At the Russian trials he swam 24.08 and 52.24, so if his improvement in the 50 back translates, he should be able to go 51.6. I just wonder if he will be able to replicate those performances (or even improve on them) in Tokyo. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,195 Posted May 19, 2021 #123 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I am very happy about that Németh finally went under 48, I think even he didn't expect it before the ECh that he will be already able to do it here, before the Games. This is the first time ever that a time under 48 wasn't enough for the medal at the ECh in men's 100m freestyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,195 Posted May 19, 2021 #124 Share Posted May 19, 2021 According to the Hungarian commentator Kolesnikov fainted after the 100 back SF. The two events back-to-back must have been too much for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agger 1,591 Posted May 19, 2021 #125 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Damn, Julie Kepp is consistent on that 50m backstroke! Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 1,617 Posted May 19, 2021 #126 Share Posted May 19, 2021 HUGE NR for Apostolos Christou in the 100 backstroke! He was first in the semifinals with 52.77. The previous record was 53.03 from Grigoriadis. Christou's previous personal record was 53.23. Christou won bronze in this event in 2016 and in 2018 again, hopefully now he can change the colour of the medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was scrolling through the results just now and came here to see if anyone else had noticed. 28,01 in the semi-finals, then 28,01 in the swim-off and then 28,01 in the final. That’s impressively consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway here's the rankings for those not qualified 1 7:07:67 * 2 7:10:44 3 7:12:73 4 7:12:99 5 7:13:06 6 7:13:08 *I assume that the time earned by the team "Magyar Valogatott" can count for If not, then they're they're now behind everybody. Perhaps one of our Hungarian posters would know for sure. and improve their times but not their position. If 2 countries currently outside the top 15 in the world don't beat 7:12:00 then Ireland will send it's first swimming relay team to the Olympics since 1972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
