Vicaut with an happy face in a post race ITW. Seems like the last time was ten years ago

A 'swimming detractor' not convinced here. Swimming olympic program almost double up from 1964 to 1968. Coincidentally, it's also at that time that television (mainly american) gained importance and coincidentally again it also allowed the US to secure their top position at the medals table with more than 50 medals at the pool that year (lol, we can all imagine how people wearing red stuff thought about that at the time). It's also interesting how the first olympic program was draw. Swimming was merely one section of the so called nautic sports (Part E) alongside rowing and yachting (sailing). Doesn't seem that core to me. IMO, swimming as this second major olympic sport alongside athletics is a very artificial thing and only feels ok if you come from one these very few countries that can rack up medals at this sport every 4 years. Athletics is the only king.

lol, non, beaucoup plus simple.

Première une de l'Equipe sur ces championnats européens (et pour une médaille d'argent !). Cela dit, il y a 4 ans, ils les avaient enquillé avec entre autre de l'aviron. Mais pas cette année.

Bon, bon. Ce stade a récemment changé de club et de sport

Damien Joly finally winning a medal aged 30 years

As much as crual his DSQ was, this is ridiculous.

Italy already with as many medals (60) that 4 years ago

Apparently, Abele had announced prior to thechampionship, that this will be its last decathlon. Awful

Est-ce qu'il y a une réaction de Mathilde Gros quelque part Je serais vraiment curieux de savoir ce qu'elle à dire après son tournoi de vitesse.

Au moins Nicolas Geay a compris ce qui était en jeu sur le dernier sprint de l'Omnium. Ca aussi c'est une performance à saluer.

Non Aller dernier indice : Il s'agit du premier grand stade municipal construit en France.

Il ne doit rien rester du stade orginal à Reims

Ah ah, oui, c'est une liste que j'ai dû commencé en 2020 C'est difficile de rayer des noms :o

Non. Il y a un élément architectural assez notable (et toujours présent aujourd'hui)

So, pretty much the same number of Italians watching in the stands than Italians winning medals.

C'est quand même un peu con d'avoir foutu autant de finales sur le même créneau (18-20h), le ping pong entre plusieurs sports comme ça c'est assez épuisant.

C'est en France, vous le connaissez tous.

On pourrait essayer de citer tous les noms qualifiables d'ici Paris. Personnellement, j'en suis à 130 (ce qui ne veut évidemment pas dire que l'on aura 130 athlètes qualifiés ) Y'en a ptet 2 ou 3 qui ont déjà arrété dans le lot

I was checking, we went from 55 medals events 10 years ago to 77 this year (all disciplines), artistic swimming has tripled from 4 to 12. Is there a point when organizers will reckon that too much is too much, and that each new event become more and more meaningless ?

Thanks, maybe it would be more interesting to count only the olympic events. I mean we had a podium today with 3 medals being awarded to the 3 only guys who made the trip to Rome...

Google Lens est devenu beaucoup trop fort, Il reconnait tout !

Stade Kim Il-sung, Pyongyang

Yeah, I forgot about the Six Days. But that just a few events here and there, and very fragile. Keirin in Japan would also survive.
