And we still got one more 4th place, poor Kenderesi, he only needed 0.07s... You think the Hungarian coaches in the stands were looking disappointed (at least to me) because there was no WR or because Kenderesi missed the bronze by 0,07 sec? Their reaction was surprising, everybody else is so happy when their swimmers win gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably because of Kenderesi, that 4th place hurts, especially when we will win so few medals in the pool compared to Rio. rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And looks like your worries were unnecessary! Great to see how happy Sarah Kohler was when she finished the race third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see their reaction in slow-motion repeats just after the race finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangehair43 177 Posted July 28, 2021 #365 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Great result in the relay for GB. Shame they didn’t take the world record as that is a super suit one. I think it be taken sometime in the nest few years - maybe not by GB but someone will do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see going another 10-15 years without breaking it. Not a surprise. A super suit era record from a swimming team with a history of doping.

Orangehair43 177 Posted July 28, 2021 #368 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Duncan Scott looks exhausted after the relay and 200m. Doesn’t look like a medal contender really for GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdr4332 149 Posted July 28, 2021 #370 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Apparently, Katinka Hosszu is receiving a lot of abuse in social media for her performance in the Olympics. Both the guest commentator in TV (a former swimmer) and her team mates defended her in today's live broadcast. Even V. Orban wrote the following comment to her FB post: "Once a champion, always a champion. Whoever had the national anthem played in their honor in the Olympics, forever remains a hero for us" (approximate translation) This is one of the very rare instances when I agree with him completely! gubchandrolai and Braulio 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
