Swimming at the Aquatics FINA World Championships 2017

[phelps 8,637]

good 4th place for Grimaldi, too...

 

we end up the Open Water Swimming section with quite a few medals, but no gold...

 

I don't know if I can be satisfied with that or no...

That is one hell of an amazing career 

 

sure...and she also has at least a couple of medals also in the other distances (she won bronze in the 10km last Sunday, for instance)...

but unfortunately for her she missed out on the most important one (Rio 2016, of course)...

With the World Championships coming up, I think that Giedrius Titenis, Danas Rapšys and Simonas Bilis are our only realistic contenders for finals and/or perhaps a medal.

Rūta Meilutytė, I think, is going to have an awful performance, I don't even think she'll qualify to the final, looking at her constantly regressing results. What a shame.

I think he said it, constant regressing of results.

Well, yeah, but I meant maybe she's had some injury or some issues that led to this

For Serbia:

 

Maybe only sf for Siladji on 50m. And I hope good results for relays (NR for both). So, thats it Individual results will be meeh

Meanwhile, Croatian swimming

 

Worst team ever in pool. Semifinals are impossible. And it seemed that better times were coming with Samardzic's semifinals in Rio (she's not even competing here).

 

We also managed to destroy our talented open water team. Šitić pretty much disappeared after that great 12th place in London (20 year old at the time). We also had very successful juniors on the men's side, not anymore...

well, even one of our swimmers (who has obviously absolutely no chance for semifinals) defeated Meilutyte last month in Bratislava, so I think that´s say a lot..
