The swimming game changed so much — it’s wild that Phelps doesn’t even hold any world records or Olympic records anymore
that Chinese dude Pan Zhanle was unreal in the 100m free @Rockets
+ the Romanian David Popovici in the 200m free @Alin
also obviously Marchand — that’s pretty much all I followed this Olympics

Knowing what impact Phelps had on the swimming competitions it is quite surprising to see all his records being beaten this soon already but truth is most swimmers seem more robotic than ever, training methods and preparations are probably as advanced as ever to get them into the best shape when the moment comes, more so than in the past.

Regarding Popovici, he is probably one of the few still training in outdated romanian facilities(because we don’t have better) but he is out there working 24\7 to overcome it, ironically everyone had him as one of the favorites in the 100m race where he only got a bronze while winning the gold at 200m race where very few gave him any chances, but i think he focused more on that one this time because of seeing what competition he has at 100m.

milák kristóf won the 100m butterfly after losing the 200m crown to marchand
that's not news in itself. dude is probably the biggest swimming talent since phelps, so he's likely to win at least one, right? well he missed training for months, it was rumored that he won't even compete, started preparation way too late, he was admittedly out of shape, so for me it's a miracle that he even made to a final, let alone won a gold and a silver

this is lovely. that's sports, not the dutch pedo being there because some administrators failed to have some common sense
