Alessandro Miressi, just a few days after becoming European Champion over the men's 100m Freestyle, earlier today at the National Age Groups Championships improved his PB (48.00, swam in the European Final) and clocked the new Italian Record over the distance in 47.92...

new National Record also for Ilaria Bianchi ("only" 4th in Glasgow earlier this week) over the women's 100m Fly with 57.22, which would have given her a medal if clocked in Scotland...

 

as usual, many Italian swimmers improve their best times when it's too late and when it doesn't really count that much...:facepalm::wall:

2008 Olympic open water champion Maarten van der Weijden is swimming a bit over 200 kilometer these days to get money for cancer research (the illness he had before his gold medal). He started yesterday morning around 4am and is expected to finish somewhere late tomorrow :p

He's following the 'Eleven Cities Tour' course, which is this wonderful, legendary speed skating race (which sadly hasn't been held in over 20 years already because of a lack of real winters):

It was so close a few years ago. Oh well, I'm convinced one day it'll happen again, global warming doesn't mean literally every winter will be too warm :p 

 

Meanwhile Van der Weijden had breakfast today with a cold pizza :p He was planning to sleep 1,5 hour earlier tonight (on one of those floating 'beds'), but kept waking up so he decided to get back to swimming

Unlike some other people, I'm still confident it'll happen again one day :d 

 

Sure, the chances are lower in individual years, but climate change doesn't mean there will never be a harsh winter anymore.

It is generally accepted to be the opposite

If climate change should make for more harsh winters, climate change is only hitting us in the summer... :p

      Is it true Mehdi Taremi could face visa issues due to him serving in the IRGC previously? Could US sanction professional footballers playing in World cup under FIFA?

      For the summary and lowlights of Thailand's preparation in hosting the ongoing Sea Games, I kindly suggest those who are interested to read from this English language article from Thai media outlet, Thai Enquirer: https://www.thaienquirer.com/63469/thailands-sea-games-2025-under-fire-budget-management-and-technical-controversies/

      It's all hogwash especially in the short attention span generation. Like nobody cares about Free Tibet anymore either. Free Palestine will last a lot longer due to Saudi Arabia becoming a sponsorship force in sports.   Israel is too weak in soccer to qualify from UEFA zone. The only time they qualified was from the Asian zone and they only beat Australia & New Zealand who were complete nobodies in the 1960s. No such luck in the 60 years since.

      Oh I assure you FIFA dodger a bullet with Israel not qualifying…   But ya that’s kind of the thing, shut up and dribble is a mantra anti LGBT people have used often. I don’t think it’s hypocritical to remind them of their position

      Ah, yes but that's not how pro athletes are taught in North America these days? Shut up & dribble is xenophobic, racist or whatever? The hypocrisy of some of these policies were exposed during 2022 World Cup already where the Saudis played it smart and waved their own "Free Palestine' slogans. Forget LGBT rights for a moment, how many 'Free Palestine' flags will be waved in 2026? Or will those be confiscated by default? Somehow I feel this won't be met with similar backlash when China clamped down on 'Free Tibet' in 2008 OG. Saudi Arabia is more important to global markets than Iran & Egypt

      Wisła Płock just assumed 1st position after five consecutive draws. Must be first time ever a team on a five match winless streak actually moves up to league top.

      The problem is, the World Cup is not a local event. Overall it's another storm in a teacup. LGBT rights in Muslim countries won't change a damn inch becuse of one soccer match in Seattle
