Saw this yesterday and had to double check, if the timing was right. This would have been good for a Bronze at last years WC 

 

Still not getting any hopes up, since i know, when the big championship comes, the under-performance also does.

She was such a talent. It's a pity she has finished her career so quickly.

 

 

I don’t agree ... 

She got lucky that she was let off the hook so easily. She should be remembered as a cheater and not as a champion.

I think at least Dressel, Rooney, Milak and Minakov have a better shot at winning a medal. Miladinov is a really interesting case though. If I remember correctly he lived in Germany until 2 years ago. I am not sure whether he was born there or only went there as a child though ...

Switzerland has really made a stunning progress in swimming recently. Now they have 4 athletes (Ponti, Desplanches, Mamie and Ugolkova) who could make the final in Tokyo.
