Even though Bobby Finke swam his usual distance-oriented lineup, his weekend was tougher than normal. Having prelims and finals of the 1500 meant he swam the final of the 1500 in the same session as the final of the 400 IM. He would end up swimming a 15:08 in the 1500 (2nd) and 4:26 in the 400 IM (8th). However, Finke did bounce back on the last night, swimming a gutsy race in the 800 free final and using his patented closing speed to touch 1st in 7:56.
After the meet, Finke vowed (hoped) that this would be the last 1500/400 IM double in his career.
Swimming anything else on mile day is brutal.
This double has to be the silliest thing I can imagine doing in swimming. It comforts me to know even Finke thinks it was a bad idea.
But what about Nesty?
A nasty idea.
Add a 200 fly and join the Brute Squad
He IS the Brute Squad.
I just came back to say that.
Top 10 movie
There was one kid who did 1650 free, 200 back, and 200 fly at finals in one meet session at my local championship meet a while ago. That would prob top the combo lol
2bk is absolutely the most brutal event
Many of have a similar reaction to swimming either of those events alone
Coleman you been drankin or something
Ummmm Coleman, it was a 1500 not a 1650….
End of a long week😅 I just had”mile” in my head when writing this up. Thank you for the correction!
But you may have just patented The Coleman Double!
Not without reason. Finke used the term mile multiple times during the video
But neither the 1650yds or the 1500m is a Mile.
I came from 45 years running before swimming.
Swimming is funny.
They’re about as close as it gets
Many years ago, at the AAU championships, held at Yale, a swimmer not only famous for his swimming ability but also a water polo player named Roy Saari (sp) swam the 1650 and 400 IM on the first evening.
