Italian sport is like basil on pizza: it's cute, it makes color, but some would like it not to be there. If only in Italy there was a minimum of sports programming and investments...

rafalgorka 1,362 Posted June 26, 2022 #229 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Maybe you're right that these worlds were not as exciting as some previous ones, and they were very badly promoted, but still now when they're finished I already miss the competition. Good thing was that you could watch them on Polish tv and internet live, very easily. Two medals for Poland, one of them in an olympic event, couldn't ask for more. Some great races, men's 4x100 medley was the most fun for me. Some controversies, as always. But some great swims as well. I regret the most that we couldn't watch Chalmers vs Popovici in 100 free final. But maybe next time. Now waiting for Eugene... But that won't be so easy to watch due to 9-hours time difference...

phelps 6,536 Posted June 26, 2022 #230 Share Posted June 26, 2022 they've been the most exciting world champs ever! jokes aside, we've seen a lot of great races in terms of finals and podium places, the real disappointment were loughable heats and sometimes "easy" semifinals... we've had a few world records and some new youngsters finally reaching the top of the game where they were predicted to be one day or another...the new stars are born... so, despite the early slot in the Summer and the very little promotion and hype prior to the event, I think that in the end it's been a really entertaining championship... my personal highlight, Paltrinieri showing all of his class and character in the 1500m after the the blowdown of the 800m... my biggest regret, the missed super-final in the men's 100m free with Popovici against the "old owners" of the distance, Dressel and Chalmers...that would have been a heck of a race... rafalgorka and Makedonas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
