thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted August 26, 2021 #122 Share Posted August 26, 2021 It's so nice to see one swimmer from the city I used to live in, Joinville, earning a medal in swimming! Beautiful team work! hoversaBR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, it's nice to see him still managing to get medals. Yup... Canada had two defending Champs in swimming and lost both here due to athletes I'm higher categories.

Also hurting is the fact that one of our biggest ever medalists (André Brasil) was recently considered ineligible for Paralympic swimming which has ended his career. intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted August 26, 2021 #128 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Yeah, even without knowing any specific backstories, swimming really does look like the most uneven sport of the program in terms of classification. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted August 26, 2021 #129 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Only two swimming golds for China so far? Was there some classification scandal recently uncovered or what? #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit early to make any judgements after only around 20% of the programme but you've got to factor in the return of the Russians and the significant advances of countries like Italy.
