I ended up doing it in the end, what's your excuse now?  

is in

is in

This whole thing is, quite honestly, absurd. Two wrongs don't make a right, and this is exactly what happened in this situation.
 
What I understand is:
 
1. Chiles filed an inquiry based on her difficulty score. One of her leaps was not validated (it was not completed), so she asked the judges to review the leap so she could gain 0.1 more in difficulty. Astonishingly, it's very clear that the leap wad NOT fully rotated, but judges somehow decided that it was complete and awarded her 0.1 more in difficulty, which put her ahead of Bărbosu.
 
Now, questioning whether the leap was fully rotated or not would open a can of worms because it would come down to interpretations of the code of points, and this would not lead anywhere. It depends on the angles where the judges are sitting and the pressure of delivering a definitive verdict in less than a minute, so a medal would never be stripped based on this;
 
2. Voinea was penalized with a neutral deduction (-0.1) because judges thought she had stepped out of bounds. Her mother and coach could have challenged this penalty, but instead she challenged Voinea's difficulty score, which was clearly hit by Voinea's somewhat poor execution at some points. Not the most thoughtful move. Challenging the penalty after the competition would not lead anywhere because the rules allowed her to challenge the penalty during the competition and she didn't;
 
3. Bărbosu did not really have any reason to complain about her scores. She presented her routine and was scored accordingly.
 
Given the technical procedures, I understand that Romania found a breach so the country could have a medal. Romania is not wrong at all. They have every right to contest the situation and the discovery of the inquiry being accepted 4 seconds too late is a genius move. Romania dodged a bullet by not accusing the execution judges of being biased (which they were, but it's nearly impossible to prove this objectively).
 
Now, if we want justice, we have to understand that Voinea is the true winner of the bronze medal. She was penalized unfairly and had her mother challenged the penalty at the time, she would have had a medal for herself. Bărbosu has a medal now, and this is great for Romania, but the one who really deserved the medal is still empty-handed because the judges made a mistake. No matter how we look at it, there are no winners here.
 
 

There would be no positives in sharing the medal. The judges did everything to promote the American and screw the Romanian and they probably realize the world actually still pays attention to this sport and see the biased scoring so they found a technical reason not to look biased for once.

Sure, an olympic medal is an olympic medal and is very well that Barbosu gained it in the end, but entire world saw what type of refs we have, so nothing change my opinion about them, not even this medal after the apeal. For me those refs remain a big garbages

Let's give all medals in all sports to the USA. Maybe this way they will stop these robberies everytime they compete in Olympics. 

Of course they are dominant when the judges are on their side. Wait and see in 2028 when Olympics are in Los Angeles. 

Popovici gold!
 
Congrats! @zob79

Relay Power Rankings: Men's 4x100m Medley Relay
 
Other Power Rankings:
Women's 4x200m Freestyle Relay
 
Remember, for each country, I'm taking the top 4 eligible swimmers for each country and using their best times from 2024 to form a estimated relay time. 1.5 seconds will be subtracted from each cumulative time to account for reaction times.
 
*Please note that the order of swimmers is arranged from fastest to slowest times, NOT by predicted relay order.
 
16.  Austria - 3:33.17
Backstroke: Bernhard Reitshammer - 54.54 Valentin Bayer - 1:00.49 Butterfly: Simon Bucher - 51.28 Freestyle: Heiko Gigler - 48.36  
Not surprising to see Austria at the bottom of the rankings with Simon Bucher the only swimmer than had an OQT in the qualification period. Heiko Gigler is a decent option at freestyle but the other two legs drag this relay down.
 
15.  Ireland - 3:32.57
Backstroke: Conor Ferguson - 53.87 Breaststroke: Darragh Greene - 59.91 Butterfly: Max Mc Cusker - 51.90 Freestyle: Shane Ryan - 48.39  
Ireland actually doesn't have a single member of this relay that had an OQT in the stroke 100s during the qualification period. However, they were all just outside of their respective OQTs and that's enough to put them ahead of Austria here.
 
14.  Switzerland - 3:32.44
Backstroke: Roman Mityukov - 53.58 Breaststroke: Jeremy Desplanches - 1:00.90 Butterfly: Noe Ponti - 50.16 Freestyle: Antonio Djakovic - 49.30  
Noe Ponti is one of the best butterfliers in the world (currently ranked 2nd this year) and Roman Mityukov is a decent backstroker. However, the breaststroke and freestyle legs are too much of a weakness to prevent this relay on moving further up in the rankings.
 
