It’s not like he’s ever hid his motivations. He’s been LC focused since he was 14.
I’m OK with GA fans being bummed out. Team USA fans should be pleased.
You guys are so quick to bash on the kid. You sit behind computers and live on the comment feed of the site. If there was a problem with his plan they would he have gone to UGA and still committed time to winning two NCAA titles. Yall need to sit down and do something with yourself.
He is one of those kids where his whole life is swimming and it will always be swimming. Can’t see him ever moving on to something different.
BS! all of it, BS
It is weird to hear him talk about “going back to Baltimore” when I think he means Arizona State.
floppy – he’ll be in Baltimore through the end of the long course season, then to Arizona State with the rest of the group after Worlds. I believe that’s Bowman’s plan too.
At least pol’s true identity is no longer a mystery…
Hmmm. Maybe not an attitude that would make him beloved of his college teammates. I am sure it is punishing to underrform when he is used to doing well, but I am sad to see him frame this with a smirk about an arena that is important to many of his peers.
