What did I say??? Yall downvoted me for speaking the truth 🗣️
He could break the WR in the 800 free. I don’t think he will be #1 in the 400 or 1500 but 800 will be the sweet spot
tbh hes probably gonna be better at the 200 than the 800, also the 400 is 100% his best event (hes kinda got an ian thorpe lineup)
I think his sweet spot is the 400
Sims is mega cooked
beyond cooked
I know his PB was already better than the 17-18 NAG record, but it’s still funny that the first time he’s eligible, he breaks it during the season
A real travesty that Luka isn’t on the pan pacs team. I hate selecting the team a year in advance.
Great way to end of the night! Luka is having an awesome meet. I do think he could get the AR this summer as well
mijatovic really normalizing a 3:45 400 free in-season at 17 atp
3:45.20!!!!! Mijatovic is definitely breaking the American record this summer. You can book it.
