slgames Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Three questions about Natalie Coughlin: 1) If she swam in the heat, why didn't she swim in the final? 2) If she didn't swim in the final, why does she get a medal? 3) If she gets a medal, why isn't she on the podium with the other 4 girls?

Olympian2004 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 I start to hate Olympic swimming now - at least when viewed from a German perspective. Something is seriously wrong with the German swimmers, they always have weak nerves when it comes to Olympic competition and thus are mainly failing miserably. It has been that way in Sydney, it has been that way in Athens, it has been that way in Beijing and I fear it could turn out that way also in London. Jenny Mensing, for example, is current European champion in the 100 metres backstroke and now ranked only 21st in that event's heats. A disaster.

Olympian2004 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 OK, maybe I should be more patient. Sarah Poewe just swam near her personal best in 100 m breaststroke and the men's 4x100 freestyle relay swam a new German record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micheal_warren Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 New Zealand has just qualified for their first final! Loren Boyle broke the NZ record by 2 seconds to qualify 4th fastest in 400m freestyle. A great performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deawebo Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 All I want is to see Germany winning a medal today in the realys... Does anyone knows what happened with the men's 100 backstroke? I can't find the results... ('cause I would have swum there) hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevzz Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 2nd world record in the pool. British female swimmers seem to have disappointed so far. Hope Becky breaks it for gold later. Bit shocked she merely scraped through the finals though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gangwon Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 The relay was the Americans' for the taking, Phelps did amazing... kudos to the French for the late push.

Fox334 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Three questions about Natalie Coughlin: 1) If she swam in the heat, why didn't she swim in the final? 2) If she didn't swim in the final, why does she get a medal? 3) If she gets a medal, why isn't she on the podium with the other 4 girls? 1. coaches like to substitute athletes from the heats to the finals so a. more athletes can win medals and b. it allows them to rest their best athletes. For example, the US men's 4x100m free team that qualified from the heats is a completely different team than the one that swam in the finals, so eight US swimmers got silver medals (v.s. 6 French swimmers that got gold and 5 Russian swimmers that got bronze). 2. Because she competed for the relay team at the Olympics. Same thing in other team sports: if you only play in the prelims but not the finals you're still eligible for a medal. 3. Because for some reason at the summer games they don't allow athletes that only took part in the heats to be at the medal ceremony. At the Winter Olympics athletes that only compete during the heats of a relay get to participate in the medal ceremony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiejie Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I'm surprised there hasn't been more interest/discussion about Ye Shiwen's gold, specifically the rather incredible times. Call me skeptical. When it comes to China, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't. Keep those samples for the full next 8 years.

deawebo Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 ^^ She's an anazing swimmer and a very young too!!

Anyways, tomorrow's 200 freestlye will be really exciting, China, France and Germany will win medals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
