Penny scratching again.

Looking more forward towards the Australian Olympic Trials in June than the “ World Championships”

Most likely,it will be the worst World Champs in history

That's a lot faster than Alexy was at this meet last year.

[dantm 32]

A little early to read to much into those results

Nothing fast but its January within an Olympic year,so that’s expected.

 

Alexy looks good but with Pan,Chalmers and Popovici,he is up against it.

Douglass is easy the best 100m Free swimmer in the US and a low 53 is a good swim

Will need to be high 51s to challenge for a medal in Paris

As i said earlier,bring on the trials!
