Bohemia 1,259 Posted July 19, 2017 #31 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Olivier and Muller, 2 people, 4 medals, 2 gold medals It's funny how when our other swimming team is collapsing, this one is starting to shine (well, it had already started but you know what I mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,550 Posted July 20, 2017 #32 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) The fight goes on between 'team mates' Sharon van Rouwendaal and Aurelie Muller. Last year Muller got DQ'ed at the Olympics for pushing one of the Italian women under water, followed by Van Rouwendaal winning gold, which lead to frustrated Muller not speaking a single word to her (they train together with Philippe Lucas) for a year. This time at the 5km, Muller pushed Van Rouwendaal and Cunha in the fight for 2nd, 3rd and 4th, but this time it didn't lead to a DQ for Muller. To use Van Rouwendaal's exact words: "It's never going to be alright between us anymore, what an incredible bitch she is." http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/28695267/__Van_Rouwendaal_na__bitch_fight____Wat_een_trut_is_dat_wijf___.html Gotta love a good rivalry.

heywoodu 13,550 Posted July 21, 2017 #39 Share Posted July 21, 2017 The 25km started more than 3 hours ago but it's not even on the ES Player, there's still no live timing or anything....this world champs really suck in terms of organization/timing and that kind of things.
