Wow a fifth different winner from 6 rallies in the WRC. :yikes: Still Ogier dominates in the standings, because he is so consistent, but others winning the rallies is so interesting. Especially after all those years when 1-2 drivers won everything, every season.

I see I should really consider following the WRC again. Like you said, I'm not used to see anything different than Loeb or now Ogier win 90% of the races :p

Also: Nick Catsburg won the 2nd race in the WTCC at the Moscow Raceway today, the 2nd Dutchman ever to win a WTCC race :cheer:

 

And in 45 minutes we have the Canadian GP :) 

 

There's also the Firestone 600 IndyCar in Texas today (it was postponed from yesterday) and NASCAR.

I'll have to catch the WTCC on repeat at sometime. Too full schedule. :water:

Yeah, today was/is weird. Nothing in the morning and only WTCC in the afternoon (no MotoGP, no WSBK, no GP2 and stuff because the F1 is in Canada), but in an hour we will have F1, IndyCar and NASCAR all at the same f*cking time :roflmao::facepalm:

It wasn't like yesterday when the entire Atlantic Ocean fell down on the track, but it was wet :p

    • Yes, but all the medley components qualified anyway so I imagine they will swim it. They also mistakenly announced that the 4x100 qualified so We’ll see what they do.
    • Boston Marathon today!  There's some international coverage.  Now, if we get a race like the epic greatest-ever 2018 edition we will be lucky......     TV Coverage | Boston Athletic Association
    • Would rather best ball be on day 1 and alternate shots be on day 2, but overall I think this is a good format.
    • 1980. Allan Wells. It wasn’t on television because of the Olympic boycott so I found out about it from the newspapers. 
    • Also GB didn’t reach its target in the 4x100 women relay or the medley so those places might be rejected. 
    • It was the last event of the meet anyway, so they were never likely to do a swim off. If they wanted to decide in advance based on a race, more likely on a meet like Mare Nostrum.   Both are pre-selected anyway because of the relay, so they both will be there anyway. Whichever gets the nod, we probably won't know until the week of.   With GB's history of messing about, especially in the first year of a new Olympic cycle, who knows what we'll do. Knowing us, stick Tom Dean in there, make Duncan do the 200 fly and Jimmy the 400 free.  
    • Will they do a swim-off?   The other option is they select both of them and then the head coach decides who swims at the meet.
    • Very glad they went with foursome/four-ball rather than just adding up individual scores.
    • I'll give it a shot.   On the mens side the freestyle results were pretty standard with the usual suspects of Ben Proud, Matt Richards and Duncan Scott swimming well. I don't think any of these guys were fully tapered and Proud didn't even shave for his 50m free win (21.67). 17 year old Jacob Mills came second in both the 50 and 100m free, so is on the team for Singapore. Tom Dean has only just got back into training but qualified in the 4x100 after being preselected in the 4x200 free.  James Guy looked impressive with a PB in the 200m free at 1:45.08. He also won the 400m free in a race where he went out way too fast and died at the end (3:46.64). The longer distances weren't notable.   Ollie Morgan was certainly stand out swimmer on the mens side sweeping the backstrokes for a 3rd straight year. He broke the national record in the 100m with a 52.12 with a pretty poor finish. He also impressed in the 200m with a 1:55.55   Without Peaty, the mens breaststroke was pretty poor, with Greg Butler only qualifying for the relay. 17 year olds Max Morgan and Filip Nowacki took home a few medals between them.   The Men's fly was also pretty pedestrian by international standards. Proud won the 50m in 23.21 with a long glide, whilst Ed Mildred took the relay spot in 51.80. 17 y.o Jack Brown was only 0.07 back Duncan Scott won the 200m (1:54.89) but he wont swim it in Singapore.   Scott took the mens 200m IM in 1:56.44, whilst, Max Litchfield won the 400m in 4:11.59     On the women's side the quality wasn't as good but there were a few standout performances.   Freya Colbert got close to the British record in the 200m free in 1:55.76, and Eva Okaro impressed with a 24.48 50m free.    The backstrokes were disappointing with nobody breaking a minute in the 100 (1:00.03), but Katie Shanahan looked good in the 200 at (2:07.91)   Angharad Evans was rapid in the breaststrokes breaking the national record in the 100 (1:05.37), and a huge PB in the 200 (2:21.86)   Fly was poor with nobody breaking 58 in the 100 (58.03), but Macinnes broke the Scottish record in the 200 (2:07.14)   Abbie Wood swept the Medleys with a 2:08.85 200 and a 4:36.66 400     Overall the results were alright with a few strong standout performances. As is the case in a post olympic year, the big guns took it fairly easy whilst some juniors looked really promising.    More results here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Aquatics_GB_Swimming_Championships
