Leon the lion :hatoff: The third man to get 4 individual Gold medals at a single Olympics after Mark Spitz and the 5 for Michael Phelps of course.

Are detalis about her collapse known?

Great to hear she's ok!

Expand  

she is an asthmatic, after her effort she had a sudden severe asthma attack, she obviously didn´t have her medicine with her in the pool and collapsed, the paramedics came at the right time

 

The rhing I can not understand is which idiot put her in the same heat with all the likes of McIntosh etc... An Universality swimmer, she had only one goal in her mind, not being humiliated by them and thus went absolute full gaz, if you rewatch the heat, she was even leading after the butterfly leg, but then obviously started to fade completelly and last 50 meters ... yeah, she almost died in the pool... Thanks god she is safe

USA is the obvious choice. Australia has 1 very strong chance left (Kaylee 200 back), 1 solid chance (McEvoy 50 free), 1 toss up (Kaylee 200IM) and a few outside chances (Mixed medley, Titmus 800, Temple??).

 

USA has probably 8 solid chances left with 3 of them being heavy favourites. 
 

So while Australia is possible it will basically take a miracle. We need to convert every single chance and hope USA gets upset in a heavy favourite 

Expand  

The United States needs 3 more gold medals to catch up with Australia and take the lead, and there are 10 events left. In these 10 events at the last Games, the USA won 4 and Australia won 2. So, it's still possible for the USA to finish first, but it's going to be very tough.

Like i said before, USA trials were total failure this time.

They had 12-16 golds from 2004-2020. Now 4, with only 1 certain gold - 800 m W. These Games will almost 100% be their worst in recent history.

How did World Aquatics approve all 3 medley relays being held on the same day?

Expand  

I don't think it's too bad. Men's and women's medley relay prelims are in the morning and the mixed medley relay final is at night. A swimmer would have a maximum of one morning and one evening swim which is normal.

46.40 !! :hairpull:  The commentator here is saying it's the greatest swim of the past 50 years. 

 

Absolutely astronomical time.

Expand  

I'm hoping this will cause a shift back to flatter freestyle technique after Phelps' success caused many coaches the world over to teach loping freestyle.

Marchand was SOOOO CLOSE to world record :hyper:

Expand  

He'll get it next time he swims in a fast pool. Problem is unless the Worlds schedule changes he'll have to choose between the 200 breast and 200 IM.

Dressel is shockingly bad. Already suspected on day 1 in the relay, that he is not in a good form. If they hadn't given him such a big lead, the Americans would have lost that relay with him on the final leg. 

Expand  

His form isn't that bad but he doesnt have the aerobic fitness he had before so can't handle a heavy schedule with a heap of doubles like he did in the past. Now he'll rest until the medley relay so will be able to put up a big fly split there.
