I've been talking to a few people who know swimming tonight. Every single one of them is sympathetic to Katinka and say her husband is a horrible bully who she should have left years ago... Obviously I don't know if that is true but it's interesting everyone had the same opinion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I don't know if that is true but it's interesting everyone had the same opinion... Yeah, I'm not too surprised to head that. I remember cameras showing him quite a lot in Budapest last year (like, after every Katinka's race). Perhaps the reason I remember it well is because he didn't look like some super kind person, to say it mildly... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better just end the relationship first.. Oh well, obviously we're not them, but this whole story smells of sadness on all sides.

intoronto 5,583 Posted June 3, 2018 #35 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Santo Condorelli is officially part of team Italy now (at least in the process of doing so). With that, the end of Canadian male swimming. Unreal how strong the women are and how weak the men are. 10-15 years ago it was the opposite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
