Is Connor Jaeger becoming a sprinter? (Video Interview)

Produced by Coleman Hodges.

Reported by Karl Ortegon.

Michael Phelps was hungry for a win tonight in the 200 free, and he was right withNikita Lobintsev the entire time. While Phelps’ underwaters were looking very powerful, Lobintsev kept ahead the further they got from the wall. Connor Jaeger had other ideas, though, and found another gear to push past them both for the win (1:48.66). Lobintsev took 2nd (1:48.86) while Phelps settled for third (1:49.03). Finishing after them were Kyle Whitaker (1:49.24), Clark Smith (1:49.35), and Matias Koski (1:49.42).

Anders Nielsen looked strong the whole way through the B final of this race. He threw down an impressive 1:49.27, followed closely by Maxime Rooney in 1:49.50. Third place went to Michael McBroom, the 800 free winner, with a time of 1:50.07.
