? Probability i made a wrong translation, but (as all Italian team) they're working for have the best physical condition in Tokyo and not here.

Obviously, the same is (very likely) true for everyone who qualified for Tokyo.

In that case you seem to have a problem with your memory? 


Eva Risztov PB at 16

Krisztina Egerszegi PB at 17

Reka Gyorgy PB at 19

Eszter Szabo-Feltothy PB at 17


Just to name a few ...

I didn't think of Risztov and Egerszegi as "failed" swimmers because they are Olympic champions. It's also insane to compare Egerszegi at 17 to Mihályvári as Egerszegi set world records at that stage of her career and one of them stood the test of time for almost two decades. Mihályvári isn't doing anything crazy like that here, she's just improving as she should. Risztov is one of the most craziest careers of the last few decades and she still won the Olympic gold in the end. As for the other two swimmers, they never truly had their breakthrough on the senior level like Mihályvári so I didn't even remember them in this context. As Hungarian media only cares about the medalist and champions, we frequently have swimmers who get demoralized if they don't have their big breakthrough that puts the spotlight on them. Mihályvári now has an ECh medal and will likely get somewhat famous here for winning it at 17, she is now among the "top tier" Hungarian swimmers in an event where she likely won't have to compete with a stronger Hungarian as Hosszú's career is ending. She can be one of our most important swimmers after Tokyo, we usually don't waste those.

Russia again wins out of nowhere?

 

EDIT: I see he has a medal from Gwangju... Meh, it's impossible to casually follow swimming.

I feel this! So many names, disciplines and times to remember!

 

I only caught the relays tonight. We're so reliant on Kromowidjojo and Heemskerk on the women's side, but they got really close in the end. And apparently an OQ for the men.

do you know if countries outside of Europe will try to qualify relay? I mean are there events for them in plan?

Crazy men's 4 x 100 freestyle relay final!

 

NRs for 5 of the 8 countries. Congrats :GBR:GRE:SUI:SRB:NED

 

Our NR was 3:14.42 from 2016, now we got 3:13.39 and fifth place. Third European Championships in a row where we finished in the top 5. Hopefully in 2022 we can finally win a medal in this relay.

 

We also set NRs today in men's 50m backstroke, men's 400m freestyle, and equaled NR in women's 100m butterfly. Hopefully tomorrow we will set new NRs in men's 50m backstroke and women's 100m butterfly again, and win medals in those events.

 

Also our first relay swimmer in men's 4x100 freestyle broke the NR in men's 100m freestyle. Not sure if that is official because it was in the relay. It's good enough for OQT for Tokyo (48.39 and the OQT is 48.57).

Yeah, first leg in a relay counts for a NR.

Thank you. Does it also count for an Olympic quota? None of the Greek sports sites mentioned that, they only talk about NR

I think the timing of this event is stupid. They should either only have it every 4 years (2018 -> 2022 and so on) or they should have had it earlier in the year (beginning of April) to allow everyone to peak there and at the Olympics. Also as an official i definitely wouldn’t have allowed my top athletes to compete. Any unnecessary trip (to a foreign country) in the current situation is pretty stupid, especially for people who make their living by being in top shape.

      There is a transgender volleyball player here in Brazil; there was even a recent controversy (this year) when a city banned her from playing in a certain competition, which ended up in court, ultimately in her favor.   But the situation is much simpler than that; the reason for this decision is because of the two female boxers who won at Paris 2024 (who apparently are not transgender).

      there were rumors about it for quite a while, but as I wrote, it was never confirmed so, it might well be just some haters throwing out some shit on her 🤷

      Where did you get that?   I'm not sure I would have considered her to have dissapeared from out of nowhere, at least since after Tokyo... she did win medals at the next two World Championships. I think it's just recently, she's been struggling with injury which is why she's completely out of form...

      Even though I'm not the biggest fan of her, always sucks to see a career ending through injury and not on your own terms

      This is going to have an effect on very likely 0 athletes, possibly 1 or 2 we don't really know about yet. It's really mostly the cheapest possible way for them to make a sort of political statement, without having any significant backlash since it won't really affect anyone at the top level of international sports.   Edit: worded a bit wrong, I was thrown off by everywhere 'trans women' being mentioned as the target of this. Of course there is also the somewhat larger category of DSD and the likes, which will certainly affect a few athletes - unfortunately they are often thrown under the bus or mentioned as 'not really women anyway' or something like that, despite, you know, being.
