Twenty minutes for ceremonies in the middle of the program seems like a bit of a scheduling issue...  

It’s to allow Katinka Hosszu to get a massage.

 

WR for Kolesnikov 50m Back!

I'd also be up for singles and doubles to get 2 boats in rowing and canoeing and limit it to 1 only for quadruples and eights, but my dreams are never going to be coming true. 

Fun fact, starting in Tokyo, canoeing sprint will allow 2 boats for singles and doubles.

Yeah, they don’t want to make it that obvious.

A Euro title for Greece  (even, if it's a shared title). First one since Aristeidis Grigoriadis, if i'm not mistaken

First since Andreas Vazaios in 2016 (men's 200 individual medley)

 

Pretty sure this is the first gold medal ever for Greek women's swimming. I think we've done it at the junior level and in open water swimming but definitely not in the pool. Even better that this is an Olympic event too (100 butterfly). Women's swimming in our country has never been good, except for an occasional bronze or something at a European Championships once in a while. This is a big improvement. We've improved so much in swimming over the past 5-10 years even though it's been mostly men's swimming (Gkolomeev, Vazaios, Papastamos, Christou etc)

 

Anna won bronze in this event at the 2019 short course Euros so I wasn't too surprised about the medal but gold, wow! So proud of her and she totally smashed her own NR.

I actually like it more than having one ceremony for every two or three events, it's like a half-time break where TV channels can have experts analyze the races and show interviews if they don't want to broadcast the ceremonies.

Wasick with silver medal in Olympic event!

no, the last one was the 200m IM gold by Andreas Vazaios in 2016 (the last success by Grigoriadis dates back to 2012)...
