Swimming Discussion Thread [World Championships: 23rd - 30th July]
 

Hosszu to be the star this time around, 4 Golds at least

So perched.

Let's hope Team GB live up to their potential this time.

Swimming :love: :love:

Is it confirmed Phelps is returning?

Yes, he's got a much shorter program though. 100 and 200 fly, the 200 medley and the 4x100 freestyle relay

Can't wait :love:

Just watching the 2012 Olympics, so weird seeing Siobhan Marie O'Connor participating as a 17 year old just there for the experience and now she is on for at least a silver

Max Litchfield 2nd in the 400m medley heat #3

come on Missy Franklin, i'll be rooting for her again :)

Peaty with the world record

The fact that they start and finish on the right instead of the left feels odd

^ I hate it

Anyway Peaty was glorious :clap1: Miley and Willmott qualified for the 400 medley final too, which is at 2:49

Hopefully by the time I wake up tomorrow we will have our first medal ^_^

Here's tonight's events GB wise:

2:03 - Men's 400m IM final (feat. Max Litchfield)
2:30 - Men's 400m freestyle final (feat. James Guy)
2:49 - Women's 400m IM final (feat. Hannah Miley & Aimee Willmott)
3:08 - Men's 100m breaststroke semi-finals (feat. Adam Peaty & Ross Murdoch)

Hopefully James was saving himself for the final and can medal :clap1:

Tough ask for anyone apart from Peaty medalling

But Peaty is nearly 100% getting gold so that will do

I have faith James Guy will someshow snatch a bronze

I'm not just having one bloody gold medal all bloody games from swimming :fist:

Don't think we got even 1 Gold at London in the swimming? I remember it took us til Day 5 to actually win a Gold so at least one tonight we will be ahead of where we were in London after Day 1

Look at all these Japanese taking over the pool

a Jap 1-2 coming up

yeah we had a nightmare in London

It's only the semis for Adam tonight you flop. He's on in the early hours of tomorrow, I'm going to miss it because I'm working early on Monday :bored:

Well at least Max has gone from 9th to 4th or 5th

That Seto could have drowned and let us have bronze, so selfish.
