MEN’S 100 BUTTERFLY – FINALS
- World Record: Caeleb Dressel (United States), 49.50, 2019
- American Record: Caeleb Dressel, 49.50, 2019
- Championship Record: Michael Phelps (United States), 50.22, 2009
- U.S. Open Record: Michael Phelps (United States), 50.22, 2009
- Olympic Trials Cut: 54.19
TOP 3:
- GOLD: Maxime Rooney, 51.09
- SILVER: Jack Conger, 51.70
- BRONZE: Jack Saunderson, 51.76
Maxime Rooney was out in 23.58 at the 50, about a quarter-second slower than his split this morning. Rooney finished on a short stroke, touching in 51.09, .41 slower than he was in the morning but still good enough for the win tonight. Rooney, like former training partner Caeleb Dressel, put his head down for the final 20-25 meters to surge into the wall. Jack Conger touched 2nd in 51.79, and Jack Saunderson 3rd in 51.76.
Saunderson’s performance was faster than any of his 3 swims at the World University Games, where he failed to break the 52-second barrier. Though not as fast as his lifetime best from this morning, Saunderson’s swim tonight also comes as only his 3rd time under the 52-second barrier.
His story reminds me of Josh Davis talking about 7 years without a best time in the lcm2Fr and finally putting it all together. Go Maxime!
Rooney and Dressel for 100fly in 2020 olympics!
and beat the guy who tries so hard to stay relevant even without winning a single medal in an indvidual event at worlds (ehem MR USRPT). Trying to seek too much fame without proving himself yet. annoying tbh
Damn that is harsh!
Sir this is a Wendy’s
I would say MA is trying what he thinks is his best path to swim fast and reach his version of swimming success. I haven’t ever heard him whine about how fast or slow he swims.
USRPT works but gradually. Andrew will continue to get faster then be able to replicate those performances practically every week throughout the season like he is now. He is only just 20 competing in 50 and 100 sprint events where athletes peak in their mid to late twenties even early thirties and MA is getting a lot faster every season. Scary
“MR USRPT” made finals in every stroke at worlds, has that ever happened before?
nice flex. he’s also the first man to shave his body in every single competition. he should also get an award for that
“MR USRPT” made finals in every 50 stroke at worlds…..not sure that many swimmers care about the 50s that much to even try. Not much of a pay off except if you excel in the 50 free. He should be trying to improve his 100 free and focus less on the 50 strokes……
and to be honest, NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE 50s. (except freestyle)
That’s changing, and it’s way overdue. There’s no logical reason why 50s of all strokes aren’t just as valuable and relevant as freestyle. Disregarding 50s is just a completely outdated mindset that belongs in the dustbin of history like so many others that have crippled swimming’s progress.
maybe i should also call my mom to create my own ISL team so i can be relevant… #justsaying
I’m gonna be looking for you when MA nets golds in the future. If you ask me, he’s now just hitting his stride and still has room to get faster.
