Well has just jumped into the top 4 already. Ha 

 

And in the next heat  go faster.

 

And  beats them both.

Hows the ranking for the mixed relay? 

[Agger 1,660]

Karoline Sørensen not so good, but the rest did fine putting us at a new NR. We really need a new top class swimmer for the backstroke to do better in the medley

NR for Tomáš klobučník in 100 Breaststroke, half a second behind Tokyo standard, but still the best svk swimming result in the whole 4 years cycle If we´ll by any chance receive a traditional wild card in swimming I believe he´ll be the fav to get it

and for womens side it looks more and more for Andrea Podmaníková who set our 2nd NR here this week (W 200m Breaststroke) and confirmed the Olympic Selection Time aka "B" standard.

 

If we will get the 2 wild cards, Klobučník & Podmaníková are the favs to get them, which would be quite strange and unique that our team would have only breaststroke specialists at the Olympics which never happened in the past

That was one awesome 100m backstroke final

In the upcoming mixed 4x100m medley relay, the European countries who are qualified are      

 

The 4 nations occupying the rankings are 

 3:38:41

 3:44:75

 3:47:92

 3:48:61

 

Only Brazil looks possibly in danger there but even then I think nearly every country will have to swim a NR to qualify

Brazil's time is actually 3:45.52 from the latest trials.

Thanks for that. I was only looking at the FINA site. Must note how slow they are to update for the relays I actually care about now ?

Still can't watch a race of Pellegrini without hearing the semi-old Italian dude sitting next to me all week at Barcelona 2013 go fe-de-ri-ca fe-de-ri-ca fe-de-ri-ca for the entire duration of every race with Pellegrini  

 

Can't say this was much better when he started doing a similar thing during every full race of.....Gregorio Paltrinieri

This tournament is having quite a lot of good finals, especially today

Ah, the mother of all circus events to close the day.
