No, but if they were going to spend $1bil to do it up for the opening and closing ceremony, maybe half that for a roof and other upgrades, gives a better long term bang for bucks.

Looking forward to the 800 women's freestyle,
Be a huge boil over if Arnie beats the legend Ledecky.

No its winter. Im in brisbane and literally right now sitting in front of a roaring fire its so cold. Imagine all the swimmers shivering on the blocks. It would be an absolute disaster.
Short flames out in last 500 of his 1500 heat. Something not right with him this meet.
Pool is comfortably heated, wear a robe until just before stepping on the blocks, they'll be right!
Ioc have a climate mandate. The energy required to keep an olympic sized pool warm when its below 10 degrees at night would be insane. It would never happen.
Do you southerners just not realise that brisbane is really cold in winter in the mornings. We have clear skies in winter which makes it so cold in the mornings and the swimming finals will most likely be in the early morning for usa prime time.
Our changeovers are elite
The country has probably 50+ heated outdoor Olympic sized pools open right now. I swam in one 5 times last week. Does the IOC think they are saving the planet by having one more for a week lmao.
Chinese were probably playing the changeover safe.
Outdoor local 50m lap pools are not remotely deep enough to be olympic size. And after the paris debacle i think all olympic pools will need to be 3 meters deep from this point foward.
Plus the ioc has gone a bit over the top with the climate ambition. They really want a make a statement. Heating outdoor pools in winter does not fit with their ambition.
I think we can just agree that the IOC are idiots. And woke.

Just watched the McEvoy race. Fantastic win.
First time l ever heard Thorpe get above monotone levels and show excitement. He went off his chops.

The Math of the Mixed Medley: A Data Deep Dive
Will Caeleb Dressel get the nod on the U.S. mixed medley relay again? The Americans have no shortage of options.

Love the mixed medley
Options:
Backstroke - F strength (McKeown)
Breaststroke - Yong was 6th in semi, Strauch didn’t make semis
Fly - McKeon 6th in final, Temple in the final tonight
Freestyle - Kyle / Mollie / Shayna all excellent
Probably is also that McKeown has the 200 IM tonight, Temple final, Jack in the 50m free semis.
So I think if McKeown is up to it, we do
McKeown
Yong
McKeon
Chalmers
They’ve announced the new venue being built, a new indoor stadium seating about 18,000 that will have a temporary pool for the games with water polo to be played the current aquatic centre.
Both in! Sjöström lightning quick.
