Sure, but that doesn't really change the general strengths (like a weak swimmer suddenly becoming one of the better ones because of this)  

There you go 2:10 for Kate French as against 2:15 for the other heats.

No idea what her normal level is compared to those others though.

Only Kovacs better in that heat.

Yeah, now, but I mean, what their expected level is. It's like if Niklas Kaul is 10th after day one of the decathlon, media might say he's having a hard time, when in reality he might actually have put himself in strong medal contention with that.

Right, that helps  

 

More than excellent swim for Kovacs, it seems.

That was great from our girls, too bad that swimming is the least important of the four events.

Does the swim even matter in modern pentathlon? A three second difference is only translating into six points.

[Vektor 3,326]

Is there seriously no overall (fencing+swimming) ranking anywhere?
