by the way, on android systems, there's a nice NPO app, where you can catch up all the NPO programs of the last few days, live broadcast of the swimming ECHs included (I can watch it from Italy even without a VPN...last week I followed the Field Hockey Finals of the men's Hoofdklasse between Bloemendal and Kampong )...

 

p.s. I found also the rest of yesterday's women's 100m Backstroke #1:

 

5.  Wild, 59.82

6.  Fesikova and  De Waard, 1.00.33

8.  Hansson, 1.02.29

Big disappointment for Toussaint, thats got to be rough to go from a silver to 4th

I've been arguing that the event be decided by the best times in either race.

That way Toussaint would get a bronze for her 59.02 in the first final behind Dawson 58.18 and Panziera's 59.01 in the rerun

in the women's 50m breaststroke heats,  Benedetta Pilato, still quite angry from the 100m outcome (eliminated after the heats with the 3rd fastest time overall only because she was also the 3rd fastest Italian competitor over that distance), this morning decided to swim at her best and clocked 29.50, just 2 1/100s of a second outside  Meilutyte's continental record and 10/100s outside Lilly King's world record...

[heywoodu 16,004]

World record 29.30 for Pilato  

 

What a phenom, it's really too bad she just wasn't strong enough yet in a bit longer distance than a sprint  

 

At least, I am assuming she won't go to the Olympics because of that?

She will go, she swam 1.06.0 and qualified, Castiglioni at the moment is out, but I hope our federation will select her for the mixed relay...

Oh, I thought I read it would be decided here and due to Pilato finishing 3rd, she's most likely out  

 

Good news!

Yessssss Gorbrnko

[Vektor 3,326]

I think Hosszú will be more angry about that she couldn't go under 2:10 than about the bronze. As it was expected, 400IM is her best chance to win gold (or any medal) in Tokyo.

So happy for Heemskerk's 100m freestyle win!
