I misread the 25 free as a 50 free and has to do a double take on the time. Speedy nonetheless!

Guessing the 300 free was won in “2:37”.

I wonder how the 25 free would do on the ‘hardest event’. I’m sure someone would argue for it being the most difficult event given how short it is and how little experience people have racing it.

It would place even greater emphasis on start and underwaters even more so than the 50. Over-water speed would be less of a factor.
