58.19, but fear not, she already posted 57.68 last year in a competition that actually counted :cheer:

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

I think I've said my opinion a million times by now right? :d 

 

Not a big fan of Kromowidjojo and her attitude of always skipping all kinds of competitions in the "not important" years :p 

On the other hand: FEMKE :hearts: (as long as she loses the "demons inside her head", to quote her literally, and she stops choking in the important individual moments..)

I still really doubt Kromo will win a medal in the 100 :p 

 

But yeah still two medals possible then: one of the major outsiders in the 50 and the Netherlands is a good candidate for bronze in the 4x100.

Well alright, let's rephrase that: I think we are the main (but not only) candidate for the bronze medal :p

final day in Rome and Federica Pellegrini stole the show as expected...1.54.55 in the women's 200m Free...now this year in this event she's second only to Katie Ledecky (waiting for her races at the US Olympic Trials, which started today)...

in the same competition in Rome, Michelle Coleman swam 1.55.88...

finally, Gabriele Detti showed his form once again for the third time in 3 days and swam 7.43 over the 800m Free, beating by a 7-second margin his training partner, the reigning World Champion of the distance, Gregorio Paltrinieri...

 

on the other side of the Ocean, instead, Kelsey Worrel swam 56.something and Dana Vollmer 57.50 in the heats of the women's 100m Fly at the US Trials, Day 1...

in the other races, easy qualification to the final for Ryan Lochte in the men's 400m IM with a 4.11 clocking, 59.05 by Kevin Cordes (5 boys below the 1-minute mark) in the men's 100m Breast and a bunch of 3.47 in the heats of the men's 400m Free...

Cate Campbell has just broken Britta Steffen's 100m "supersuit" freestyle WR :yikes::woot:

I'd be a bit worried if I was an Australian swimming fan, it's not normal to be in that extreme shape for so long :d

    • What's worse there is that it took insanely long for anyone to even go there and try to help her....like, nothing happened, at all. She was crying out in pain in the pouring rain and nobody came to help, that was awful. And then someone finally went there....and just picked up her bike to move it away. Come on.
    • Pointsbet Invitational on this week!    Already a few upsets in the round of 16 with Team McDonald defeating Team Dunstone (not the biggest of the surprises, he took Team Carruthers the distance at the provincial playdowns), Team Asselin defeating Team Carruthers, and perhaps the biggest one Team MacNutt defeating Team Einarson (I will also add that Birchard suffered a knee injury recently and is taking some time off, so Walker is coming in as a replacement)
    • top athletes are still paid well enough to keep them in the country. that also means that they degrade and wouldn't be good enough for any other country
    • Thanks for reporting it! I have installed a new feature where the content of ignored users is "more" ignored than before, meaning it also does not appear in the post feed block. But something is wrong now and it "too" ignored, ignoring the whole threads where ignored users have posted Anyway no worries, no content has been deleted and hopefully it will be fixed soon.
    • @Sindo May apologies for using a wrong thread for it, but lots of threads give me this screen when I try to open them:     That is including the announcements thread and the problems/suggestions thread, where I originally wanted to post this of course, but yeah...the post thing is gone there     There seems to be some error with loading posts somehow. On the front page, this thread here for example is reported as having at least one post today, but the most recent one I see is from a week ago. Something going on?
    • Good morning everyone! Of course I would not let Brazil out of this fun tradition 🤪 so it is for sure a valid reason to find some extra time between trainings and work for.   Well, here is Brazil's choice for this years Contest. I hope that despite of giving it some points or not, you enjoy the message of the lyrics     Perfeitamente imperfeito (Hateen)   Coragem aos que tem valor Que nunca pensam em se entregar Coragem pra poder continuar E não existe nada que você Não seja forte o bastante pra vencer Por que você sabe que nunca está sozinho E eu também já vivi assim Perdido e procurando o fim Só pra fazer toda essa dor passar Mas na vida tudo o que aprendi É que a gente chora, mas também sorri E tudo sempre vai acabar bem Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seu temores, Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser E é assim que eu vou seguir, em frente Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender? E o seu ódio era o seu melhor amigo? Mas o tempo que você passou Gritando com o mundo inteiro ao seu redor Nunca te fez sentir um pouco melhor São coisas que a gente aprende com o tempo A dar valor a todos os momentos E da tristeza a gente faz sorrir Agora entendo e já parece tão certo Estou feliz e já me sinto completo Por que tenho a certeza De que não acabo aqui Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seus temores Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser É assim que eu vou seguir Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender?
    • Hezbollah didn't kill any civilian while Satanyahu already killed 2000 Lebanese , so who is terrorist ya head of eggs ?    everything is reversed by western  Media , they make you beleive the opposit cause you are stupid
