Russian women win the relay going 2+9.  Only 7 teams finished the race, the US were in 7th.  13 started the race.  The US finished 5+15, but left the shoot #2 in 2nd place with Maddie Phaneuf going 0-0 and handed over in 4th place.  Nice job by her!

 

Men's relay in about 90 min.

Nice job today by Egorova :RUS, Johansen :NOR and Erdal :NOR in the women's Sprint.  Over 1/3 of the women had either zero or only one misses.  Oberthaler was DQ.  Not sure why.

 

As an aside, UK had Amanda Lightfoot race, so whatever had kept her out of the single-mixed relay at the World Championships is now gone.

Finland with a surprise 3rd in the men's short individual.  Rivail of France and Cappellari finish 1st and 2nd with Laitinen and Strelow of Germany tying for 3rd.  Cappellari was the only one to shoot clear.

 

Voigi of Germany won the Gold with a clean shoot for Germany.  She was the only one to do so.  Goreeva (2nd) and Chauveau (3rd) both missed 3 shots.

 

In the men's sprint from this morning, Nawrath took the win, A. Andersen 2nd and Rivail 3rd.  Bjoentegaard finished 4th.  I do not see how he gets back onto the World Cup team. I would not be surprised if he retired this summer.  There were 4 other Norwegians in the top 12, all younger than him.  

 

15 shot clean, with Vsivtsev of Estonia being one of them.  Even with a clean shoot, he finished in 93rd place 4:01 behind.  A little more random analysis, no Norwegian shot clean in the sprint, 3 Germans did, 3 Italians, 2 Russians, 1 Slovak, 1 Slovene, 1 Belgian, and 1 from Moldova.

    • Would rather best ball be on day 1 and alternate shots be on day 2, but overall I think this is a good format.
    • 1980. Allan Wells. It wasn’t on television because of the Olympic boycott so I found out about it from the newspapers. 
    • Also GB didn’t reach its target in the 4x100 women relay or the medley so those places might be rejected. 
    • It was the last event of the meet anyway, so they were never likely to do a swim off. If they wanted to decide in advance based on a race, more likely on a meet like Mare Nostrum.   Both are pre-selected anyway because of the relay, so they both will be there anyway. Whichever gets the nod, we probably won't know until the week of.   With GB's history of messing about, especially in the first year of a new Olympic cycle, who knows what we'll do. Knowing us, stick Tom Dean in there, make Duncan do the 200 fly and Jimmy the 400 free.  
    • Will they do a swim-off?   The other option is they select both of them and then the head coach decides who swims at the meet.
    • Very glad they went with foursome/four-ball rather than just adding up individual scores.
    • I'll give it a shot.   On the mens side the freestyle results were pretty standard with the usual suspects of Ben Proud, Matt Richards and Duncan Scott swimming well. I don't think any of these guys were fully tapered and Proud didn't even shave for his 50m free win (21.67). 17 year old Jacob Mills came second in both the 50 and 100m free, so is on the team for Singapore. Tom Dean has only just got back into training but qualified in the 4x100 after being preselected in the 4x200 free.  James Guy looked impressive with a PB in the 200m free at 1:45.08. He also won the 400m free in a race where he went out way too fast and died at the end (3:46.64). The longer distances weren't notable.   Ollie Morgan was certainly stand out swimmer on the mens side sweeping the backstrokes for a 3rd straight year. He broke the national record in the 100m with a 52.12 with a pretty poor finish. He also impressed in the 200m with a 1:55.55   Without Peaty, the mens breaststroke was pretty poor, with Greg Butler only qualifying for the relay. 17 year olds Max Morgan and Filip Nowacki took home a few medals between them.   The Men's fly was also pretty pedestrian by international standards. Proud won the 50m in 23.21 with a long glide, whilst Ed Mildred took the relay spot in 51.80. 17 y.o Jack Brown was only 0.07 back Duncan Scott won the 200m (1:54.89) but he wont swim it in Singapore.   Scott took the mens 200m IM in 1:56.44, whilst, Max Litchfield won the 400m in 4:11.59     On the women's side the quality wasn't as good but there were a few standout performances.   Freya Colbert got close to the British record in the 200m free in 1:55.76, and Eva Okaro impressed with a 24.48 50m free.    The backstrokes were disappointing with nobody breaking a minute in the 100 (1:00.03), but Katie Shanahan looked good in the 200 at (2:07.91)   Angharad Evans was rapid in the breaststrokes breaking the national record in the 100 (1:05.37), and a huge PB in the 200 (2:21.86)   Fly was poor with nobody breaking 58 in the 100 (58.03), but Macinnes broke the Scottish record in the 200 (2:07.14)   Abbie Wood swept the Medleys with a 2:08.85 200 and a 4:36.66 400     Overall the results were alright with a few strong standout performances. As is the case in a post olympic year, the big guns took it fairly easy whilst some juniors looked really promising.    More results here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Aquatics_GB_Swimming_Championships
