In prelims of the men’s 500 free at the ACC Championships, Louisville’s Gustavo Saldo and Virginia’s Dillon Wright tied for 24th (4:20.80), warranting a swim-off. In the swim-off, the two swimmers swam identical times again, both touching in 4:21.63.
After the nodd was given for Saldo to swim in the C-Final, he was able to swim with no pressure at night, resulting in a lifetime best of 4:16.94, placing him 20th overall.
I was hoping they would both have a 3rd swim – either in an extra lane, if available, or in a special heat where they could have a 3rd swim for 24th.
Such a really amazing attitude to have. Love the energy.
How did they decide who got the C final swim after the swim off?
I was told UVA gave the spot to Saldo.
“Hey do you really want to swim this yet again?”
“Eh, I could take it or leave it at this point”
“All yours!”
“Second place prize: 1500y at race pace. First prize: 2000y at race pace.”
That’s definitely the vibe I got lol
