Ouch, I was hoping for a medal for Deplano

Dutch commentator saying McEvoy's time is the 9th fastest ever. So my question: is it actually? Just to be sure, because the Dutch athletics commentator all the time says something is "the Xth fastest time ever", while meaning that the athlete is now "the Xth fastest athlete ever" (since athletes can of course have multiple fast times)

Give it up for <the amazing/the incredible/your world champion> <insertname>!!

Based on the World Aquatics leaderboard, it's the 10th fastest performance ever.

Nope, just checked the all-time list, and the Dutch commentator is wrong

That's the 168th individual major silver for Smith.

[Josh 13,421]

“McKeown and Smith pretty much on level terms”

 

… Meanwhile McKeown is 0.7 behind Smith 

[Josh 13,421]

2:03.33 CR for Kaylee McKeown in the women’s 200m backstroke!

 

 is on fire at the moment, two golds in a matter of 15 or so minutes
