16-year-old Luka Mijatovic qualified for his first senior world championships this week, finishing 2nd in the 400 free. Mijatovic had a sensational week overall, competing in the A-finals of the 200, 400, and 800 freestyle and the 400 IM.
I was under the impression that there had been some discussion that he might change his swimmer nationality identification for the olympics in LA 2028 because of the citizenship that his parents once held.
Or was this simply some ill timed speculation on the part of others?
I have not heard any such discussions besides just pure speculation. This is the same speculation that comes up basically anytime someone’s name isn’t classically “American,” whatever that means. I wouldn’t read too much into it.
Come on man, he loves USA.
Re/Competition Criteria: section 1.3.1 -“TRANSGENDER athletes SHALL COMPETE at the Championships consistent with USA Swimming, the International Olympic Committee, AQUA, USOPC, and Championships’ Organizing Committee policies and criteria.” ‘Lucy, you got some es-plainning to do’
Huh?
HUGE congrats Luka . .why did you scratch the 1500?
bro scratched his mile to go 145 hop off
Huge congrats Luka! Well deserved. . . but please tell us. . WHY did you scratch the 1500?
He’s clearly starting to focus on the 200-400 distance and branching out to other strokes if you kept up with his scy season. Still going up to 800 but the 1500 is probably off the docket. He’s put a lot of focus on IM and butterfly. If he was going to juniors he’d probably break Fosters 4IM nag.
I suspect Luka will go down in distance as he matures over the next 1-2 years, emerging as the USA’s top 200m-400m threat. Perhaps even swimming down to the 100m like Pan Zhanle did.
I just can’t believe this guy made me take him to chilis
What happened to Aaron Shakell?
The Shackells have sorta had a weird year or two, right? Feel like they’ve been all over the place, I was not super optimistic here.
didn’t have a good meet ….
He and Erisman will be ones to watch over the next three years
also audrey derivaux
Both Erismans for sure. They could very well be the next world-class sibling duo like Alex and Gretchen.
