I don't think it's a problem, this is a swimming qualification thread and there's no doubt other qualifiers for large nations will be talked about (we already did it for France). Honestly for a sport

What's the point of threads if nobody posts in them? If we should go to SwimSwam then what's the point of this site? If we were bombarding the thread with blow by blow results that's one thing, but I

Yes, they look like skinny models next to girls like Sjöstrom or Ottesen ...

I hope that we can back to our old strength in womens freestlye sprint by Tokyo, especially Gose is an amazing talent.

Do you have the opportunity to find out how fast Steenbergen was 2 years ago?

Damian Wierling – 50m Freestyle

Philip Heintz – 200m IM

Marco Koch – 200m Breaststroke

Paul Biedermann – 200m Freestyle

Christoph Fildebrandt – 200m Freestyle

Biedermann and Koch are qualified, they only had to finish top 2. All our mens relays will compete in Rio, i think Deibler (fly) will therefore also be nominated, although Heintz (who qualified at 200 IM) had a better time in prelims than Deibler in the final. For the medley relay we also might nominate Feldwehr (breast). All finalists at 100/200 free still have a chance to qualify. The 4 athletes with the fastest times after the german open (beginning of July) will be nominated. At the moment this would be Hörnikel, Di Carli + Biedermann and Wierling (100 free) and Rapp (200 free) + Biedermann, Vogel and Fildebrandt. I think that no relay on the womens side will be nominated, so we will probably send a very small team on the womens side (Brandt, Köhler, Beck, Wenk, Hentke, Graf). Our womens 800 free relay might have the best chance, top 4 at nationals were Bruhn, Köhler, Kullmann and Schmiedel.

 

My prediction for the final team:

Wierling (50/100 free, 400 free relay and maybe 800 free relay)

Hornikel (50/100 free, 400 free relay)

Biedermann (200 free, 400/800 free relay)

Vogel (200/400 free, 800 free relay and maybe 1500 free)

Rapp (800 free relay, 400 free)

Fildebrandt (800 free relay and maybe 400 free relay)

Wellbrock (1500 free)

Feldwehr (100 breast and maybe medley relay)

Koch (200 breast and maybe medley relay)

Diener (200 back)

Glania (100/200 back and medley relay)

Deibler (100 fly, medley relay and maybe 400 free relay)

Heintz (200 IM and maybe 100 fly)

Hintze (400 IM and maybe 200 IM)

Heidtmann (400 IM and maybe 400/1500 free/800 free relay)

Kusch (Maybe 100 fly and 400 free relay)

Brandt (50 free)

Köhler (400/800 free)

Beck (800 free and maybe 400 free)

Hentke (200 fly and maybe 100 fly/400 IM)

Wenk (100 fly and 200 IM)

Graf (200 back and maybe 100 back)

 

Note: Hornikel (50 free, 22.27), Vogel/Heidtmann (1500 free, 15:14.77), Diener (100 back, 54.36), Hintze (200 IM, 2:00.28) and Beck (400 free, 4:09.08) would have to make the A cut if they want to swim those events in Rio. Graf could swim 100 back without making the A cut, because we dont have any swimmer with A cut in this event.

 

All those 22 swimmers have a realistic chance to reach at least 1 final in Rio.

 

If we nominate a 800 free relay on the womens side, then Bruhn, Kullmann and Schmiedel should be added to the team. If we nominate a medley relay, then Roas, Grimberg and Bruhn should be added to the team, so our biggest possible team would have 25 swimmers in my opinion, but i hope for only those 20 swimmers i named before.

