Holy shit, Mihályvári! OQT time in women's 400 medley and huge upset inside the Hungarian team, it looks like Mihályvári will be our second choice for 400IM, not Jakabos.

Csaba Sós confirmed it after the ECh that the target for Hungary in Tokyo is still 1 gold and another 2 or 3 medals. Probably 1 gold + 1 medal from Milák and another 1 or 2 medals from Hosszú, Kapás and/or Kenderesi.

Sarah Sjöström will race her first race after she broke her arm tomorrow in Canet. In the same race, Therese Alshammar will make a very surprising come back in her first race after Rio 2016 which was her 6th olympics. At the age of 43, the most medalled european swimmer Will try to make it to her 7th olympics.

Settecolli meet in Rome (ITA)

 

last international event before the end of the qualification period...

 

on day 1, 2 new Italian National records highlighted the evening session...

 

Nicolò Martinenghi won the men's 100m breaststroke, improving to 58.29* (beating :NED Arno Kamminga, who swam 58.40, with a great comeback in the last 20m)...

*4th fastest specialists ever over the distance...

 

Arianna Castiglioni once again was better than Benedetta Pilato and Martina Carraro (the 2 selected swimmers for this race in the Italian squad) in the women's 100m Breaststroke...

she improved our National record to 1.05.67...Pilato swam 1.05.84 and Carraro 1.06.08...

 

among others, :HUN Kristof Milak won the men's 100m Fly in 50.89 (in this race we saw Santo Condorelli's comeback with a promising 51.62, just a few hundreds of a second better than Federico Burdisso and the other best Italian specialists); Sarah Sjostrom won the women's 50m Fly in 25.42, edging out :NED Ranomi Kromowidjojo (25.43); :BRA Bruno Fratus won the men's 50m Free in 21.71 (Alessandro Miressi was second in 21.97 and Santo Condorelli was 3rd in 22.00)...

 

Finally, Federica Pellegrini had a solo show in the women's 200m free (1.56.23 her time) and Simona Quadarella also had more or less a training session in the women's 1500m Free (15.48.81 for her)...

4:09.57 from Dávid Verrasztó in men's 400 IM. Maybe he still has a good chance for the medal in Tokyo, but I have a hard time believing in it after waiting for his first Olympic medal for such a long time.

Settecolli meet in Rome (ITA)

 

best of day #2

 

said of Verraszto, for :HUN we also had Milak and Hosszu shining today...

 

Milak won the men's 200m Fly (1.53.18), Katinka won the women's 400m IM (4.36.31)...

 

the women's 100m Fly were won by :SWE Sarah Sjostrom, but in a very modest time (for her standard), 57 "high"...

 

the women's 100m Free, instead, went to :NED Femke Heemskerk (53.03) ahead of the same Sjostrom (53.47) and :NED Ranomi Kromowidjojo (53.55)...

4th was Federica Pellegrini (53.71)...

 

for what concerns the Italian swimmers, once again Benedetta Pilato (29.69) and Arianna Castiglioni (30.06, PB) were the best in the women's 50m Breaststroke, meanwhile the same race in the men's division went to Nicolò Martinenghi in 26.59...

 

finally, the 100m Free were won quite surprisingly by Thomas Ceccon (48.14, PB) ahead of Alessandro Miressi (48.16), while Santo Condorelli was 3rd in 48.49...

 

in the last event of the day, Simona Quadarella won the women's 800m Free and :BRA Guilherme Pereira Da Costa won the same race in the men's division, but both didn't swim any remarkable time...

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
