Sadly another expected gold for Finke. This guy has one of the most absurd progressions i have ever seen. From complete nobody to dominating Wellbrock/Romanchuk/Paltrinieri, the athletes who dominated men's distance freestyle for years, within a year. If i ever hear another american crying about russian doping again, i will cause a massacre. The US is the dirtiest country of them all, yet their fans somehow find a way to be stupid enough to think that they are the victim.

Bruno is so happy! He's been trying to get an Olympic medal for 10 years. He did everything he could for this medal. I can't believe he got it!

Non-gold medals like this are so much better than gold medals like Dressel's.

The final sprints from this guy lol. :d 

Lol is the correct reaction. Wellbrock/Paltrinieri/Romanchuk dominated men's distance freestyle for the whole olympiad and then this nobody comes around and makes them look like amateurs. He is probably dirty enough to glow in the dark.

The 'bright' side though is that USA is much less dominant than four years ago.

The new events helped the :USA , they will win 12, same as Beijing. They would have 10 without men's 800 free and women's 1500 free.

So only 3 European countries win gold medals in the swimming pool, :GBR  :ROC  :HUN This might be a new negative record. 

Obviously the main reason is the fact that the US forced morning finals on everyone else. Not easy to be at your best when you have to do it at 3 AM. I am sure that we will see a differet picture in 2024.

    • A further update: https://skiracing.com/cyprien-sarrazin-recovery-bormio-crash/   There is optimism about his recovery in general, which is great news, but it’s far from certain that he’ll ever ski again.
    • I saw on another website the BBC are working on the assumption GB is  only doing the Euros and not the Worlds. 
    • Also, Mondo Duplantis has announced he is skipping the Euros but is going to China for the Worlds.  Imagine lots of other established names will do the same.  Some might prefer to skip the travel of course & just do Apeldoorn.
