Popovici 47.56 WJR.pdfRemember one name we might hear very often at Tokyo and in the next years: David Popovici link

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

Gregorio Paltrinieri got mononucleosis...   most likely, he's going to miss the Olympics, but even if he pulls out a miracle and recovers in time, he will be chanceless in terms of medals...

To whom it may concern, (and for the first time in a while I write this sentence not to start a cover letter), here is a very brief recap of swimming qualification after some events took place. Please

Popovici just finished 47.30s with WL today. Big congrats and please send the recipe to Chinese men’s team ASAP. Ours doesn’t work any longer and we are eager to improve 1s faster in 15 days.

Still no list of OST qualified swimmers? 

Considering that none of the 4 Hungarian OST swimmers qualified, I think the number of OST qualifiers might be really small.

not talking of 'roids...

there are also other "treatments" that might benefit a swimmer...

however, I only wrote that such kind of improvement looks at least unusual -let's put it that way...not that is surely a cheater...and I really hope he's just a super-talent...but I've seen too many outstanding performances being "downgraded", to put my hand on a fire and say I'm sure, he's clean at 100%

This make more sense, but:

1. Did you check out the link to this evening's performance? does David look beefed up?

2. Do you agree with my economic argument? Romania is one of the poorest countries in Europe and funding to scientific research is practically non-existent; do you honestly think that some high-tech doping treatment would come exactly from Romania? 

3. "I've seen too many outstanding performances being downgraded" - I've seen them too; let's just think for a moment where did they come from

4. David is a genuine talent, well-known by the swimming professionals; he won gold in Olympic Youth Festival 2019 and has been steadily  improving since. Our user OlympicsFan predicted David will make the Olympic final, before these amazing performances at EJ. I would've expected technical comments from you, regarding his style & his stroke, not skepticism based on the fact that others have been proven cheaters

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

 David Popovici is amazing. I hope he takes gold in Tokyo. Very rare for a young male swimmer to have so much early success.

We maybe seeing the greatest swimmer since Michael Phelps in the making.

      I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.

      I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