 

If we would nominate all swimmers who made the A cut (if at least one german swimmer made the A cut, not more than 2 in every event)  or the B cut (if no german swimmer made the A cut, not more than 1 in every event), then we would have the following team:

Men:

50 free: Wierling

100 free: Wierling, Hornikel

200 free: Biedermann, Vogel

400 free: Vogel, Rapp

1500 free: Wellbrock, Zellmann

100 back: Glania

200 back: Glania, Diener

100 fly: Heintz, Deibler

200 fly: Kunert (B cut)

200 IM: Heintz

400 IM: Heidtmann, Hintze

Women:

50 free: Brandt

100 free: -

200 free: Bruhn, Köhler

400 free: Köhler

800 free: Köhler, Beck

100 back: Graf (B cut)

200 back: Graf, Mensing

100 breast: Grimberg (B cut)

200 breast: Grimberg

100 fly: Wenk, Schmidtke

200 fly: Hentke

200 IM: Wenk, Wolters

400 IM: Hentke, Mrozinski

 

Schmidtke, Wolters, Mrozinski, Mensing, Zellmann, Rapp and Hornikel might miss the olympics, although they made the A cut.

Lets see what our head coach will decide, i think Rapp and Hornikel have a good chance to get nominated. Mensing is 100% out. Zellmann, Schmidtke, Wolters and Mrozinski have to hope that our head coach will nominate them, although they didnt swim the necessary times at the german nationals.

 

Edit: Martina van Berkel had a time of 2:08.50 (200 fly) at german nationals, i think she qualified for Rio (she compete for Switzerland).

Great work, thanks, i gave you a reputation for it! You gave me more than i asked for!

13 year old Isabel Gose (born in 2002) had times of 56.06 (100 free) and 2:01.10 (200 free) at german nationals, she seems to be a great talent, but sadly she competes for the wrong country. I am sure that she would become world class if she would train in the Netherlands, we dont seem to know how to develope freestlye talents on the womens side, although we had Van Almsick and Steffen not too long ago.

Swimrankings.net is perfect if you want results of European swimmers :yes

https://www.swimrankings.net/index.php?&language=de

 

When were these German nationals and where can I find the results? Apparently Swimrankings isn't 100% perfect because for Gose I don't see any sub-58 100m yet :p

Article about german relay qualification:

https://swimsportnews.de/6140-rio-2016-der-kampf-um-die-staffelplaetze-hat-gerade-erst-begonnen

5 of 6 relays got a quota place in Kazan last year, only womens 400 free relay missed out. Our womens 400 free relay couldve qualified by being among the 4 fastest not already qualified relays this year, but after german nationals our head coach said that they wont get another chance at the european championships to qualify, so they are 100% out. At german nationals our 4 fastests swimmers had to swim certain combined times (1.5s were subtracted for fyling starts) to qualify for Rio and all relays did that, so i think that we will send 5 relays to Rio. Those times equalled the 8th fastest time from prelims at 2015 world championships. All athletes who reached the 100/200 free final can still qualify for the relay, the 4 fastest athletes after the end of the german open (beginning of July) will qualify, no matter how fast they were at the german nationals. The fastest athlete after the end of the german open (beginning of July) in mens/womens 100 back/fly/free/breast will also qualify, but there will be no alternatives if i understood it correctly, so only 4 swimmers for every relay will be nominated.

 

At the moment our relays would look like this:

Mens 400 free relay:

Wierling, Biedermann, Hornikel, Di Carli

Mens 800 free relay:

Biedermann, Vogel, Fildebrandt, Rapp

Mens medley relay:

Glania, Schwingenschlögel, Heintz, Wierling

Womens 800 free relay:

Bruhn, Köhler, Kullmann, Schmiedel

Womens medley relay:

Roas, Grimberg, Wenk, Bruhn

 

Required times at german nationals/combined times (1.5s for flying starts subtracted):

Mens 400 free relay: 3:15.47/3:13.23

Mens 800 free relay; 7:10.92/7:05.06

Mens medley relay: 3:34.02/3:32.64

Womens 800 free relay: 7:55.08/7:54.05

Womens medley relay: 4:00.43/3:59.60

---------------------------------------------

Womens 400 free relay: 3:38.35/3:39.11 (not qualified)

 

The next 2 months could get really interesting, everyone who didnt finish top 4 at german nationals will try to get a relay spot, so we have to wait 2 more months to know who qualified.

      Fencing FIE World Cup 2024 - 2025

      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.

      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.

      Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?

      Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.

      No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
