Swimming at the Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

[Federer91 3,021]

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

 

Absolutely astronomical time.

Fuck these Games. Seriously. 0.01s from the bronze. 0.02s from silver. The worst fucking 4th place of all time. We are cursed in Paris.

Nemeth wasn’t even expected to get anywhere near the medals. I get you’re disappointed with how well the Olympics has been going for Hungary so far but c’mon.

This was probably a once in a lifetime opportunity for a Hungarian medal in the 100 free. Németh is a WCh medalist in the event, we had a outside chance. It never goes our way here. Just watch the end of Norway v Hungary that we had today. This is Beijing all over again for Hungary.

Have we done a doping test before calling it a world record?

That reminds me to ask @Sindo if it's somehow also possible to hide quotes with the otherwise amazing ignore function

Better end up actually nowhere near the medals than missing a historic one by a single hundredth of a second..

World Championships bronze medalist in a depleted field. None of the top names were present. 
 

I get the disappointment being 0.01 off a medal, I’d feel the same way if it was one of our swimmers. Nemeth performed well, head up.

That’s debatable. Some people are just happy with their placement and time, and don’t care about missing out on a medal.
