We now have 4 4th places in swimming from 4 different swimmers, and only 2 medals, both are from Milák. 

Same, and in all 4 races the NR was broken

I'm glad I had a heart check up yesterday and even though I discovered I have high blood pressure -- yes, it sucks -- at least my heart is in good shape. Following this marathon was all the proof I needed. LOL.

Sorry about your condition but yes, I almost couldn't handle. But I was brave enough to not turn off the TV this time

Next step: doing this marathon to really make sure it's in good shape.

No but seriously, take care!

I didn't follow anything from Swimming this time, except for Brazil, so I'm surprised to learn Hosszu didn't win a medal

I will. I've started taking meds and it will be alright.

Yeah, she was even weaker than expected. For a swimmer of her caliber she really only had one good Games, Rio, both London and Tokyo are disappointments.

 

We are so cursed with events involving swimming that I wouldn't be surprised if Rasovszky also finishes 4th tomorrow and then the women's water polo team will also miss their medal chance for the 4th time just to add insult to injury.

I wish the best for you. I think as you age you sort of expect HBP, so hopefully it won't affect you moving fw.

On TV, Ana Marcela thanks her girlfriend, fellow marathon swimmer Allan do Carmo, and Fratus/Scheffer for the inspiration after they won medals
