Interested to see the Womens 4x100M relay heat lineups.
Surely they learnt their lesson from Kazan.

what do you mean? they won gold in Kazan. it was the men who stuffed up and finished 13th after the heats.

Should've been clearer.
Yep,I meant the mens,but the message is still the same.
The coaches got cocky with the heats and f### it up.
Ive heard that C1,C2 and Emma McKeon may not swim the heat.
Thats a huge risk if a couple of your backup swimmers are not up to the task.

Likely to run the heat with
Elmslie
Seebohm
Coutts
Nagawati

Its a concern

Us didn't make the final in a few relays at the world champs

Yep,they made exactly the same mistake as Australia last year in Kazan.
Normally the US can get away with it with their depth,but the strength of the opposing countries were underestimated.

Chinese and Dutch are stronger

Mack Horton pipped by Connor Dwyer who beat his PB by a second in the heat.

David McKeon 5th fastest and both in the Final

They think people care about the Boomers

 

[estibador]

First new WR of the games to pommy Peaty in the 100m breast.

 

[estibador]

And a new OR for our women's 4x100 free in the heats.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

If the swimming finals are on at 11am. Then as much as i'd like to the blues/saints game today, I think i'll give it a miss.

Edit: Wait. If it starts at 11. When does it finish?

 

[GreyCrow]

Go 2 dads

 

[Warsaw]

Imagine having to support a guy named Mack.

 

[GreyCrow]

Come on AUSSIE.

Western Star to win

 

[Bradesmaen]

Did anyone know that Mack Horton was the fastest this year? Just thought I'd let you know that Mack Horton is the fastest this year in the 400m freestyle because he was faster than anyone else who participated in that event this year.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Those are some bright swim shorts on the Chinese guy.

 

[GreyCrow]

Aussie Gold

Well done Mack Horton

 

[Warsaw]

[Igloo]

Goooooooooooooooooold.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

That is what our Olympic campaign needed really. If he had finished 3rd or lower it would have been a ripple through the team.
