Josh 5,715 Posted June 28, 2023 #152 Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) Lowered my PB in LCM 100FR to 54.80 yesterday 1.74s drop on my previous best of 56.54, really happy with that race. Next up, sub 54! For my 50FR, didn't go so well, was leading then ran out of gas, and ended up finishing in 4th, although I did achieve another new PB (25.49) Edited, meant to put 54 instead of 55.

NMQ 222 Posted June 28, 2023 #155 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Otoh, the expected comeback of Dressel was not good with a 29th place in the 100 FR. I guess the goal is Paris if he is on for it, but not so sure why is he racing here if he is not in good form. Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destin Lasco 48.00 compared to Australia, top 4 swimming 3.11.90 vs top 4 swimming 3.12.31 (simple addition of the individual times, no "fly start compensation") Did you only look at the times in the final (for both Australia and the US)? I think there were some faster times in prelims. Also: a) O’Callaghan might not compete at worlds. b) I think the US relays might look „a bit“ different at worlds. I expect at least Ryan Held and Torri Huske to swim in the final. c) Too bad that we didn’t get to see Heilman at 100 % in the 100 free (he swam the 200 fly earlier in the same session). d) Too bad that teen phenom Kaii Winkler (who sadly decided against representing Germany internationally) got injured shortly before trials. He might have had a shot at making the team. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

On both sides they have multiple „freak talents“. Men: Heilman, Winkler, Casas, Foster, Williamson, Diehl … Women: Douglass, Walsh, Sims, Grimes, Weinstein, Hayes, Curzan, Huske, Jacoby, Smith … Also interesting to „finally“ see an American teen phenom in the longer freestyle events on the men’s side. Recently the track record of teen phenoms in those events hasn’t been great (Grgic, Galossi). I guess as a Canadian you are probably hoping for a Mijatovic vs. Kim rivalry?
