It is weird because for your information. At the beginning of the OG here in Paris, we had the information that swimmers from heats relays would be invited on the podium (so, for the first time). But, they changed their decision after all.

The latest on Slovakian swimmer Tamara Potocka, who collapsed on the pool deck today: The Slovakian Olympic team has confirmed to @benburrows_ that the cause of the collapse was an asthma attack. She has since been given oxygen therapy and during the procedure has communicated.

He looked smooth. I reckon it’ll be a slow final and whoever can cope with the waves the best will win. Outside lane might be best on this one.

Cannot get over how pants the schedule is at European Short Course this year. Today is the worst offender with the men’s 100 free semis and 200 free final in the same session 🙄

Is this British slang? Where all swimming is considered doggy paddling?
pullbuoy@pullbuoy4 Aug 2022
I don’t know whether to be happy swimming is getting in the paper or irritated that Duncan Scott is reduced to “top doggy paddler”
