Greatness ?? Lol 😂 Give me a break.
She’s a bathtub merchant that spends 60% of all the races underwater.
If you want talk about greats, maybe schedule a visit to the Sarasota Sharks to see true Greatness in Summer McIntosh. That would be a fantastic Practice and Pancakes.
lies
Bathtub merchant? Gretchen Walsh has more long course world records than McIntosh. Try again.
1 each?
were a bit removed from it now but i feel like team usas poor performance in paris was a big deal! it was one of the main swimming-related takeaways for the general public — was heavily covered by the us media (buoyed by unfavorable comparisons to leon/summer and comments from lochte and phelps criticizing the team), was all over social media w ppl complaining about all the silvers and bronzes, and was the main reason why bobbys final swim was filled w so much gravitas (bobby was the only swimmer other than ledecky to land a solo today show appearance because he rescued the us men from historical ignominy!).
lol for me the biggest clue this broke into the us… Read more »
Just curious because it wasn’t really addressed in the podcast, but by what metric are you measuring “Gretchen Fatigue?” There was an article about the fly split that had 50+ comments, and an article about the meet itself has almost 100 comments.
There is definitely University of Texas fatigue.
LMAOOOOO
Just a quick shout-out to the VT men: They performed out-of-body this past weekend. In particular, Carles Coll Marti, Youssef Ramadan, Brendan Whitfield and Mario Molla Yanes were “guilty” of setting multiple pool records at UVA and showing that they will be a force during Championship Season.
I don’t have Walsh fatigue, but I am sick of hearing about Ledecky. She hasn’t had a long course PB since 2018, and I have never watched an 800 or 1500m race of hers in its entirety. I guess it’s a bit funny to watch Titmus crush her in the 400m each time.
We found Jazmin Carlin’s burner account
They keep overhyping Ledecky all the time, when everyone knows that distance events have always been weak and lack depth. Coleman forgot when Summer ate her for breakfast in the 800 free last year.
Can we pls hype up the Texas duals that are in like 10 days
The knives are out.
Especially because it will have not only fine Texas athletes but men and women from Virginia, ASU and North Carolina State in the pool at the same time.
Some world class head knocking is on tap.
Are swimmers like Mcduff and Chaney in the portal for the spring semester ?
One never knows, but it seems unlikely they’d be eligible this semester.
Am I crazy for does Coleman kinda look like Ben in this
Ben who?
