So at the age of 16 Chinese swimmer is seemingly no longer setting PBs. What else is new. I know that, I meant "insane" for the majority of swimmers. The drugs/inhuman training regime are starting to take their toll... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So at the age of 16 Chinese swimmer is seemingly no longer setting PBs. What else is new. Because of one meet? I think she for example set a PB in the 400 free this year. The majority of swimmers miss their taper from time to time. I too expected the chinese swimmers to be faster here, but in the end they still won gold and silver comfortably. Right now my predictions would be: 200 free: Medals for Ledecky, Titmus, Ruck 400 free: Gold and silver for Ledecky and Titmus, bronze between 5 or 6 swimmers, currently i would favor Bingjie/Smith/Kesely for bronze. 800 free: Gold for Ledecky, rest of the medals between 7-8 swimmers. Ledecky is 9 seconds faster than everyone else this season, the rest of the top 9 are within 6 seconds. 1500 free: Same as in the 800 free. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
