i was talking about the olympic games: it will be decided between netherlands, great britain, germany and sweden! and another 2 good European teams on the mat and America once again privileged

I thought GB could not qualify to the olympics because they are playing as other nations in FIFA and UEFA?

Sarah Sjöström Did her olympic debut 2008 and today after a successful Championship she announced she aims towards Los Angeles 2028

Accidental lol. I don't think you know womens soccer

 no goals except penalties in the whole playoffs. But at least they won a game in full time. Better than when Portugal won men's euro. 
 

 Swedens silver in Rio was quite similar too, except that didn't win.

with that Said, they Did what they had to do to beat 3 strong teams in the playoffs and that is what counts - unfortunately

That backstroke's not gonna cut it on the final which is a shame because Sweden always seems to be one leg short in the medley relay.

The back stroke has always been that short leg but with Åstedt they should save a second. I also think L Hansson could do the backstroke which she is good at at least in short course. However I am not sure how much better she would be than Åstedt and If  that and Sjöström on the butterfly would make up for Coleman on Free. I think those options are quite similar.

Sjöström is one of the most sweet and enjoyable swimmers out there, but to be fair Phelps competed at only 6 WC (and practically 5, since he did only 1 discipline in 2001 at 15), while this is Sarah's 8th WC. Doesn't take the fact, that she is one of the greatest female swimmers ever.

Of course and she is also behind in number of golds. Sarah however was the same age at her first, but she took a gold. However what is disturbing for her when comparing historically is her olympic merits. 1 olympic gold and 3 other medals must be considered as very "bad" considering 11 world long course golds and world record in 4 LC distances

Sarah obviously had enough rest between races

Whoever decided to schedule the 50m freestyle 20 minutes after the 50m butterfly needs to be fired

They should be able to count  50 fly final results as semifinal times for 50 free. Could have be enough for Sjöström to qualify

 Sjoestroem still invincible in the 50m butterfly! Zhang and Walsh with medals too.

 

 Osman in 4th 

Sjöström has now tied Phelps long course individual world Championship medal record at 20 - chance to break it in 50 Free!

24.74 for Sjoestroem! Nobody's beating her tomorrow

 

We talk about Ledecky's dominance in the distance events but Sjoestroem might be even more dominant in this event. She has 25 of the top 26 times ever

Just too bad it is not an olympic event I guess she will make a comeback to 100 fly in Paris when she will not be able to race the 50

 Elina Kulickenko gives Cyprus their 1st gold medal ever in European U23 championships with a 1.91 mark in W HJ 

Russian with a father working in Cyprus if I understod correct?

Wow so Sad both Lightfoot and Kendricks misses the world champs 

Not smart for tourism to have it in Malmö. Feels like Copenhagen will maybe benefit more from the event than Sweden or is it just me bitter who wanted it closer to myself 

Good night despite the weather and idiot activists

Hoping you will see a Swedish WR

Looking more likely that pole vault would be cancelled than a WR considering the weather right now 

Will attend Diamond league in Stockholm today but unfortunately this is like the first rainy day of the summer that so far has been very hot and sunny 

ITA 5 points for that relay but they also should be dsq. Think the wrong runner picked up the stick

/I was misinformed about some results I shared. Sorry

The fight for escaping relegation is going to be brutal. If you had asked me this morning, i would have chosen Finland as one of the 3, but they are doing very good so far. 

Finland are 11 point back compared the calculations so this was "meant" to be a better day for them actually.

Antoher thing maybe someone knows , when givning out individual medals, not that I know if the athletes care, but do they also compare with the other divisions and there could be such results as the men's 800m where the winner comes from a lower ranked group?

Winner in A-heat finishes 5th.

Not only that, they have totally reset the score.  Because everyone knows the throwers aim at the lines.

Not the worst idea - hugely increases potential hosting opportunitis - lots of places in the southern hemisphere don't need a roof, probably moving towards a standardisation of the track dimensions, more focus on the camber, the bank turns, the short straights as a separate discipline to the 'long track'. Also allows 'short track' to experiment with new events ('weight-for-height, 'indoor' hammer, kilo, 200 m 'pursuit'-style starts, 2000m steeple etc...

Worst part of the idea is then that many events will be exactly the same. What will be the differensen between long course or short course high jump, long jump, shot put etc? 
only affects the running, the long throws non-existence and the multipla events. I mean they are still so similar that the inspiration wr are considered as overall WR now. And without even have the weather as a difference...

Sjöström 23.82 and 23.90 in 50 free, and 24.89 in 50 fly in Monaco Mare Nostrum yesterday!
