48.77 for Stjepanovic is really good.

"Serbia is no danger", according to the fantastic Dutch commentator...followed by Serbia beating the Netherlands.

That's usually his 100m split in a 400m free race isn't it?

Better than the British one, who when a Guatemalan guy won his heat said he was from Guam and went on about the set-up in Guam, and a Nigerien (as in from ) got a slow time he started ranting how that guy can't be the fastest in

I read that he is in the ncaa cicrcuits and he was trained by american staff  

He trained in Germany until the 2016 olympics and last year set his PB of 3:46.88 at the european championships in London, then he decided to go to college, so he dropped almost 3 seconds in about one year, i think there is more to come and at this point he should be considered a favorite for a medal and maybe even for gold. I always thought that he is better at 1500 m, so maybe he can go sub 14:50 there. The fact that he went from 3:46.88 to 3:44.18 by moving from Germany to the US shows how shit german swimming is, i think german swimming should just shut down all their training facilities and instead send all swimmers to the US. Today 4 german swimmers competed, 3 of them were miles off their PB, the third one (Schmidtke) was very close to her PB and easily reached the semifinal ... guess what, she trains in the US all year long.

Belmonte Garcia's career is finished for me, she wasn't competitive since 1-2 years  

Didnt she win the gold medal in the 200 fly in Rio, which was less than a year ago?

She might be less versatile now (no medal chances in the 400/800 free and probably not even in the 400 IM), but i still wouldnt say that this fits the definition of a finished career ... ?

but no sf for Scozzoli and Watanabe

I would say more surprisingly no semifinal for Christian vom Lehn, who swam 59.47 at the german championships, but he is a german swimmer, so i guess this shouldnt surprise anyone ... ?
