TeamGB

Whose decision was this, Team Canada's or the Organising committes?

and all took the quotas so have qualified.

Yes, but all the medley components qualified anyway so I imagine they will swim it. They also mistakenly announced that the 4x100 qualified so We’ll see what they do.

I'll give it a shot. On the mens side the freestyle results were pretty standard with the usual suspects of Ben Proud, Matt Richards and Duncan Scott swimming well. I don't think any of these guys were fully tapered and Proud didn't even shave for his 50m free win (21.67). 17 year old Jacob Mills came second in both the 50 and 100m free, so is on the team for Singapore. Tom Dean has only just got back into training but qualified in the 4x100 after being preselected in the 4x200 free. James Guy looked impressive with a PB in the 200m free at 1:45.08. He also won the 400m free in a race where he went out way too fast and died at the end (3:46.64). The longer distances weren't notable. Ollie Morgan was certainly stand out swimmer on the mens side sweeping the backstrokes for a 3rd straight year. He broke the national record in the 100m with a 52.12 with a pretty poor finish. He also impressed in the 200m with a 1:55.55 Without Peaty, the mens breaststroke was pretty poor, with Greg Butler only qualifying for the relay. 17 year olds Max Morgan and Filip Nowacki took home a few medals between them. The Men's fly was also pretty pedestrian by international standards. Proud won the 50m in 23.21 with a long glide, whilst Ed Mildred took the relay spot in 51.80. 17 y.o Jack Brown was only 0.07 back Duncan Scott won the 200m (1:54.89) but he wont swim it in Singapore. Scott took the mens 200m IM in 1:56.44, whilst, Max Litchfield won the 400m in 4:11.59 On the women's side the quality wasn't as good but there were a few standout performances. Freya Colbert got close to the British record in the 200m free in 1:55.76, and Eva Okaro impressed with a 24.48 50m free. The backstrokes were disappointing with nobody breaking a minute in the 100 (1:00.03), but Katie Shanahan looked good in the 200 at (2:07.91) Angharad Evans was rapid in the breaststrokes breaking the national record in the 100 (1:05.37), and a huge PB in the 200 (2:21.86) Fly was poor with nobody breaking 58 in the 100 (58.03), but Macinnes broke the Scottish record in the 200 (2:07.14) Abbie Wood swept the Medleys with a 2:08.85 200 and a 4:36.66 400 Overall the results were alright with a few strong standout performances. As is the case in a post olympic year, the big guns took it fairly easy whilst some juniors looked really promising.

GB preselected Matt Richards for the 200m free because he medalled in Paris, so there was only 1 spot for the event at trials. And predictably, Duncan Scott and James Guy tie for Gold, so no idea who will be given the nod.

Nothing like ‘saving’ the sport of athletics by putting it behind a paywall.

I think both speed skating championships this weekend have told us that need Schulting back in the short track squad.

Maybe we have different streams, the one on Youtube is definitely British. Don't know why they have different commentators than the regular season.

Commentator butchering every pronunciation.

Watching it live I thought there could be a DQ, but I doubt Anning would have beat Bol anyway. I don't know why GB was in lane 1 anyway as they were never ahead of the Dutch. From a biased hat I would say definite DQ and that had it been any other country, that would have been the case, but sometimes you've got to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. I have to congratulate the Dutch on hosting an exceptional championships and they deserve all the sporting successes that came with it.

Edinburgh International Swim Meet next week, plenty of big names in action in the final big event before trials. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://eism.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Final-Programme1.pdf

What’s the point. We all know it will overrun and delay the start of the second half, making the players more prone to injury. It takes away from the actual spectacle (the football), and overall just feels like a forced way to make the game for ‘Americanised’ If you have ever watch the champions league final, then they do a flashy performace before the start of the match, and they boos alone tell you what the fans think of it.

Cornelius Kersten returns to action in the speed skating world cup in Herenveen this weekend. From what I understand, he can qualify for the world championships in a few weeks if he skates a fast enough time, currently 1:08.04 for the 1000m and 1:45.24 for the 1500m, although this would lower is other unqualified skaters meet those times. Whilst his PB's are both under that his form is a bit unknown, and Herenveen isn't the fastest track. Elia Smeding is also competing but hasn't really shown enough form this season for being in the hunt for qualifying. Both will be racing in the B-Division I presume so no live streaming.

Wow, thank's for this, never too early to get excited for LA. I'm not sure if this is viable, but I wonder if it would be possible to create some kind of google docs which we would all edit with additions as a sort of centralised database before LA. On a side note,I have my A-Levels coming up so my contributions might be a bit limited until the Summer, but I will still try and contribute when I can.

I think he said he was competing through training in preparation for the worlds.

From my calculations, GB is on 13 'proper' world cup win's this year (Figure skating and Curling don't count due to limited fields), which would be second behind the 15 in 2022-2023. This doesn't include the world championships which would give another 4 to 2023

Short track speed skating Europeans start tomorrow. All streamed on Skating ISU Youtube. Small British contingent although fielding the mens relay. Niall Treacy won silver last year although it will be difficult to compete with the Dutch and Italians.

The commentator kept saying something about saving something for a big 10km tommorow, so I guess we'll see.

I know not technically GB related but it's always nice to have a laugh before they get it horribly wrong. https://athleticsweekly.com/event-news/2025-world-athletics-champs-medal-predictions-1039996198/

Yeah no... You wonder why you were (as you put it) "forced out", by people daring to disagree with you and then you come back and post why this event will be cancelled, or this team isn't competing. Maybe when one of your predictions actually comes true then we'll start believing.

And a big air gold for Mia Brookes, with a promising 9th for Txema MAZET BROWN

Medal Table (Change from 2022) - 20 (+4) - 13 (+1) - 13 (+5) - 9 (+7) - 9 (=) - 7 (+2) - 7 (=) - 6 (-2) - 6 (-1) - 5 (+1) - 5 (+4) - 4 (+1) - 4 (-5) - 3 (+2) - 2 (=) - 1 (=) - 1 (+1) -5, -2, -2, -2, , -1, , -1, , -1 fail to male the list On 1st glance 1 feel I have underestimated Canada, Sweden and Finland, and overestimated GB (obviously) and Netherlands. If the Russians aren't competing then the Norwegians will have a field day in cross country skiing, but it is too early to tell. World cups and championships aren't always the best measure for some sports but it's the best I can find. As an overall trend I feel this will be a strong games for the European nations (home advantage) but the Asian nations might struggle, not necessarily at the extent I predicted here but I don't think their results will be as good as Beijing.
