Summer Paris 2024 - Swimming

[peternorth]

If you win the heat its great and gives confidence to the athlete and the nation.
If you dont win the heat, its because you dont want to show the world your game plan and it doesnt matter

The Jon Sieben tactic!

 

[Kram]

Fei has a nice technique.

 

[gbear]

Short did what he needed to there.

 

[catstorm]

Short did what he needed to there.

So did Winnington

 

[catstorm]

So the American champion pulled out of the 100m to focus on something else

Aussie 4x100m Relay putting down the challenge

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

McKeon is swimming the file. Fastest split.

So did Winnington

Yep. Got distracted watching the heats of the relay.

McKeon is swimming the file. Fastest split.

Entry Time	Name	ReactionTime	50m	100m	Total Time
3:27.96	WUNSCH Olivia	0.64	25.94 4	53.94 4	53.94
	CAMPBELL Bronte	0.38	25.22 4	53.46 3	1:47.40
	HARRIS Meg	0.34	24.95 2	52.23 1	2:39.63
	McKEON Emma	0.18	24.56 1	51.94 1	3:31.57

She looked good.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

McKeon is back to her best. These were the split in the WR at 2023 World Champs. She was 0.04 slower in this heat.

3:27.96
Mollie O'Callaghan (52.08)
Shayna Jack (51.69)
Meg Harris (52.29)
Emma McKeon (51.90)

 

[Rustin Cohle]

This US commentator on Stan is just about unbearable.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Pan breaks 47 on his leg


PAN Zhanle 0.34 22.64 2 46.98

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Great last 150 after being nowhere before that.

 

[gbear]

Chalmers looks good.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Kyle was great but still slower than Pan as a guide for 100m individual

Canada's Josh Liedo was a fraction faster than Kyle with a 47.25. I can see him winning 3 or 4 minor medals.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

USA will add Guiliano and Alexy. Think that was China's best 4 they were 0.63 faster than Oz. To win I think all 4 will have to swim relay PBs.

Posted this on page one but these are individual best times in 12 months qualifying period 1st July 2023 to 30 June 2024.

 

[Kram]

This US commentator on Stan is just about unbearable.

Yep.

But the scary thing is that he's still 10 times better than Basil Zempalis.

 

[AdelaideGT]

Aussie swimers were just fine in the heats i think. But we will find out in the finals from 430am

 

[GreyCrow]

Good start by the Aussies

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

I put this in the Aussie Watch thread but given this is the swimming thread it belongs here as well.

 

[GreyCrow]

I'm awake I'm awake

 

[Sippa]

Surely Emma sneaks in to the team after that swim ??

They set a precedent in Tokyo where they put the best heat times in to the final regardless of the order you came in the trials

Love to see her get in

She is bound to be in. They will replace young Wunsch and Bronte. But they will get a gold.

Wonder if Michelle Smith from Ireland gets to welcome the day
