First podium protest if China win gold tonight.

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!

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

 

 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  ,  ,  and

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..
