  1. Nice to see Eleanor Patterson back near her best with a clearance of 1.99 to finish just behind Mahuchikh. Hoping she doesn't get derailed by injury again.
  2. Madison Wilson retired a couple of weeks ago after giving birth to her first child last year. Won silver in the 100 backstroke at 2015 Worlds before transitioning to freestyle leading to numerous relay medals and records.
  3. Massive WR by Jacob Kiplimo in the half marathon
  4. Summer joined the sub 8:10 club in the 800 free! Would love to see a showdown with Ledecky in Singapore.
  5. Did you see Summer's 800??
  6. Is someone supposed to create the 2025 post in swimming or should I just create one?
  7. Okay maybe it's not as many as I thought but improvements in the mid teens at a single meet aren't that uncommon in the top pole vaulters. Sam Kendricks did improve by 0.21 in a single meet from 5.60 to 5.81 which is similar to this Chinese guy I only looked through the top 10 all time.
  8. It's not too crazy if you look at some of the other top pole vaulter's progressions around the same age.
  9. I saw it reported in the news Fourth place was Aussie too no? Pretty low scores. Guess the weather was shit?
  10. They've added women's 1500 freestyle and men's 800 freestyle. I guess they can get away with that because it'll be the same athletes as events already on the program but that's gonna be tough to squeeze into the schedule unless they're converting the long distance events to timed finals.
  11. Probably a casualty of reduced athlete numbers because they're not building an athlete's village.
  12. Glasgow will replace the 1500 with a mile for both sexes. https://www.thetimes.com/sport/athletics/article/commonwealth-games-evokes-memories-of-1954-as-mile-race-replaces-1500m-l56ckvv8b Gotta say I'd prefer they leave it as is.
  13. Is there supposed to be a dedicated athletics post for the 2025 season?
  14. There's no alternative host so no way they lose the games.
  15. They've been recognised by the IOC since 1995.
  16. I wouldn't say there's no chance at all but if World Netball had better leadership they'd be in a much better position than they currently are.
  17. Men have only been included in the FAST5 Netball World Series since 2022 and only because they're desperate to get into the Olympics so they've belatedly started building the men's international game. Not so long ago in 2018 the World Netball outrageously declared that international netball will remain female only bucking the trend of all the other sports federations moving towards gender equality. Imagine if they hadn't spent decades sabotaging the growth of the men's game in order to keep it "female only"? They'd have been in a much better position to bid for inclusion in the Olympics at least for 2032.
  18. Do you mean lifesaving or surf lifesaving? The former is probably more likely because the latter really only has decent amount of participation in a few countries.
  19. Would love to be a fly on the wall at some of those sessions. I hope they'll find time to compete at a domestic meet during their time in Australia but nationals falls after they leave (April 21-24) and the only other meets in that region between now and then are kinda below their level. Think it's gonna be a bit of a strange year for Australian swimming with quite a few of the athletes looking like they'll not be in anything like top shape.
  20. She should be fine doing the 50 in 2028. McEvoy is even talking about going to 2032.
  21. Katir banned for four years for tampering
  22. Leon Marchand will also train with Boxall for a few months starting in January. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/swimming/he-s-dubbed-the-next-michael-phelps-and-he-s-heading-down-under-to-train-with-our-best-coach-20241220-p5kzy1.html
  23. Basically every swim is near the top of all time age rankings. Some by quite a large margin.
