Day two of the 2022 FINA World Championships added several more nations into the mix of medals, with the Netherlands and China among them.
Breaststroking ace Arno Kamminga wrapped up 100m breaststroke silver for the Netherlands while China’s Zhang Yufei earned bronze in the women’s 100m fly.
The United States enjoyed a fruitful set of finals, with Nic Fink collecting bronze in the men’s 100m breast, while Torri Huske nailed a new national record en route to winning the women’s 100m fly. Caeleb Dressel and Michael Andrew went 1 & 3 in the men’s 50m fly to inflict further damage on the medal table while Alex Walsh wrangled up 200m IM gold.
We’ll see how the medal table standings continue to unfold as the meet progresses, however, right now, the stars n’ stripes have three times the number of medals the next closest nation of Australia through two days of competition here in Budapest.
Me encanta natacion y sigo cada dia las competencias soy adulta mayo 66 años y voy nadar 2 veces por semana me hace muy feliz
Not even a mention for Hayes?? smh
USA ;wreak havoc’ lmao
How about ‘USA top medal tally as anybody but a fool would have predicted’…
I simply refuse to be bullied into deadening my praise for TEAM USA because swimmer X from OZ or UK or elsewhere is not here! Good Times in the pool are good times, period! And frankly, if you don’t/can’t show up, well the medals DESERVE to go to those who ARE here and paid a heavy price in training to get here! Go, TEAM USA!
Preach it, brother!
Who is telling you you’re not allowed to be happy? Who is bullying you? No one.
This is very reminiscent of those Facebook posts saying “SHARE IF YOU WANT TO STOP JOE BIDEN FROM MAKING IT ILLEGAL TO SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS”. Just fabricate an opposition that is ridiculous so you can make a big point of opposing it.
Be proud. Be happy. But don’t tell other people that you’re better than them because they have different priorities to you.
USA is absolutely killing it. That’s factual. Walsh, Hayes and Huske in particular have been phenomenal. I don’t think anyone is disputing that.
But this World Champs is missing at least one Tokyo medallist in 20/28 Olympic events and 6/7 gold medal relays are missing a key leg. That’s also factual. That doesn’t diminish the achievements of the US swimmers. But it’s just the truth.
To act like the circumstances of this meet aren’t, at the very least, unconventional, is absurd. To act like the USA isn’t one of the only countries prioritising this as their only meet of the year is absurd.
You can be happy about winning but also accept the circumstances and facts of reality. If Tokyo… Read more »
The US would’ve won the 200IM and 100 Fly anyway
With a population of 332 million USA and China 1.42 Billion should be topping the table.
You would have to combine Germany UK France Italy Spain and The Netherlands to equal that number. Lets see at the end of the competition.
USA is more than 12 times the population of Australia!
Damn there are a lot of salty people in the comments and it’s only Day 2 😂
We know which fan base is salty!
Absolutely. You should see SKHC’s salty tantrum tears whenever anyone mentions Comm Games. It’s hilarious
or when an australian has any amount of success. they put so much emphasis on winning individual olympic golds, only to say that Emma McKeon is “a fraud” post tokyo
If some eligible to compete at World Championships swimmers decided not to compete for some reason then that is their own decision that shouldn’t be discussed or judged. But if this person doesn’t win at World Championships he/she isn’t a world champion no matter how strong he/she is. And that is the end of the story. If such a person doesn’t care of having such a title it’s absolutely up to him/her. I, for example, don’t care 😀
Totally agree. But the comments are full of people saying that swimmers shouldn’t “be allowed” to skip WCs lol.
Some swimmers prefer a world record from earlier this year on top of a gold medal from last year and world championship from 2019
Should never have been scheduled so close to Comm Games. Given the strength of England, Australia and Canada at the moment, this timing was completely without thought.
What’s the Commonwealth Games?
A Mickey Mouse competition created solely for the benefit of Team GB.
There is no Team GB at the Commonwealth Games
They’re always displaying their ignorance for all to see.
It’s this little event that is watched by about 1000 times as many people as the World Champs
That is the FIFA World Cup, an event in which a commonwealth nation has not won since 1966.
If not for this website, I would have never heard of the Commonwealth Games.
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
Calendar year 2022. Time for England to choke at another FIFA World Cup. “It’s coming home”. LOL!
That doesn’t surprise me
A *very* little event given that unlike the Olympics and WC, most countries aren’t invited.
There are 54 countries competing in a multi sport event.
Only 22 countries compete at the PanPacs
That explains you not the Comm games.
a clown exhibition so the brits can feel good about themselves
The Brits never win lol
Remember this from John Oliver:
Last Week Tonight: Commonwealth Games – YouTube
Who?
FINA getting what they wanted .. make the USA feel great about being the super country in the world of swimming .. hope the USA win 40 gold medals in these world champs so we can further emphasise how great they are and all can move on with the fina circus in 6mths time
As opposed to the Commonwealth Games, better known to the rest of the world as the Mickey Mouse Games.
That’s the world champs .. Mickey Mouse is American right lol
Mickey Mouse can buy and sell you … and the Commonwealth (Games).
Don’t bother to show up at the Summer Olympics or the FINA World Aquatics Championships. It’s the Commonwealth Games or bust.
