Serbia with only 7 swimmers on EC :( And no female swimmer :facepalm: Best Serbian female swimmer right now Anja Crevar because of obligations at school will not be able to go. I hope for 2 finals and maybe one medal in 200 freestyle and A standard for Lendjer on 100 bf.

SWIMMING

  • Rūta Meilutytė, Women's 100m Breaststroke (due broken arm last fall she focused only on one event)
  • Ugnė Mažutaitytė, Women's 50m, 100m and 200m Backstroke
  • Raminta Dvariškytė, Women's 200m Breaststroke
  • Giedrius Titenis, Men's 50m and 100m Breaststroke, 4x100m Medley Relay 
  • Simonas Bilis, Men's 50m and 100m Freestyle, 50m Butterfly, 4x100m Freestyle Relay, 4x100m Medley Relay
  • Danas Rapšys, Men's 100m and 200m Backstroke, 200m Freestyle, 4x100m Freestyle Relay, 4x100m Medley Relay
  • Andrius Šidlauskas, Men's 100m and 200m Breaststroke
  • Povilas Strazdas, Men's 100m and 200m Freestyle, 100m Butterfly, 200m Individual Medley, 4x100m Freestyle Relay
  • Deividas Margevičius, Men's 50m, 100m and 200m Butterfly, 4x100m Medley Relay
  • Mindaugas Sadauskas, Men's 50m and 100m Freestyle, 4x100m Freestyle Relay
  • Tadas Duškinas, Men's 50m and 100m Butterfly, 50m and 100m Freestyle
  • Gytis Stankevičius, Men's 50m, 100m and 200m Backstroke

 

Basically some of already qualified swimmers sacrificing some events so other Lithuanian swimmer would have a chance to reach OQT in same event (Titenis in 200m Breaststroke. Rapšys in 200m IM). Basically coaches expect for that top 4 time in 4x100m freestyle relay world rankings, OQT from Mažutaitytė, Šidlauskas and Margevičius and maybe OQT or close results from Strazdas and Sadauskas.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal.
