On Day 1 and Day 5, the distance freestyle events will be swum slowest to fastest, alternating women’s and men’s heats, with the fastest heat of each race swum during the evening session. All other heats will be scheduled to begin after the preliminary session so the second fastest heat of the Men’s event finishes approximately one hour prior to the start of the evening session.
*Qualifying standards for the 50m Butterfly, Backstroke, and Breaststroke will be the corresponding 100 standards.
These youtube subtitles are ridiculous!
Closeups and zoom/switch/etc usually ruin a good race video. But really inexcusable is the King Douglas finish in the 200 Breast. At SOME point you might consider that there are people also interested in who comes in third, fourth, so on. You cut away from the finish before anyone else touched. It is not hard to stay on the field until all the swimmers finish. We can see replay later of all the water slapping and celebrations. It took five minutes before we even learned Annie Lazor came in third. And it looked like it was going to be a close finish for third. I guess. I didn’t see it.
Love the Duke Swimmers caps <3
Who in gods name decided they should leave youtube comments on this live stream lol.
Appalling, isn’t it? I can’t even get away from the awfulness of Rowdy Gaines by switching off the volume! How can I delete the subtitles?
So why does this prelims stream on YT say it’s scheduled for 3?
Finals on YouTube = no Ambrose = easy win
The streams are already showing up on the USAS YouTube channel so I wouldn’t bother paying for Peacock.
Yes…and it looks like they will show both prelims and finals. This seems to be the easiest way, by far, to watch. The page is very clear and easy to follow. I assume the NBC broadcast on both Saturday and Sunday will be highlights.
Peacock is free
Right?
There’s a 7-day free trial. I assume most people already used it.
Honestly, the only reason I would even pay for Peacock in Youtube is streaming is to hear Rowdy commentate. I know he gets a lot of crap but I really like his energy, and he’s entertaining, especially when he talks about each swimmer individually and what they’re doing. I personally really like him.
last year, the youtube stream had the nbc commentary on it
Well no reason to pay now
But………..he doesn’t. He just talks about his favourites. No one else.
Usually he’s just screeching about how he thinks they aren’t going to win or break a record. He’s an incredibly disrespectful commentator.
I don’t have subscription to Peacock and was thinking about doing the free one-week trial just to watch this.
Has anyone tried doing this before?
Yes you just have to cancel before the 7 days but it only cost me $5 for the month for Peacock. Will cancel after that.
