Both Ian Thorpe and Michael Phelps won their first Worlds gold at the age of 16.

Would be incredible to see David Popovici  win OLYMPICS gold at 16!

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

Wow, Being reported just now that :USA Michael Andrew (100 BR, 200IM 50 FS)is not vaccinated and will not be at the Olympics.

 

Check that though, he's not withdrawing, he just won't get vaccinated/be vaccinated at the Games.  The original headlines made it sound as though he was withdrawing.

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

:IRL got one in 200m men’s Butterfly

So, Andrew will not compete at Olympics? :yikes:

No, it only says he won't be vaccinated, and there's no requirement saying one needs to be vaccinated in order to compete (at least according to media writing about it).

 

It can be fairly understandable in this case. His justification is not so much being some anti-vaxxer, but about the chance that he'd have a reaction to the vaccine which would make him lose several days of training and so decrease his medal chances. So short before the Olympics, one can at least understand that choice.

I hope it's not what it looks...:coffee:

 

OK, he's very young, but almost 3 seconds of improvement in a year...:crazy:

To me it is simple: If you are a medal contender, you are doped. You could ask yourself how likely it is that someone without doping is faster than the most talented Chinese/Russian swimmers (talent pool of 1.5 billion, countries that have no problem with doping to say the least). For me the probability of something like that happening is zero. Doesn’t change the fact that he might have the most beautiful stroke of all active freestylers (alongside Sun Yang) and has a lot of room for improvement once he starts lifting weight. Paltrinieri for example has an ugly stroke and should never be as fast as he is. Also the rise of Turkey (thanks to another Italian magician, just like Ethiopia/Kenya/Uganda in athletics) makes you question how clean Italy itself is.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Another new WJR, this time at 200 m free: 1:45.26. Note: he set it in the semifinals :) 

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?

I hope he is "clean", this results are great. I hope this is big talent, not big cheater.

If Popovici is from a wealthy Western European country or USA, no one will question his legitimacy...

 

Such is the hypocrisy

Yes, my friend, I'm so glad you said it.

As you see, he's been accused of doping by users from China - who should be expelled forever from Olympics for systematic doping, and Italy - who's by no means clean. Surprisingly, no americans jumped in...so far

      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 ,
