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.

      Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)

      I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
