Congrats Simone. Go smash the records at Budapest.
24.2 is insanely impressive, but i don’t think Simone will get pass Sjostrom in Budapest. Currently Sjostrom is about .4 of a second ahead of Simone, and to see how big that is in a 50 go watch the kazan 1015 final and see how far Manaudou is ahead of Adrian. Its a huge gap.
No one thought Simone would get past C1,C2, and Sjostrom in Rio. You get a lane you got a chance. 💪
C1 and c2 failed hard can’t see sjostrom doing the same.
Abbey didn’t qualify for the relay. No way they put a 55 on the relay in prelims or finals in any case.
Typo.
53.99 Kelsi Worrell.
under 53.5 Abbey
Katie Ledecky did not qualify for the 4 x 100 free relay at the 2016 United States Olympic Trials (swimming). Maya DiRado did not qualify for the 4 x 200 free relay at the 2016 United States Olympic Trials (swimming).
Maya was swimming great in Rio, the prelim times by all the morning swimmers but Allison were too high, so they put her. She delivered. Ledecky wasn’t fully tapered at Trials. She was in Rio, and had a bigger time drop in there, she got put in the relay, and she delivered. The only way, Weitzeil gets on the relay is if she improves. Relay spots are not charity.
Personally I think the final will be Comerford, Manuel, Ledecky, and Neal. Prelims Worrel, Smoliga, Neal and one open spot that would go to anyone performing well during training camp/Budapest. It could be Weitzeil, Gibson, Baker.
