Is it true, that Milak has disappeared and the Hungarian OC doesn't know where he is?

Smart ass that much, right ? The 'majority of the world' couldn't give a single fuck about the depth of an olympic swimming pool, only armchair experts that wake up two days before the Oympics do (well, pretend to do), but it is of zero importance obviously. It was not like it was a kept secret that would have been magically revealed right before the Olympics. IOC, FINA, national federations perfectly knew about the depth of the pool for years, and none of them ever complained about it, specialy as it was in line with the then regulations.

I guess SwimSwam are armchair experts because they reported on it.

Any idea when the start lists for the heats are going to be published?

The heats are up on the Paris website now. Here's the women's 100 fly for example.

Dude what is your problem? You're being SO DEFENSIVE for no reason.

It's a topic of conversation now because swimmers have complained about it now. You posted one article in French as if that was some "proof" that the entire world knew 4 years ago about the pool depth and suddenly just started talking about it as a conspiracy to undermine the Games or something.

 

Yes, it meets the minimum standards, but no, it is not the ideal standard for a competition pool. Some swimmers aren't happy about it. That's just factual. Chill.

Now he will look stupid if he doesn’t make the podium. Will he be part of the mixed medley relay alongside Shayna Jack?

Australia has 2 significantly faster 100 breaststrokers so very unlikely he’ll be in any relays
