Swimming Qualification for Summer Olympic Games 2016


Recommended Posts

I guess it's not that shocking Lochte had a bad 400m IM, he just recently came back to that event after a long layoff. Kalisz will be a solid medal threat.

but I guess this time the US guys won't have many chances to win the Gold medal (which they have always won since the end of the great Tamas Darnyi's reign)...

Hagino looks well beyond the reach of Kalisz (not to mention Litherland, who is just on the line to make the final and nothing more)...

encouraging from an Italian perspective also the "high" 3.43 by Conor Jaeger in the men's 400m Free...

at the moment, Gabriele Detti looks stronger (on Friday he swam 3.44.2 just down from a hard training period in altitude)...

Well the fact that he just came down from altitude doesn't make his performance more impressive :p 

 

I mean, when coming down from high altitude to normal altitude, that's when they're at their best..

Which is not to say his time isn't impressive by the way, because 3:44 in a period where everything is focussed on training is still damn good!

Apparently Lochte had a groin injury (though it could be an after-race excuse).  

 

It's funny to see Phelps' 400 IM in London described as a disaster.  He finished 4th, a third of a second off the podium. In Canada he would have received a parade for that performance :d.  It must be really boring being American watching the Olympics, seeing your people win so many medals in everything must numb the excitement.

Now let's be fair, Phelps is an absolute legend who was winning nearly every event he focussed on, so yes, finishing 4th in the 400m IM was not exactly a good result for him ;)

 

He finished 4th, how much value do you think a 4th place has for someone who needs a warehouse just to hold his Olympic medals?

Lol not at all.  Im happy for each one.  I think only one I'm numb to is Simone Biles.  Shes amazing but shes a machine.    

 

Also americans are not people who follow those sports too much outside od olymlic years like us. So for a lot of people it will be the first time seeing her

Kane Radford from New Zealand has got his quota back in open water after winning an appeal to the New Zeland Sports Tribunal. Nice for him! (source)

52.12 and 52.28 for Plummer and Murphy in the 100m backstroke semi's, most impressive results of the day at the US trials :bowdown:

 

Although Ledecky's 3:58.98 isn't bad at all neither :d 

 

Franklin seems to be in horrible shape and barely made the final on the 100 back..

    • Suspect strongly that the Sultan of  is behind Global Wushu!     Another one is long distance & ultra triathlon.  There are literally millions being paid out in prize money to attract big name athletes from several sports, huge FTA TV coverage but seemingly no prospect of any profit.   And the classic is obstacle racing, which has effectively bought up the ownership of Modern Pentathlon.
    • apparently the Japanese organizers rejected OCA's nice request    now OCA is ordering them to do so in a not-so-nice language https://oca.asia/media/attachments/memberships_subcommittee/5/Decision_-_103rd_OCA_EB_Meeting_5ypY8y4.pdf   the last line is very interesting   I knew this for a while, for example that's why Jujjtsu is included in all of OCA events (despite being the worst sport to watch) but good to see OCA admit this. so with the corrupt OCA you can buy your way in. how much they paid the OCA officials for this ?   OK I know Qatar is financially supporting Padel (and UAE is paying everything for Jujitsu) but who is behind Teqball?  ! I don't think Thailand can do that. 
    • Important information on team Aerials.   There is no AIN`s team at the start list of the world cup despite of the fact that belorussians have enough athletes to have a team.   https://medias4.fis-ski.com/pdf/2026/FS/8119/2026FS8119SLF1.pdf
