Swimming at the Aquatics FINA World Championships 2017


Recommended Posts

Really interesting progression by the guy from Bulgaria, but in swimming no one even seems to care anymore, its like the wild west a century ago, you can do whatever you want.

Russians also dont seem to give a shit, destroying their PBs left and right, but why should they, FINA and IOC sent a clear signal that they dont really give a shit either, just dont do the doping too obvious, because it will bring too much negative attention. I think they learned from what happend to cycling after Armstrong. People buy everything, they just want to be entertained, just dont catch too many (famous) athletes, because then people will finally lose interest.

King is even worse than Efimova, worst possible result. With Efimova at least she doesnt deny the doping, you know where your at with her, but the way King acts, she must be very sure that she will never be caught, which sadly isnt that unrealistic, considering that Hardy was probably the last american swimmer that was (accidentally) caught.

Well, doesn't have to be about doping. For example, would you also cheer for Kilty if some hypotetical crowd was booing him for his behaviour and cheering hard for Mekhissi-Benabbad? :d

 

Nope, I find astronomical assholes worse than someone who used doping (I still doubt the fact a world class athlete used doping is so rare) so I'd absolutely never ever cheer for any of these two :p

I think the choice of music is pretty good in Bukarest and the anthems sound pretty good too, for example the british anthem didnt sound as annoying as normally, so good job Hungary. I think swimming still could make this more of an event, why not for example have a Starbucks and a McDonald's in there or a guy selling popcorn/hot dogs like in the NBA for example. If this should really become pure show, then they need to sell it like that.

    • Ooooooh the group of Canada , they play in Toronto then Vancouver ...look at the distance   
    • now the shooting sport takes a little Christmas break and the new season resumes in January with the Asian Championships for the Shotgun specialists ( Doha, Jan. 11th through 22nd)   the World Cup will be back in late March, beginning in  Tangiers (March 25th through April 3rd, Shotgun specialists only)   the Rifle and Pistol specialists will start their new season with the European 10m Championships in  Yerevan (Feb. 27th through March 5th) and the 1st World Cup stage for them will be in  Granada in April (5th through 13th)   300m, 25m and 50m European Champs will be in  Osijek (May 30th through June 21st), meanwhile the Shotgun European Champs will be held in  Athens from Sept. 27th through Oct. 13th
    • Rare thing not to see Hancock winning gold. 
    • USA will.play in California then Seattle then California ...why hell this long distance , teams should stay in 1 place , this is tiring even for spectators 
    • so, the 2025 season is officially over, after the World Cup Finals have been completed with the Shotgun events, where (once again!!!) a new format for the final stage of each event has been experimented for the first time (before it becomes a regular feature in the next season)   the new format enlarge the starting field in each event's final stage to 8 shooters and dramatically shortens the number of target shots to decide the placings   the only characteristic remaining is the progressive eliminations principle   now, as written above, 8 shooters make the final, where after only 12 targets the eliminations start: by then, the last 2 shooters must leave the competition (7th and 8th ranked)   after 12 more targets (24 in total), 2 more shooters have to leave the final (5th and 6th ranked)   then, the crazy carousel starts: every 4 targets we have a new elimination  so, after 28 targets, the 4th ranked shooter is done; after 32 targets the bronze medallist is known and after only 36 targets (provided there's no need for a shoot-off), compared to the previous 60, the gold and silver medallists are crowned   I guess the tiktok people with the attention span of a chinchilla have won once again
