So Anna Ntountounaki was 9th, missing out on the final by 0.02. At the Tokyo Olympics she was also 9th, missing out on the final by 0.06. She was so close to making the final both times, I really hope she can make it at the next Worlds Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 1,578 Posted June 19, 2022 #82 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Apostolos Christou with a CR of 52.09 (previously 52.26) in the men's 100 backstroke semifinals Obviously broke his own NR as well (previously 52.77) Really hoping he can win a medal here, although last year at the Euros he only won bronze with 52.97 after swimming 52.77 in the semifinals (which would've been enough for gold in the final...)

And seeing as she finished 4th in the 100, looking pretty good there, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV Companies have their sports schedules set & the rights paid for years in advance, so when a major event is changed at (relativity) the last minute, it gets bumped to the bottom of the priorities list. It's not new though. Swimming championships seem to have been pushed away gradually for a few years now (before 2020). If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Mkbw50 381 Posted June 20, 2022 #86 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I agree, and also it's the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS in Swimming, how is that less relevant than the shite is on BBC Two for those two hours As now we come across the world To share these Games of old Let all the flags of every land In brotherhood unfold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge 703 Posted June 20, 2022 #87 Share Posted June 20, 2022 TV schedules aren't about relevance. They're about the cost of acquiring the rights versus the amount of viewers they'll get. And while us sports nuts mightn't like it, repeats of sitcoms or reality shows get more viewers per dollar/pound/euro than most sports Makedonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshMartini007 2,211 Posted June 20, 2022 #89 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Yeah, live TV is very expensive for TV stations. Unlike syndication shows where you can show them over and over, for sports you only get one chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
