    Very happy for Masse, but not a great time for her. Sorry for Ruck.
  2. orangeman
    Ok, ok, ok. Enough drama. Let's just have a nice boring race where everyone does their best.

    Fina has to pay the bills somehow. Warning: Unsubstantiated claims contained in this post!
  4. orangeman
    The synchro swimmers are telling these swimmers to settle down.

    At this point, it's FINA's fault for even allowing him to be here. Same with the Olympics allowing the Russians. Apparently twitching on the starting blocks (not false starting) gets you DQ'd, but doping and smashing the evidence is a-o-k.
  6. orangeman
    Apparently it was movement on the starting blocks. People over at swimswam, who have no love for Sun, agree. But I haven't seen a replay.
  7. orangeman
    Scott not shaking Sun's hand. The drama continues.
  8. orangeman
    I don't criticize people for celebrating aggressively, as Sun always does. But doing it when someone else gets DQ'd is classless. Not surprised, though.

    I hope the necessary nightly drama is done now. No need to have drama in the women's 100m backstroke. Everything should go according to plan there.
  10. orangeman
    She isn't entered for the 50m free. I think she was only entered in the 100 and 200 free and back. And then the 5 relays, one assumes. You're right though, the mixed free relay would probably go if she's in the 200 back final since it's Canada's weakest shot at a medal and isn't an Olympic event.
  11. orangeman
    Disappointed about Ruck in the 200. I guess she's focusing on the 100m back tonight and the relays (as well as 100m later on). Too bad, she was a real medal threat in this event, especially considering the other withdrawals. Maybe the coaches are smelling a gold in the medley relay and want to make sure Ruck is rested enough. Maybe they found a breaststroker somewhere in the Boreal forest. Edit to say: At least Oleksiak moved on, and she's looking good.
  12. orangeman
    According to her coaches she is in fact sick, and has been since arriving in Korea. 1500m up in the air.
  13. orangeman
    And now a chance for another Canadian to stop the favourite from winning her 4th consecutive title.....
  14. orangeman
    That was a nice message by the butterfly ladies. Canada, Sweden and Australia: Nice people.

    MACNEIL!
  17. orangeman
    Oh, yeah, for sure. Idk why I forgot about that and jumped to the mixed relay.
  18. orangeman
    Well, really, it'll probably be Richard Funk anyway so as to allow for Masse and Ruck (probably).
  19. orangeman
    I was thinking the same. She should have easily made the semis, hopefully she's not injured or something. Canada doesn't really have another breaststroker in either gender.
  20. orangeman
    Thanks to you, too.
  21. orangeman
    Ok, thanks.
  22. orangeman
    Where are people seeing the detailed results? The FIna page is not being updated.
  23. orangeman
    Oleksiak is rounding back into form and Ruck is only getting better. Watch out for Canada in Tokyo.
  24. orangeman
    Yay MacNeil going to the final!
  25. orangeman
    I'm at https://www.raiplay.it/dirette/rai2 but you need to have a VPN for Italy. CBC will show the finals tomorrow morning (allegedly).
