    Schouten who won 3 golden medals and 1 silver medal this weekend has decided to retire! She also won 3 golden medals at the 2022 Olympics.
     
    Quite a surprise to be honest

    qualified a men's 4x100 medley relayteam in today's prelims. Last time we entered this event at the Games was London 2012. Now finally we have a decent backstroke swimmer, Kai van Westering. Together with Caspar Corbeau/Arno Kamminga (breast), Nyls Korstanje (fly) and Stan Pijnenburg (free) a very nice team.

    WORLD RECORD again for Femke Bol - 49.24 
     
    Lieke Klaver (50.10) and Cathelijn Peeters (52.08) with very good times as well. We are searching a fourth athlete to complete our relayteam.

    Femke Bol just improved her indoor 400m record by another 0,02 seconds at the National Championships! 49,24
     
     
    Meanwhile Lieke Klaver improved her indoor PB to 50,10 and 16 years old Madelief van Leur ran a NR U18 with 53,96 in the heats yesterday (improving the NR of Bol herself!).

    Congrats to our Canadian friends! It's great to have a competitive team like Canada going to Paris instead of South Africa (in my opinion, it's better for the sport). Although of course now that Greece finally qualified again, South Africa decides to decline the quota. Why couldn't they do that for Tokyo when we were the first alternates?

    Or if the Dutch national team has a good coach. In the women's teamsprint competition The Netherlands' performance was really bad due to a mistake by our coach. 
     
    The Dutch men on the other hand performed well. Congrats to Canada to win the men's teamsprint as well by 0.002

    Well this is very disappointing! We wasted multiple leads and then towards the end of the game we could not take our chances with the exclusions and in the end Hungary equalised.
     
    I knew it was over at that point. You can always count on our girls to lose if it is decided by penalties. The last time we won with penalties was in 2018 against Russia at the European Championships. Outside of the European Championships, we have not won since 2015. Since then, we have lost all 5 of our penalty shootouts in World Championships, and 1 in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament as well.
     
     
    I think part of the problem is that we have two good goalkeepers (Diamantopoulou and Stamatopoulou) but neither is really the "main" player on our team, and they both kind of swap with each other. For example, Diamantopoulou played the full game today, but Stamatopoulou came in for the penalties only, after not playing a single second of the game. So of course she didn't save any as she was "cold." But in the quarterfinals, Stamatopoulou played the whole game and Diamantopoulou didn't play at all, yet she gets to play the entire semifinal. I get that we want to use both girls since we have them, and give the other one rest, but we really need one to be the priority keeper.
     
    Also it's great to see Ninou living up to her potential. She is 21 yo now, has been always with the senior national team since age 16, little by little she became more of an important player. Now she's been our top scorer for all games here except against France where she had "only" 2 goals. 2 against Spain (tied with E.Plevritou and Xenaki), 4 against China, 4 against Kazakhstan, 5 against Italy, and 4 against Hungary 
     
    I must add that it is disappointing losing when it's so close, but especially against this Hungarian team which has several naturalised players who are not Hungarian, knowing that without them we would've 99% had the win and be in the final against USA , but I'm proud that we have an authentic team!

    A horrible performance from  against  . Eventually we won with 16-14, but the Dutch played very bad. Next up:  in the quarterfinals.
     
    Hungary plays for an Olympic ticket, for The Netherlands there is nothing at stake. When the Dutch level doesn't increase, we can congratulate Hungary in advance.
