It looks like Greece's time they set at the Acropolis Grand Prix at the end of May is no longer showing in the Fina Swim World Rankings. @Makedonas have you heard anything about this?

I was always a tad suspicious of 1/100 of a second on home soil. That may be unfair on my part but it didnt smell right

This is the first I hear of it. Are we still listed for the 4 x 100 mixed medley relay? We also got our qualifying time at the Acropolis Grand Prix for that event...

 

Edit-Just checked and we aren't listed there either. Does anyone know if we were originally on the list for these relays and them removed? The mixed medley relay seemed more realistic as it put us in 15th and not 16th...

 

And for the men's medley relay we qualified in Rio too so it didn't seem suspicious to me. Gkolomeev, Christou, Vazaios are all top European swimmers. Only Meretsolias (breaststroke) isn't.

I think Greece is never on the list not removed from the list. I am also confused why it didn’t submit the result to FINA in time or it have no such plan at all.

 

I am also confused that some countries’ results showed as club’s such as Hungary and Korea. I am not if they will be counted. Hope FINA release the official list soon don’t confuse us any longer.

They all celebrated qualifying in both relays and the swimmers gave interviews about it and there were articles and social media posts about them qualifying for Tokyo...what a mess it would be if they miss out due to some error in not reporting the results :facepalm:

I can't claim credit for finding this. It was sent to me by the American based Brazilian swimming coach Alex Pusseildi

I think the Athen's meet wasn't approved as a qualifying event because of some issues with the doping tests after the races...

 

it's the most probable explaination for that meet not being taken into consideration...

We also had a swimmer qualify in the men's 800 freestyle from that event and it looks like that's no longer the case either. So it wasn't just the relays but the whole meet.

    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He chances the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for smal/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
    • was also invited to the special edition of the Bolivarian Games and seems like  is not participating.
