As a fan, the most surprising thing for me is that Summer’s performance was objectively exceptional but it felt expected. A lot of my non-swimmer friends who just found out about her from gold medal notifications on their phones kept texting me and i was like “yes, that swim was a great performance but it was not surprising at all”. A valuable lesson to not take her achievements for granted and enjoy what we are witnessing!
