Swimming qualification is messy...but suffice it to say, I think we'll have a full team.  (26-28 per gender)

 

Pool swimming is basically based on having the entry standard (which we'll def meet).

The new events will be awarded during the WC in October 2027.

 

Open water swimming will award quotas during the WCh in 2027, ranking as of 1 Feb 2028, as well as a final OQE in 2028.

We've got a few of our top dogs over in China right now.

 

Yu Zidi, the 13-yr-old from China, beat Regan Smith in the 200m fly.

Kate Douglass scored bronze in the 100m free.

Jack Alexy finished 2nd in the 50m free (behind Cameron McEvoy :AUS and his new WR)

Kate Douglass scored another bronze in the 50m free. (only .03 difference between gold and bronze) Gretchen Walsh was in 4th.

Regan Smith won gold in the 200m back.

Kate Douglass scored gold in the 200m breast.

 

One more day tomorrow.  I think it was just the four of them, and I think they only landed a couple of days ahead of time...Regan referred to it as 'a business trip'.

The first Open Water world cup is going on.  The US didn't send anyone.

 

We do have a couple of athletes that are in the top 30 (only 22 per gender compete in LA28):

 

Men - Dylan Gravely is #18, Ivan Puskovitch is #27 (finished 19th in Paris)

Women - Mariah Denigan is #15 (placed 16th in Paris), and Brinkleigh Hansen is #28 (she's only 16 years old!)

    • Stan Moody was like one red away from leading Kyren Wilson 8-3 and never won another frame losing 7-10.   Antoni Kowalski put up a fight vs Mark Williams in the first session but ultimately fell 4-10. Still a historic moment for  snooker!
    • I think China will nominate a sport they will be successful in, even if it's the third or fourth choice for a home Olympics
    • Isn't it boring that a man and a woman are tennis players? Besides, for me, Pogacar achieved more than Alcaraz... How was Alcaraz better than Sinner? And Sabalenka only won one Grand Slam...    
    • SML's introverted personality is terrible for marketing but it's still a huge coup for Sabalenka & Belarus to take Laureus!    
    • We'll see – Radev has complete power... If he's clever, he'll take over all the media, institutions, tribunals etc., and will does propaganda that poverty exists because the EU, LGBT and the Green Deal are bad  Orban ruled terribly, but for 16 years, he was elected in Hungary thanks to propaganda. It's not that only you have to rule well to have high support. It's just that from what people are writing, Radev isn't as clever as Orban... On the other hand, if he were stupid, he wouldn't have won yesterday with 45%. He can't be underestimated, at all.
    • But these are the times when being pro-EU is no longer cool, unfortunately. That ended around 2010. Now there are plenty of Orbans, Radevs, Trumps, Le Pens, AFDs, etc. Even the Magyar in Hun didn't say much about the EU, because the Hungarians didn't want to hear it. I'm afraid that some Radev-like emerge will soon in Slovakia, because Fico is probably too discredited and will take all power. It's important that it's more of a Magyar than Radev, but Russia will certainly does to get someone of its own there. Especially since, apart from maybe Poland and the Czech Republic, in the entire post-USSR bloc, most people still simply like Russia.
    • The exit poll showed 38% for Radev, and then it rise to 45%, as if people didn't want to admit they voted for him? Well, it had to happen eventually, because elections can't be held every 6 months forever. The question was, who would take advantage of this? They found a old communist who called himself a new party- Progressive Bulgaria :P But, since he was president in your country for 10 years, people shouldn't have fallen for it. Turnout is also very low... Unfortunately, in Bulgaria, it's either chaos, or some strange emerges, like the former king in 2001, then Boiko Borisov, now Radev, etc. What's more, it seems you still have a strong sentiment for communism and Russia, which is why Radev didn't even have to hide his good relations with Putin.
    • We can be embarrassed together.
    • God, I hope so. I just want a pro-European government, that's all. Man, we're tired.
    • Good start for us with 3 total medals so far.    Angel Rusev took his 6th straight European title.   With this he equals Yoto Yotov and passed a bunch of other Bulgarian legends who have 5.  Above him are Nikolay Peshalov with 8th and Naim Süleymanoğlu with 7th (there could be others with such records, but i don't have the full statistics).   A shame that Rusev's overall level isn't on par on a worldwide scale, but we all know that Europe has practically taken a backseat in weightlifting the past 20 years, with the exception of a few individuals.
