such an improvement for team USA from 2015 wjc to this time. That time they took 26 medals and 6 golds. Also Canada have amazing meet although every gold came from women. Their 4×100 certainly will be USA ultimate rival in 2020 and their 4×200 also.
I think female swimmer of the meet
1. Rikako Ikee
2. Delfina Pignatiello
3. Regan Smith
for Male :
1. Michael Andrew
2. Kristof Milak
3. Andrew Abruzzo
Every gold came from the women? You mean every medal… (Except mixed relays, but those were gold as well)
Technically both statements would be correct. The mens side of swimming in Canada seems to start to be moving forward though!
You missed out Ajna Kesely and Hugo Gonzales from 2nd place and Hungary in full.
And forgot Japan. BTW Hungary won 3 medals (silvers) in Dubai, 1 silver in Singapore (and no medals at the previous 3).
I know you are American, but you cant deny Hugo González should be at least one of the 3 male swimmer of the meet contender
Ahh sorry I forget him, yeah he deserve in second place, also kesely
Andrew Abruzzo was awesome!!!
Also Hungary Men in the 100 free relay and 200 free relay could also challenge in upcoming years.
And in fly and free and IM.
I would say most of the USA improvement is because it’s a home meet but the gold count is pretty impressive considering the lack of relay golds
