Well none of them match Cuban heavy weight Greco Roman wrestler of 130kg who last night won his 5th individual event in a row. Saw a small report on his win on Chanel 9 late this arvo.
Some people are only allowed to enter in 1 event.
I knew of the feats of Paul Elvstrom and Al Oerter from when I was a kid, saw Carl win 4 in a row at the Long Jump as I became an adult and beyond, and have seen Phelps and Ledecky's 4 in a row.
Haven't heard any reports of the US Shooter winning 4 in a row here in Paris. but I guess NBC would have done a big story on him..
Ledecky says she will swim in LA. Wonder if she concentrates on the 800m, where the field is getting closer, Summer McIntosh did beat her in February but dropped it from her heavy schedule, and have a crack at 5 in a row, or just concentrate on the 1500 where she is even more dominate.
Summer McIntosh is the interesting one. She turns 18 in a week or twos time, will only get stronger and depending on the schedule, will probably have a crack at 5 or 6 individual events. Barring injury over the next 4 years she could well repeat Phelps efforts in Beijing.

Lars Frolander swimming in 6 Olympic Games has got to be some sort of record?

Larissa Latiyma has 6-5-3 in the individual events.
Czech gymnast Vera Caslavska has and individual record of 7-1-0, and because she was part of a weaker than Soviet gymnastic nation she won 3 silver team medals.

Open water swimming and Aussie Moesha Johnson who finished 6th in 1500m in the pool, lead for most of the way and finished second.
Her Euro training partner and 2016 gold medalist Sharon van Roudwendaal attack Johnson with 600m to go after letting her lead for about 6km. Defending Olympic Champion Anna Marcela Cunha finished 4th.
swimswam.com
As swimmers came in for fueling at the feed station on the top end of the course, the pack divided into smaller groups. 2016 gold medalist Van Rouwendaal took over the lead in the front pack, headed downstream on lap 2 followed by Cunha and Johnson.
The second group rejoined the lead group on the upstream half of lap 2 but van Rouwendaal maintained her position in front. Johnson passed the Italian duo and held on at second place, about a body length behind van Rouwendaal. Australia’s Chelsea Gubecka of Australia was in 5th place.
As they finished lap 2 and made it through the chute, they stopped to fuel at the feeding station and then took off to attack the 3rd downstream leg. Van Rouwendaal, Johnson, Taddeucci, and Gabbrielleschi held their formation at the lead of the lead pack. Japan’s Airi Ebina and Australia’s Gubecka moved up to 3rd and 4th behind van Rouwendaal and Johnson on the upstream leg of lap 3. Again, the chase group closed the gap with the lead group on the upstream leg, but van Rouwendaal and Johnson allowed no one into their space. Cunha worked her way back to 4th place as they swam past the grandstands full of cheering flag-wavers.
Johnson maneuvered past van Rouwendaal in the chute leading to the feed station and held the #1 position going downstream on lap 4. The field separated again going with the current, as Johnson, van Rouwendaal, Taddeucci, Gubecka, and Cunha comprised the lead pack, followed by Gabbrielleschi, Fabian, Brazil’s Viviane Jungblut, and Ebina.
Johnson came out of the feed station in the lead on the downstream leg of lap 5, with only van Rouwendaal and Taddeucci behind her in the lead group. The chase group was about 18 seconds behind, led by Cunha, Gabrielleschi, Fabian and Gubecka. As they made their way back upstream, there were three distinct groups – for the first time, the chase pack did not catch the leaders, which made it seem like a daunting task to vie for a medal with one lap to go.
At the last feeding station, van Rouwendaal fueled up and headed downstream, right on Johnson’s toes, with Taddeucci still in 3rd place just behind. As they made the final turn at the Pont d’Alma, it felt like the calm before the storm. Johnson, with 1:50.11.7, led by only 0.6, and the sprint was about to begin. Swimming into the current, van Rouwendaal tried to move to Johnson’s inside. Taddeucci was still only a body back.
Van Rouwendaal made her move on the last buoy, going wide to get out in front on the turn. She surged to the lead and pulled ahead by a body. At the opening to the chute, Johnson tried to pull the same move, but Rowendaal cut off the lane and sprinted to the finish. The Dutchwoman won with 2:03.34.2, 5.5 seconds ahead of Johnson and 8.6 ahead of Taddeucci. Cunha was 4th, leading the next group of finishers.

