She lost in the 800m free for the first time in 14 years last week.

Idaho Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 All bias of wrestlers set aside.... Ledecky is a legend and should win this award. From the pool of wrestlers, it's hard to argue against any of the three. Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, Caitlan Clark is winning this year's award by in a walk. 1 Dan McDonald, Penn '93 danmc167@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Olympics didn't add the 1500 for her, they had previously kept it out because they are a bunch of neandrathals who viewed women as the weaker sex, incapable of such extremes. Meanwhile, Janet Evans was rocking the 1500 for years. As a 1500 swimmer in the 70s and 80s who trained with a lot of great women swimmers, I never understood the logic of having the event in age group level meets but not the Olympics. And, yes, I am spitting into the wind. Caitlan Clark is going to run away with it. Edited February 14 by Wrestleknownothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing by FINA/World Aquatics to include a 1500 for women when Ledecky was the biggest US swimming star, as the US generates half of the TV rights revenue for the IOC, was not coincidental. https://www.statista.com/statistics/199938/broadcast-rights-fees-of-the-olympic-games-since-1998/ 1 Dan McDonald, Penn '93 danmc167@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker, Nadal, etc. and their 5 and 6 hour matches have made the game unwatchable except for purists.

I'm not quite setting my schedule to it, but I noticed they were on...what, yesterday(two days ago now) and tuned in. Ledecky is the most deserving, but...I'm still voting for Taylor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgaveMaria Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Won't vote for womens basketball. Not until they play with the same ball as the men. This reeks of "Separate but equal" and just as with civil rights... it is not. ” Never attribute to inspiration that which can be adequately explained by delusion”.
