Swimming at the Summer Olympic Games 2020

[Vektor 3,326]

Under 3:30!

 

And what an awful day for Europe in the swimming pool. Zero medals.

Silver medal 

 

Manuel and Oleksiak almost tying again

51.35 split for McKeon, good freaking morning.

Wow, was not expecting a silver at all let alone a medal. What a finish by Penny!

[Agger 1,664]

And that's it for Jeanette Ottesen's carreer. Goodbye to the most winning Danish athlete ever!

4th, which is a shame, but anything from 4th to 6th would be realistic, so that's fine.

Silver is amazing, but it's also great to see Oleksiak be so strong.  Looking good for her other races.

Sad that  Anna Ntountounaki missed out on the finals in the women's 100 butterfly. She was so close finishing 9th, but with a new NR I can't complain!

 

Best result for a Greek female swimmer at the Olympics since 2004. She has improved so much, I hope she can continue this and make the final in Paris, though she is already 25 years old.
