Summer Paris 2024 - Swimming

[LukeParkerno1]

Pretty short heat session for swimming today and not likely to be too exciting for AUS.

Lizzie Dekkers is my dark-horse to upset Summer McIntosh & Regan Smith in the 200fly though and she opens her Olympic campaign tonight.

Good call on Dekkers if McInyosh loses it’s to her

Dunno. McIntosh looked dominant in that 400IM swim the other day.

Heartbreaking! Brit Luke Greenbank has just gone through every stage of grief in about five seconds poolside — I'll see if I can find you a photo.
He swam the fastest time of anyone in the fourth and final 200-metre backstroke heat … but he was disqualified for spending too long underwater coming out of the last turn.

Seemed Molly actually faded at the end, when she should have been coming over the top.
