I thought he had it in the bag, but nope. He has been sick though, to be fair (mono, if I'm not mistaken). thiago_simoes 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

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

thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted August 1, 2021 #594 Share Posted August 1, 2021 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicsFan 783 Posted August 1, 2021 #595 Share Posted August 1, 2021 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.

Non-gold medals like this are so much better than gold medals like Dressel's. thiago_simoes 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

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. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

The new events helped the , they will win 12, same as Beijing. They would have 10 without men's 800 free and women's 1500 free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
