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..)

but Kromowidjojo will win two medals in Rio :p And I hope Femke also 2 (or 3 with 4x200).

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.

only good? Australia, USA and Nethelands are the best so far in 4x100.

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

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