Men’s Open Water 10k Top 8:
- Kristof Rasovszky (HUN) – 1:50:52.7
- Oliver Klemet (GER) – 1:50:54.8
- David Betlehem (HUN) – 1:51:09.0
- Domenico Acerenza (ITA) – 1:51:09.6
- Logan Fontaine (FRA) – 1:51:47.9
- Hector Pardoe (GBR) – 1:51:50.8
- Marc-Antoine Olivier (FRA) – 1:51:50.9
- Florian Wellbrock (GER) – 1:51:54.4
Rasovszky started out in the lead on the downstream leg of lap 5. While Wellbrock was still in 2nd place, there was some movement behind the leaders as they rounded the buoys downstream. Klement and Acerenza moved past Paltrinieri, Betlehem and Great Britain’s Hector Pardoe ran 6th and 7th, and Kynigakis went ahead of Olivier and his teammate, Fontaine.
Wellbrock made a move to go wide heading into the last feeding station and it put him back 5 spots to #7. Klement moved into the #2 spot behind Rasovszky, with Paltrinieri and Betlehem not far behind. They shot past the feeding station and headed back downstream with Rasovszky and Klement well out front. Klement moved inside Rasovszky on the first buoy down but the Hungarian came off the second buoy in the lead.
Rasovszky led the last upstream leg, followed by Klement. The chase group caught up to the two leaders, with Betlehem and Acerenza moving up to challenge Rasovszky and Klement. The four of them pulled away from the rest of the 11 and sprinted for position. Rasovszky and Klement put some distance behind them, and the pair sprinted for home over the last 300 meters. Rasovszky got the touch by 2.1 seconds, earning a gold medal for Hungary. Klement scored the silver medal. Betlehem and Acerenza battled for the bronze medal, with the Hungarian getting the edge over the Italian by .6.
In addition to Albayrak and Garach, Brazil’s Guilherme Costa and Namibia’s Phillip Seidler did not finish the race.

WADA Study Finds Low Prevalence Of TUEs Among Olympic And Paralympic Athletes
Results found that across 4 Olympic Games, TUEs were present in 0.90% of athletes while the 4 Paralympic Games had a total TUE prevalence of 2.76%.
swimswam.com
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has announced its findings in a study on Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs) in Olympic and Paralympic Athletes. Results found that across four Olympic Games, TUEs were present in 0.90% of athletes while the four Paralympic Games had a total TUE prevalence of 2.76%.
TUEs allow for athletes with “legitimate medical conditions” to receive treatment while training and competing in their respective sports. This means that athletes can take medications that are listed under the WADA prohibited list if they have a legitimate medical condition.
There have been concerns of potential abuse of TUEs and athletes who received TUEs when they did not have “legitimate medical conditions.” The claims have been a frequent retort to critics of doping violations in China and Russia, with individuals from those countries pointing to the Fancy Bear leaks by Russian hackers that alleged to show TUEs of top American Olympians like Caeleb Dressel. The veracity of those leaks was never confirmed.
WADA Medical Director, Dr. Alan Vernec spoke on the study, “The results of this study provide objective data to dispel some of the concerns and misconceptions surrounding TUEs that they are prone to misuse or serve as a means for ‘legitimized’ doping.”
WADAs study included four Olympic Games and four Paralympic Games. Across the four Olympics, 2016 Rio Summer Olympics, 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, and 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, a total of 328 TUEs were found. These 328 TUEs came from 258 athletes. This means that the prevalence was a total of 0.90%.
Glucocorticoids at the 2016 Rio Olympics and stimulants at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics were the most frequently observed TUEs. These results are similar to a study published in 2020 by The British Journal of Sports Medicine. That study found a TUEs had a prevalence of 0.9% from the 2010-2018 Olympic Games.
The four Paralympic Games also took place in 2016 Rio, 2018 Pyeongchang, 2020 Tokyo, and 2022 Beijing. 364 substances from 272 athletes were approved in total at the four Paralympics. This resulted in a prevalence of 2.76%. Diuretics in Rio and stimulants in Tokyo were the most common TUEs.

Paris 50 Freestyle Champion Cameron McEvoy Looking To 2028 & Beyond
Olympic champion in the men's 50m free, Cameron McEvoy of Australia is already looking ahead of the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.
swimswam.com
The 2024 Olympic Games saw a historic men’s 50m freestyle final where the podium medalists’ average age was 30.
Winner Cameron McEvoy of Australia is 30, earning the nation’s first-ever gold medal in the event, while runner-up Ben Proud of Great Britain is 29 and bronze medalist Florent Manaudou of France is 33. And age is far from putting the breaks on McEvoy’s career as the Somerville House Aquatics star is eyeing not only 2028 in Los Angeles but also 2032 in Brisbane.
“I am definitely looking toward ’28. There is a lot I want to do in between, as well,” McEvoy told The Sydney Morning Herald upon returning home from Paris. “We have racing next year for worlds, and then [I will plan] how to get to LA in one piece and better than how I was in Paris. And do that while keeping Brisbane in mind, and hopefully get to Brisbane [in 2032] too.”
We’ve documented how McEvoy’s training regimen has been changed up from his early days, with the speedster taking up rock climbing, focusing on gaining strength in the gym and following a specific taper program. “An American [Anthony Ervin] won the 50m free in Rio at 35 in 2016, so it is very doable,” McEvoy said. “There is a 42-year-old who won a butterfly world championship [Nicolas Santos in 2022]. So age is on my side … and it’d hard to pass that up.”
