2017 Swimming World Championships

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Katie Ledecky really is a fucking monster.

Slow time for her but she still pissed it.

Peaty is going in a semi final later which should be good.

I'm also surprised that the BBC decided to stick with Adlington and Foster after the Olympics.

Has Phelps raced the Great White Shark yet 'How?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yeah.

The CGI is proper shit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Adam Peaty is making a case for being the best ever British athlete tbh.

1 Olympic Gold, 1 Silver
4 World Championship Golds
Loads of other golds and silvers too.

But there are two things that make him even greater. He has the top 10 fastest 100m breaststroke times ever and he's still the only person to ever do 100m breaststroke (in a 50m pool) in sub 58 seconds. His world record is 1.33 seconds faster than anyone not named him and he's closer to going sub 57 than anyone is at joining him at sub 58.

He's a freak of nature really.

[Jimmy Floyd]

He's not an athlete, he's a swimmer.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fine, sportsperson.

Happier?

[Giggles]

Exerciser.

[Spoonsky]

This will just make me feel worse about the triathlon.

The girl I'm dating swam against Missy Franklin when she was younger.

[Lewis]

It sounds as though he is up there with the cyclists (get lost Chris Froome you whinger) and Geoff Capes for athlete, but nobody cares about athletes.

[Disco]

Pity he's done it all in a shit sport no-one cares about.

[Pepe]

Lol swimming.

[Waffdon]

Jesus fucking Christ, Mahow, you faggot.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jesus fucking Christ, Mahow, you faggot.

[Pleb]

Someone should caption that.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Peaty has accomplished Project 56 managing to go 56.88.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/swimming/49063457

No one else has managed to dip under 58 seconds. The man is a machine.

[Pleb]

2017?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I wasn't going to make a new thread.

[Pepe]

Jesus fucking Christ, Mahow, you faggot.

[Baz]

Now what?
Do it better.

:cool:

[Pleb]

:D

[mugbull]

Shame he does the breaststroke :(

[niko_cee]

Everyone mugging off this Chinese chap seems to be more interesting than most of the swimming.

[ItalAussie]

He's as guilty as sin, but you'd want to be very confident about coming up clean before having a go at him.
