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).

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

[Werloc 3,164]

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 

 

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