    Not even the average riot in France has this many Algerian flags, so I would assume so
  2. heywoodu
    Ah, it's currently between 1 and 7 years before a planned Olympics, exactly the timeframe where people are being vocal about cancelling it. As is tradition no matter where in the world it is.
  3. heywoodu
    Whatever the case, someone was unhappy with the event, judging by Wikipedia
  4. heywoodu
    Is Su Yuksel's 4:36.54 in the 400m IM heats legit, or what happened there? That'd have easily been final worthy at the Olympics (close to the medals, even), but she ended up 4th in the final with a nearly 20 second slower time, that seems….unlikely, to say the least, to be real, no?

    Ozzie ozzie ozzie

    Holy crap, 51.64 split for Steenbergen For reference, this is the Olympic final in Paris, where nobody got anywhere near that...
  7. heywoodu
    Queen Steenbergen
  8. heywoodu
    Ah, right, NAB is Russia here, I think I have been watching something where NAB was Belarus
  9. heywoodu
    Does make one wonder, will we ever see her again by the time she is, say, 16 years old?
  10. heywoodu
    Oh this isn't even Yu's final chance by the way, in the 200m butterfly she enters the championship with the 6th fastest qualifying time
  11. heywoodu
    Well, yeah, I agree, but I wonder how it would have been if the 8th place (and now 9th) was, say, USA, Australia, Japan, something like that, instead of a 'neutral athlete'.
  12. heywoodu
    12-year old in the final
  13. heywoodu
    Yu is definitely the fastest Chinese in this semi.
  14. heywoodu
    It also helps that the swimmer who is now suddenly out again is from Belarus, not likely that they'll really be heard in case of a protest or something
  15. heywoodu
    When I was 12, I was spending my time watching sports, collecting stamps and Pokémon cards and possibly watching Dragon Ball Z. Others swim the world championship semi's (no doubt after being drilled for it since like 4 years old, it is China after all)
  16. heywoodu
    Kinda known for breaking the rules under water, but usually he gets away with it for whatever reason
  17. heywoodu
    And good luck seeing someone do a 400m in athletics, all-out, and then set a 200m PB an hour later Of course I know swimming is basically a (almost) no-impact sport, that helps a lot for sure.
  18. heywoodu
    On a serious note: it is always miraculous to see how low-impact swimming actually is. Not many sports where it's apparently totally fine to perform at your best in two different events barely half an hour apart
  19. heywoodu
    We're supposed to be positive about that, because then also the specialists in the 50m have a chance! Much to the chagrin of the ever-ignored specialists in the 426 meters breaststroke and the 165 meters butterfly.
  20. heywoodu
    Sean Niewold in the semi's, nice. He got his 'swimming diploma' (something children usually get in their early childhood) a few weeks ago Kind of like Max Verstappen, who was racing Formula 1 before he had a driving license
  21. heywoodu
    I hope so! It'd be awesome, absolutely, although with these massive PB's I always think it's more likely that the next race will be a bit slower, considering they already went entirely all-out now But I'd love to be proven wrong of course, don't see Belgian medals that often so that'd be cool
  22. heywoodu
    Ponti with the third 22.74 of today
  23. heywoodu
    With the minor sidenote that Walsh probably did so on 90% and Vanotterdijk had the race of her life But impressive, absolutely!
  24. heywoodu
    Wow, that was an awesome final to start the world championships off
  25. heywoodu
    Largest graphics overlay ever by the way, holy moly.
