Josh 7,761 Posted Sunday at 12:43 AM #1101 Share Posted Sunday at 12:43 AM (edited) 2:06.79 for Kate Douglass, and 2:07.86 for Alex Walsh in the women’s 200m individual medley at the US Olympic Trials. McIntosh went from 1st to 3rd most favoured within a couple of weeks. Honestly, that might be good for her, there’s lots of pressure that gets put on yourself when you come into an event as the favourite.

Topicmaster1010 3,057 Posted Sunday at 05:49 AM #1103 Share Posted Sunday at 05:49 AM (edited) US Olympic Trials: Day 8 Finals: Men's 100m Butterfly (OQT: 51.67) 1. Caeleb Dressel - 50.19 Q 2. Thomas Heilman - 50.80 Q 3. Dare Rose - 50.84 4. Zach Harting - 51.37 5. Aiden Hayes - 51.43 6. Ryan Murphy - 51.46 7. Luke Miller - 51.48 8. Kaii Winkler - 51.51 Safe to say that Dressel is officially back. And Heilman shocks Dare Rose to take the 2nd spot. He'll be absolutely terrifying in a few years. With both Dressel and Heilman doubling up here, Brooks Curry and Matt King are officially on the team. Women's 200m Individual Medley (OQT: 2:11.47) 1. Kate Douglass - 2:06.79 Q 2.

Lucy Bell - 2:13.67 Douglass and Walsh a cut above the result of the field. That's Douglass's first time under 2:07 as well. Women's 800m Freestyle (OQT: 8:26.71) 1. Katie Ledecky - 8:14.12 Q 2. Paige Madden - 8:20.71 Q 3. Jillian Cox - 8:22.97 4. Aurora Roghair - 8:28.59 5. Rachel Stege - 8:28.77 6. Kate Hurst - 8:28.92 7. Claire Weinstein - 8:29.80 8. Ashley Twichell - 8:32.75 Ledecky didn't seemed pleased with the time after the race. Madden, meanwhile, dropped 7 seconds off her PB to take 2nd. She's been having a great trials. Semi-finals: Advancing to Women's 50m Freestyle Final: 1. Gretchen Walsh - 24.06 2. Torri Huske - 24.09 3. Abbey Weitzeil - 24.48 4. Simone Manuel - 24.51 5. Erika Connolly - 24.54 6.

dullard 572 Posted Sunday at 06:04 AM #1104 Share Posted Sunday at 06:04 AM Douglass' 200 IM is emoji worthy. Rylee Erisman looking like she could be a big problem by the time LA28 arrives probably even before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel pushy now. You do a great job with these updates. When I did that one the other day I had to come back three times to fix glaring errors.

As much as I hate to admit it, her times, although still ridiculously quick, have been getting slower and slower throughout the last couple of years. She’s 27, her age might be catching up to her… phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in Paris she won't be doing the 200 free so the 3x200 rounds will be replaced by just one 200 in the relay. Josh and phelps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantm 32 Posted Sunday at 12:49 PM #1110 Share Posted Sunday at 12:49 PM Wouldve loved to see Summer contest the 800m Free in Paris. Age will eventually catch up with Ledecky Based on what I saw,Summer wouldve had a huge chance of a monumental upset. Oh well…maybe Ariane could cause an upset in the 800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
