Swimming at the Aquatics FINA World Championships 2017


Recommended Posts

Overall the level in womens 400 free was pretty bad, but its nice to see younger girls performaning at their best here. I think either Li or Titmus will win a medal. Weird to not see girls like Kapas, Carlin, Friis or Ashwood in this.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Swimming not showing things like PB/NR/SB etc in the results definitely is something they're still behind on compared to athletics. There's not even PB's in the start lists, that just sucks.

 

Instead of such usefull marks, they filled the screen this time with a bunch of useless graphics. :p

Exactly! +0.1m, showing someone is 10 centimeters behind, come on, we're not blind :d (and if we were, those graphics would not be very useful anyway)

 

It's sad to see swimming is so far behind other sports with these kind of things.

Julio Maglione (81) is still the FINA President...

with some "magic" in the whole procedure, the elections that took place earlier today also designated Husain Al Musallam as vice-president...

to be noticed that Al Musallam is also president of the Asian Olympic Committees Association and involved in many scandals (there's a video where he tried to get money from a potential Chinese sponsor, another procedure in the US where he's charged with attempted corruption of a soccer referee and other major and minor issues always about corruption here and there)...

moreover, FINA reinstated Vladimir Salnikov among their Bureau members (Salnikov is deeply involved in the Russian State Doping affair)...

what a wonderful and transparent future is ahead of all swimmers and swimming fans throughout the entire world...:whistle::facepalm:

Ah, thank goodness there are fresh new faces here to shaken up the sport and bring in innovative ideas.

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

No, they changed it to artistic swimming :p

 

Which makes just as much sense as synchronized swimming, by the way, so no problem with that.

They should rename it "Not in the Olympics" so the IOC don't have a choice

    • I really hope and wish hockey will finally receive some important air time on main France TV channel this time.   If not now, then I guess it will be a death case
    • Djokovic might be the first player to reach the semifinals without winning a set in the second week. 
    • Good summary Styrka. Loubineaud is an unknown factor as we don't know how the Games will affect him, but his results this year are very promising, especially in the 5000. There is also a slight chance in the team pursuit.  I would add short-track as an unlikely but still possible medal conveyor, because we have a women's relay starting. With only 8 teams and straight semis you're one contact away from a final, and then short-track happens.
    • lol I had completely forgotten that those two dated
    • Sports of teams  disappeared here  ..volley, hand ,basket no significatif results  long time ago 
    • This is nordic sports  The southern half of planet will shut their mouth 
    • most likely yes, but I feel  can make a good game against despite the disastrous start and losing against  in the opining game but the team did a brilliant match yesterday vs   and won by 5 goal difference  would be a second consecutive final if  made it this year 
    • I’m "stealing" your method.  I’m often very bad at this kind of prediction, but I still find it very fun to do.    France's Medal Prospects     Sports Where France Should Medal     Biathlon – France usually wins between 5 and 7 medals at the Olympic Games, but since 2022, we’ve been more in the 10+ medals range at the World Championships. It’s no secret that France’s success at these Olympics will depend entirely on biathlon results. The good news is that Lou Jeanmonnot and Julia Simon are absolute monsters on the Antholz Anterselva track. The bad news is that our men’s team hasn’t reached a single individual podium on this track since 2021 (same for Justine Braisaz-Bouchet, who nevertheless did win an Individual race in Antholz five years ago). On top of that, the Italians—Giacomel and Vitozzi in particular—are likely to be untouchable. Still, given the current form of the French team this year and the relatively large number of biathlon events, I don’t think it’s impossible to break the biathlon medal record, or even the record for titles at a single Olympics for . 6–10 medals.   Ski Mountaineering – At least one medal in each event doesn’t seem unrealistic, and the Emily Harrop / Thibault Anselmet duo are favorites for gold. 2–3 medals.   Figure Skating – Guillaume Cizeron and Laurence Fournier Beaudry are favorites for a podium spot in ice dance, I assume. Adam Siao Him Fa and Kevin Aymoz are not really in contention this year—no chance of reaching the podium this time. 1 medal.   Sports Where France Could Medal   Snowboarding – As at every Olympics, our snowboard cross team shows up in force, with many athletes who have already reached the podium multiple times in World Cups and World Championships. France always ends up leaving with one, sometimes two medals, but I feel the team tends to underperform most of the time (snowboard cross remains a fairly unpredictable sport). Léa Casta was last year’s world leader, Chloé Trespeusch is coming off three consecutive podiums, and three different men have reached the podium this year in World Cup events… But I fear Charlotte Bankes will be unbeatable among the women, and Adam Lambert looks very strong this year for the men. Romain Allemand is one of our major hopes for 2030 in big air/slopestyle—we’ll see whether he can already perform this year or simply discover the Olympic atmosphere. 2–3 medals.   Freestyle Skiing – As mentioned in an another topic, the absence of Tess Ledeux really hurts. Perrine Laffont is also injured but is expected to be at the Games, probably not in her best shape. That’s four major medal chances gone. All hopes therefore rest on our ski cross teams. Among the women, Marielle Berger-Sabbatel is our best chance, but she often prefers winning the small final rather than making it to the big final —and the competition is fierce in this event. Among the men, Youri Duplessis Kergomard is a regular World Cup podium finisher but rarely performs at championships (except last year, when he finished 2nd before being disqualified). 0–1 medal.   Speed Skating – I honestly know nothing about it, but I understand that the French team is in the middle of a resurgence. There are expectations around Timothy Loubineaud, but this pressure is completely new to him (and he has admitted several times that it’s very bad for his mental health), so I’m not sure he’ll perform well at the Games. 0–1 medal.   Alpine Skiing – France’s glory years are a long way behind us now. Cyprien Sarrazin is still injured, and I think everything has to be pinned on the men’s slalom. Clément Noël is the reigning Olympic champion, and Paco Rassat has won two races this year. Still, like Timothy Loubineaud, all the pressure will be on their shoulders to save French alpine skiing results… which makes it very tough for them. Unless we get a pleasant surprise elsewhere (Miradoli among the women, or a man in downhill). 0–1 medal.   Cross-Country Skiing – Unfortunately, results in cross-country skiing haven’t been good this year. Chanavat is coming back from injury, Claudel has completely disappeared, and Jouve and Chappaz are getting older… There’s always a small chance in the men’s relay, as every four years, but aside from Lapalus and Desloges, we’re lacking new talent. 0–1 medal.     Sports Where France Won't Medal   All other sports – No chance.     Summary   Final prediction – 11–21 medals. I’ve read some people here saying that France could be a pleasant surprise at these Olympic Games. I agree that the momentum is excellent for 2030, but the French team is still a bit “young” for this year. Beating the medal record (15) would already be a great success.
