Well now I’m confused. A WA spokesperson has denied that the Chinese 4x200m freestyle relay has been disqualified according to SwimSwam.

Not really sure how to feel about this with all that’s going on right now, but “World Champion” Tang Qianting fired off a new AR of 1:04.68 in the women’s 100m breaststroke at the Chinese Olympic Trials (in the semifinals)

From what meet?

Idiotic commentators. Stop talking about the Olympic qualifying time when talking about Wanyonyi as if it’ll guarantee him Paris selection. He’ll probably qualify regardless though, but he still has to place within the top three at the Kenyan Olympic Trials.

Wanyonyi betters Arop’s WL not even an hour later, as he clocks a 1:43.58 in the men’s 800m!

Only streaming on Curling Channel and Recast for Canadians so don’t think I’ll be watching. Seriously I don’t get why TSN (or any other major Canadian broadcasters) don’t ever stream the Mixed Doubles World Championships. Maybe if it was somewhere else I would understand, but in Canada? Curling is a pretty popular sport here and we always have pairings in medal contention.

Ethan Katzberg with the meet of his life at the Kip Keino Classic. By a fucking mile. Before today his PB in men’s hammer throw was 81.25m at the 2023 World Championships, where he became a surprise World Champion. Starts off with 81.79m in R1, then 82.06m in R2, 81.50m in R4, 84.38m (!! yes you heard me right) in R5, and 83.26m in R6. That’s 5 marks under his previous PB (the other one was a foul), and a 3.13m improvement. Edit: Also moves him to #9 on the all-time list, none of the athletes above him are still competing. Not to mention he’s only 21 (!) years old, in an event where athletes don’t peak until later on in their career. @intoronto @Topicmaster1010 @james89 @orangeman @NearPup

83.26m in the final round for Katzberg. What a start to the Olympic season for him.

HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. (sorry for swearing) Katzberg WITH A HUGE PB OF 84.38m in Round 5 of men’s hammer throw