13.  South Korea - 3:32.01
Backstroke: Lee Juho - 53.81 Breaststroke: Choi Dongyeol - 59.74 Butterfly: Kim Jihun - 52.05 Freestyle: Hwang Sunwoo - 47.91  
This relay definitely had the potential to be higher up in the rankings. Hwang Sunwoo is an elite freestyler. Lee Juho has been as quick as 53.32 in his career and Choi Dongyeol has been as quick as 59.28 but neither one has found their best form this year. It's a shame that Kim Youngbeom wasn't selected for the Olympic team. He recently broke the Korean 100m butterfly record in a time of 51.65 (a few months after the team selection).
 
12.  Spain - 3:31.41
Backstroke: Hugo Gonzalez - 52.70 Breaststroke: Carles Coll - 1:00.39 Butterfly: Mario Molla - 51.48 Freestyle: Sergio de Celis - 48.34  
Hugo Gonzalez has established himself as an elite backstroker and Mario Moll and Sergio Celis should provide decent legs. The breaststroke leg needs to be the difference maker if Spain wants a chance to make the final.
 
11.  Japan - 3:31.16
Backstroke: Riku Matsuyama - 53.72 Breaststroke: Taku Taniguchi - 59.43 Butterfly: Naoki Mizunuma - 51.23 Freestyle: Katsuhiro Matsumoto - 48.28  
Here, we have our first relay where all 4 swimmers were under their respective OQTs. However, there aren't any standout legs which is why they rank 11th here. Naoki Mizunuma has the highest world rank of the 4 swimmers at 19th in the 100m butterfly. Katsuhiro Matsumoto actually ranks 12th but the relay add up time is faster with him at freestyle.
 
10.  Canada - 3:30.89
Backstroke: Blake Tierney - 53.48 Breaststroke: Finlay Knox - 1:00.66 Butterfly: Josh Liendo - 50.06 Freestyle: Yuri Kisil - 48.19  
Josh Liendo is the big star here and will be expected to be the difference maker in this relay. Blake Tierney is greatly improving in the backstroke and Yuri Kisil is a decent option at freestyle. Like with most Canadian medley relays, breaststroke is the biggest weakness here. Finlay Knox will be expected to take the role and given his rapid improvement this year in the 200 IM, it's not out of the question for him to drop more time.
 
9.  Poland - 3:30.60
Backstroke: Ksawery Masiuk - 53.09 Breaststroke: Jan Kalusowski - 59.58 Butterfly: Jakub Majerski - 50.98 Freestyle: Mateusz Chowaniec - 48.45  
Poland might have the most underrated medley relay of any team. Jakub Majerski has improved greatly this season and ranks 12th in the world in the 100m butterfly. Ksawery Masiuk also ranks in the top 20 in the 100m backstroke this year and is still a teenager. Kalusowski and Chowaniec have times just outside the OQT in their respective events.
 
8.  Netherlands - 3:30.21
Backstroke: Kai van Westering - 53.80 Breaststroke: Arno Kamminga - 58.87 Butterfly: Nyls Korstanje - 50.90 Freestyle: Sean Niewold - 48.14  
With the addition of Kai van Westering and the emergence of Sean Niewold, the Netherlands will be a contender to make the final. They'll likely join Arno Kamminga (or Caspar Corbeau) and Nyls Korstanje on the relay who are both top 10 in the world in their respective events.
 
7.  Germany - 3:30.18
Backstroke: Ole Braunschweig - 53.48 Breaststroke: Melvin Imoudu - 58.84 Butterfly: Kaii Winkler - 51.51 Freestyle: Josha Salchow -47.85  
Germany is a country that's made great improvements in the medley relay this year. Josha Salchow has dropped more than a second off his freestyle time in 2023 to improve his PB to 47.85. Melvin Imoudu has had a breakout year and his breaststroke PB stands at 58.84 now. Germany was also able to get one of the top American prospects Kaii Winkler to join their team which will be a big boost on the butterfly leg. Ole Braunschweig should also have a decent backstroke leg.
 
6.  Italy - 3:29.55
Backstroke: Thomas Ceccon - 52.43 Breaststroke: Nicolo Martinenghi - 58.84 Butterfly: Alberto Razzetti - 52.06 Freestyle: Alessandro Miressi - 47.72  
It was only two years ago that Italy won an unexpected gold at the 2022 World Championships in this relay. With Thomas Ceccon, Nicolo Martinenghi and Alessandro Miressi, they have 3 elite swimmers which all rank in the top 12 in the world this year in their respective events. Not a single Italian hit the 51.67 OQT during the qualification period. Alberto Razzetti will likely be asked to do the butterfly leg. He's an world class IMer and 200m butterflyer but his 100m butterfly best time this year is only 52.06 and that just won't cut it against the other top nations. If he can drop some time, Italy could factor into the medals.
 
