China adds 100 freestyle WR holder Pan Zhanle into the relay in lace of Niu Guangsheng.
Lane 8 – Japan: Tatsuya Murasa, Katsuhiro Matsumoto, Hidenari Mano, Konosuke Yanagimoto
Japan makes no changes.
Kieran Smith isn’t the same apartment as David Johnston and Luke Whitlock. I wonder if that played a part in this decision. There’s no question that even mild illness can impact results even before respiratory symptoms or fever begin. (One of the first signs of Covid is often an increased resting heart rate.)
Texas, Texas, Texas… Florida!
COME ON HEILMAN
Although it’s the exact same order for Korea’s Asian Record swim two years ago, I think it’s a bad decision that Yang leads off.
This aged well!!
Was really looking forward to a Marchand 200 fr. I know he has 2 fly and 2 breast, but I think he could have pulled it off.
Kai Winkler was added to the German team late and is entered in the 100 Fly, I start to think that they are not going to use him on any of the relays.
No triple for Marchand 😀 would’ve been great to see as a fan but Steinway might have paid him a visit
Kieran smith is soooo damn lucky nesty is his coach. I wouldnt have put him in but he usually clutches on relays so I hope he can do it again.
I’m with you. He’s split 1:44.3 and 1:44.4 the last two actual World Champs, that would be nice
Kieren split 1.44.80 to lead the USA.
