He will have to drop the 100 free at the Olympics because it's an impossible double with the 200 fly (adjacent events).

Someone commented elsewhere that they're focusing on relays.

You'd have to think it will happen in Fukuoka next year along with the Titmus vs Ledecky vs McIntosh showdown in the 400.

Unfortunately all her relay mates have now retired.

Italy also had the top four in the heats in the women's 100 breast. Would you prefer they just limit entries to two like at the Olympics and Worlds?

I follow swimming most of the year including meets where no Australians compete like European Championships starting this week. Other meets I'll be paying attention to this month are Junior Worlds, Junior Pan Pacs, Aussie Short Course Champs (selection meet for Short Course Worlds), Duel in the Pool. Another busy month.

Canada and I think also Japan are going to JPPs.

That was easily the fastest 200 free relay split of all time by Titmus.

Works fine for me in Chrome on Linux and I don't have a MacBook to test.

Yes, I've been tempted a few times to write a bit of a rant about the new schedule but bit my tongue. They've obviously gone to great lengths to ensure that Ledecky's schedule is basically perfect after her complaining (and probable lobbying) so now the 200/1500 double that only she does is perfect but then the much more common men's 4x200/800 double continues to exist and now there's also a men's 200 free/400 im double which will screw over more people than the women's 200/1500 double ever has. I know it's petty but I'll be laughing if they go to so much trouble to give her the prefect schedule and she still fails to podium in the 200 and both Titmus and McIntosh beat her in the 400.

Me too. It's mostly people from the non-Commonwealth countries that seem to shit on the Commies.

I don't know if this has been shared already but it's an interesting article. Despite huge success at world championships, track popularity lags in U.S. No surprise they won't be heading back to Eugene which should never have hosted to begin with.

If there were issues with the timing system they'll never admit it because it could undermine many of the other performances at the meet.

🥇🥇🥉 is Australia's second best result after 🥇🥇🥉🥉 in 2009. We're hardly an athletics power.

Wasn't wind legal (+2.5)

Big PB by Jenneke 12.82 -> 12.66 but misses the final.

She's gonna have huge pressure now in the final.

Wow. Amusan just crushed Harrison's WR!

Some of these performances lately. What's even happening?

Unlike the longer distances I didn't think the "magic" shoes used in the sprints were particularly helpful. Maybe sometime soon we'll find out that there is instead a new undetectable performance enhancer.

Probably shouldn't have changed coach. If it ain't broke ...

Id there an entry list PDF for swimming anywhere?

Even without Mboma there are some strong DSD challengers in the women's 200.

It's been years since a podium level track and field athlete has been busted by USADA but at least there's AIU to actually do the job they're failing to do.
