Who is that guy in the suit standing behind Meehan Regan Smith
All the way on the right? That’s Ryan Murphy.
Mallory is such a badas$
Favorite picture, i love that stare for some reason lol
That Adrian-Grevers picture is ICONIC
Murphy is HUGE
Dressel in the last picture is all muscles
From the photos it appears that AbbeyWeitzeil and Katie Ledecky are the only two athletes that are ready, loose, relaxed, and prepared. Everyone else is looks nervous.
Oh no. People are nervous before a big meet. How strange
So you just looked to see who was smiling in their picture? Not a great way to judge who is relaxed.
Find someone who looks at you the way Grevers looks at Adrian
@AnnieGrevers
Still waiting to earn that dreamy gaze
Matt Grevers to Nathan Adrian: “When did we get so Old?”
OK, now someone do the Faceapp with all these pictures!
Yeah give our info to the Rooskies! Woohoo!
