Swimming at the Aquatics FINA World Championships 2017

Oleksiak is not going to win a medal here. She does not look like she is in form. 

She has been out with injuries for more than 2 months, no surprise to see her off her best, she should still win some golds at the junior world championships. Lets be honest, if you are olympic champion, a world title doesnt do much for you. I am sure she will be at her best in 2020, fighting for the gold in the 100 free and the 100 fly (against Ikee).

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

Sjöström 0.99s Better than the Olympia gold medal time in rio! She is Better now than last year but I Also think she was tired after 200 free and the relays.. Now at least she doesnt waste energy in the 200..

Now BBC shows 100m Butterfly for some reason

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

In all honesty, I expected Giedrius Titenis to make it into the 100m. Breastroke final, but he ended up 12th. What I did not expect was Andrius Šidlauskas with another PB and a Q to the final with the 4th time. :)

Home world championships for Hungary, they have always been shit in the 4x100 free relay and now they suddenly win a medal, cant say that i am surprised though, we all know what Hungary is doing ... just sad. This again reminds me why i stopped caring about swimming more than a year ago:

1) Obvious doping

I don't know. Please open my eyes. Did Hungary win too many medals? What about Gyurta Dániel? An Olympic Champion but here he is 26. Cseh László? 4xOlimpic silver medalist. Here? 11. Women's 4x100 relay? 9. Etc. Hungary, the host won a medal and, of course they used doping.

During the last Olympic many of our Olympians were interviewed. All of them waited this WC because it is in Hungary. With it's special atmosphere!

Hungary is a very successful nation in a lot of sports. So a bronze almost 2 sec from the winner is a sweet surprise to me.

Hosszú will win medals. Pleas don't see her races!

That medal for Hungary was already one of the highlights of the world championships :cheer:

 

Luckily I care about swimming, if I didn't care about it obviously I would not even have been in this thread :p

    • 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.
