Huske’s 50 fly from yesterday would have made Semis (10th place) in the 50 free today
Think of how few/many female freestylers (without the super suits) that have ever been faster than Sarah’s 50 fly world record 24.43.
==) Since 1/1/2010 it is 26 including Sarah’s own freestyle world record.
And it is only 30 in total – all time (including Sarah’s WR).
The 4×100 free relay on the same day as the 50 free isn’t the greatest move. Adding mixed relays really put all of the sprinters on their toes
Would love to see mixed relays abolished… they’re just a big energy-suck, leading to slower times for the best swimmers, less chance for great swimmers to stretch themselves in multiple events and padded medal counts for the big time swim nations.
They have 3 relay only swimmers for freestyle relays. The coaches just need to be smarter and not waste their top swimmers. On the medley I’m sure they can find a combo that works but I think I would still want to use Caeleb
But smaller countries can’t rest swimmers
You’re missing the whole point right there. If smaller countries rest swimmers they won’t make the final. I know what would level the playing field, make it required to use the same swimmers for heats and the final. Never gonna happen tho and it would negatively impact star swimmers other events. Better to just stop shoehorning in new relay events.
I liked the mixed medleys. I could take or leave the mixed frees.
Or we could see a regular 4×50 relay timed final medley and free
Mixed relays are just dumb
What will the relay lineup for finals look like? I predict some order of Walsh, Huske, Tang, and Cooper?
The women’s 100 fly final will be fast; it seems likely, based on how they’ve been swimming this week, that either Huske or Curzan will take down Huske’s recent NAG record.
400 IM doesn’t look right. Lee was 6th
I think you are correct. Lee is missing. I remember looking at the screen and all the qualifiers were below 4:21. Unless there was a late disqualification.
50m freestyle heats, not butterfly
