Wait so is this only one fina tv so we can’t even watch it if we don’t pay?
Yes, unfortunately. Your payment help pay for the prize money or appearance fees 😅
Very interesting that FINA’s own page or here doesn’t make it easy to figure out when the event starts. It is 8pm local, which means middle of the day in Europe and early morning in US.
Leadoff 100 free for MA on the relay. What’s the over/under for him breaking 50?
When I talked to him in Indy during the ISL, they said they’ve been working a lot on fixing his freestyle breathing. I’ll say under, presuming that worked.
It’s his last event of the day? I’ll take the over cause he sometimes runs out of gas
