    It's still definitely not impossible

    Because they haven't played well at all for the past few years (sure, they got a Euro gold), and got below even that level in Tokyo. World rankings don't mean much and the World Cup was already three years ago and was more of a unexpectedly good result than anything else.

    First time since 1984 the Dutch men don't make the semis in the Olympics. And it was not at all undeserved, they were by far not good enough.

    I believe the team had said she wanted to look at it on a day-by-day basis.
  6. heywoodu
    I agree now
  7. heywoodu
    Almost...

    Shootouts for a spot in the semi's, not feeling confident about that at all, but it's already quite the performance they got this far after the very bad group phase..

    And last but not least, after months/years of speculation about which two distances she'll run at the Olympics and which one of the three she's registered for she will drop, she has made her decision and will run the 5000m and 1500m.

    What was with Zalewski btw? Legs just too full after yesterday or something else?
  11. heywoodu
    After 106 attempts there's finally a scored PC for the Dutch men
  12. heywoodu
    Wow, rarely have I seen anyone throw away a chance in such an idiotic way as Ross did
  13. heywoodu
    Ah yeah, forgot about that. Now I agree with you
  14. heywoodu
    What did he do, other than not wanting the vaccine but at least for a somewhat understandable reason for an athlete?
  15. heywoodu
    Every event has a few specialists at least, but that doesn't mean it's really different enough to warrant such a huge number of realistically available medals per swimmer.
  16. heywoodu
    Even more controversial: instead of leaving 100 and 800, I'd go for leaving 50 but throwing out 100 in favor of 200. And keep 1500 instead of 800. That way you have a true sprint, a true middle event and a true distance event.

    New gold for these guys we've been watching all week, alright. WR and all. On to the next sport please
  18. heywoodu
    Theoretically? We could do with one breaststroke, one backstroke and one butterfly event, for starters.
  19. heywoodu
    Anyone else feel like so many of these medals are sort of forgettable, since mostly we're watching the same names fight for them the whole week (unlike in athletes, where you see totally different names in most events)? I mean, I've watched basically every final live and with focus but I had already forgotten McKeon actually took the 50 + 100 freestyle double
  20. heywoodu
    Hurray for swimming's opportunities
  21. heywoodu
    Campbell with some major risk there to throw it all away
  22. heywoodu
    Sure, but it's still not as lobsided as it was in Rio (with the Netherlands only being there because of the two open water golds, which one really shouldn't count too much - if at all - in this context)
  23. heywoodu
    Non-gold medals like this are so much better than gold medals like Dressel's.
  24. heywoodu
    The 'bright' side though is that USA is much less dominant than four years ago.
  25. heywoodu
    He has been sick though, to be fair (mono, if I'm not mistaken).
