotto - Facing massive home-crowd pressure in Milan to keep up with the younger generation. Chris Huizinga - Currently looks like the strongest hope for the Dutch guard. Alexander Farthofer - A rising talent who has successfully pushed his way into the top tier this season.   Riccardo Lorello - Another Italian hope looking to capitalize on the home-ice advantage. Gabriel Groß - A solid mid-pack contender who has delivered reliable results throughout the winter. Fridtjof Petzold - Has shown steady improvement and is now occasionally a fixture in the top half of the field.  Marcel Bosker - Started the season incredibly strong at the Dutch Championships, but hasn't reached that level since. Michele Malfatti - A home favorite who has been hovering just outside the lead group all season.  Bart Swings - His legendary engine remains world-class, but his main focus is on the mass start. Felix Maly - A consistent performer who provides a solid benchmark for the field.  Sigurd Henriksen - Part of the deep Norwegian squad with the potential to surprise if others slip up. Stijn van de Bunt - A massive breakout talent, but the Olympic depth makes moving up a huge challenge.  Shomu Sasaki - A promising young skater gaining valuable experience on the world stage.  Liu Hanbin - Honestly surprised to see him on the start list after that tough injury. It will be a victory just to finish.  Peder Kongshaug - Finished dead last in his only A-group appearance this season and hasn't raced a competitive 5k in months. He's a 1500m specialist who might lack the form for this distance right now.