5.  Australia - 3:28.99
Backstroke: Isaac Cooper - 53.46 Breaststroke: Sam Williamson - 58.80 Butterfly: Matthew Temple - 50.60 Freestyle: Kyle Chalmers - 47.63  
Despite Kyle Chalmers only having a season best of 47.63, we all know he's going to be much faster than that in Paris. Arguably no one has been more clutch on relays than him so if Australia is within striking distance of a medal heading into the freestyle leg, they'll get it. Sam Williamson has had a breakthrough year going under 59 seconds for the first time in his career at the Australian Trials. That's turned a longtime Australian weakness into a possible strength this year. Matthew Temple, at his best, is an elite butterflier but he failed to break the 51 second barrier at Australian Trials. He's been as quick as 50.25 in his career so the Australians will be hoping he can be at that form in Paris. The big question mark will be on the backstroke leg where Isaac Cooper has the fastest time this year at 53.46. He'll need to be faster if Australia wants to contend for the medals.
 
4.  France - 3:28.93
Backstroke: Mewen Tomac - 52.88 Breaststroke: Leon Marchand - 59.06 Butterfly: Maxime Grousset - 50.59 Freestyle: Florent Manaudou - 47.90  
Two impressive performances have helped vault France in the middle of medal contention. First, Leon Marchand set a monster PB in the 100m breaststroke going 59.06. Then at French Trials, Florent Manaudou set a PB in the 100m freestyle of 47.90. Add a top 12 backstroker + the reigning 100m butterfly world champion to the mix and you've got a really good relay. You can make an argument of putting Grousset on the freestyle leg and Clement Secchi on the butterfly leg but I did the math and based on their season bests, putting Grousset and Manadou in the relay makes the relay faster by 0.01 seconds.
 
3.  Great Britain - 3:28.67
Backstroke: Ollie Morgan - 52.70 Breaststroke: Adam Peaty - 57.94 Butterfly: Joe Litchfield - 51.71 Freestyle: Matt Richards - 47.82  
At British Trials, we got to see both the return to form of Adam Peaty and the emergence of Ollie Morgan as one of the best backstrokers in the world. It was after those swims that everyone thought the British medley relay could contend for gold. After all, Matt Richards had also just come off of a finals appearance in the 100m freestyle at the 2023 World Championships. But then the 100m butterfly leg happened. Surprisingly, Jacob Peters, the best British butterflyer over the past two years failed to make the Olympic Team and the race was won by Joe Litchfield in a pedestrian time of 51.71. Whether or not they will use Litchfield or clutch relay performer James Guy remains to be seen but either way, the butterfly leg will be the biggest difference maker for Great Britain.
 
2.  China - 3:27.13
Backstroke: Xu Jiayu - 52.39 Breaststroke: Qin Haiyang - 58.24 Butterfly: Wang Changhao - 51.20 Freestyle: Pan Zhanle - 46.80  
Speaking of a key butterfly leg, China will also need one. China currently boasts the 4th ranked 100m backstroker in the world, the 2nd ranked 100m breaststroker in the world, and the top ranked 100m freestyler in the world who just broke the world record at the 2024 World Championships. Wang Changhao will likely be relied on for the butterfly leg. He's just coming off setting a PB at Chinese Olympic Trials and ranks 18th in the world this year. If he can stay in touch with Caeleb Dressel, they'll have the World Record holder, Pan Zhanle, to bring them home.
 
1.  United States - 3:26.56
Backstroke: Ryan Murphy - 52.22 Breaststroke: Nic Fink - 58.57 Butterfly: Caeleb Dressel - 50.19 Freestyle: Jack Alexy - 47.08  
Not surprisingly, the team that everybody will be chasing is the US, who has won every edition of this relay in Olympic history that they've competed in. There are no clear weaknesses on this team. So far this year, Ryan Murphy ranks 1st in the world in the 100m backstroke, Nic Fink ranks 3rd in the 100m breaststroke, Caeleb Dressel ranks 3rd in the 100m butterfly, and Jack Alexy ranks 3rd in the 100m freestyle.
