Out in a 28.01 to reach the early lead was Michael Andrew. As Andrew began to separate himself from the field, so did Nic Fink. At the wall, Fink progressively inched at Andrew towards a photo finish. At the wall, it was Andrew who held off Fink at 1:00.10. Fink settled for second at 1:00.34. Andrew remains 3rd in the nation after his morning 1:00.23 swim. At the January PSS meet here in San Antonio, Fink’s acceleration earned him the win at 1:00.84.
Taking third place was Kevin Cordes at 1:01.35, with Longhorn’s Will Licon (1:01.63) and Cal’s Josh Prenot (1:01.73) all getting under the 1:02 barrier.
Winning the B-final was Germany’s Nils Wich-Glasen, clocking in at 1:02.68, which would have placed 7th in the A-final.
Just not sold on this guy. Has showed minimal growth since 2016
Ok but you’ve been saying that in these comments for years. When you blindly criticize, you don’t really get credit for being right. If half the people say he’s going to make it and half don’t, half are going to be right and half are going to be wrong. Doesn’t mean the half that were right were any more observant or insightful.
I mean, sure. He went 59.82 at 2016 trials and has a 59.18 best from 2019. But slow progression and consistency aren’t unimportant and it’s impressive enough that he hasn’t burned out after going pro at 14. Maybe he doesn’t make the 2021 Olympics, but I wouldn’t count him out in 2024 or even 2028. I’m certainly not a super fan but I’ve always been kind of quietly impressed by him.
59.1 was march of 2020
you’re right! saw 2019 pro swim series and didn’t bother to look at the date of the swim
I’m just not sold on you. Your low-effort criticism comments have shown minimal growth since 2016.
Wasn’t aware you were keeping track of all my posts for 5 years. I am flattered.
they stand out like a sore thumb, not hard to remember them
Ready for him to drop 1:55 Im for the team this summer
I’m not sold on the contingent of USA’s breast stokers. SCY + walls have kind of killed our potential on the world stage
Lilly King seems to do alright.
Agreed that Men’s Breast, relatively speaking, is a weakness for Team USA. But blaming that on SCY is questionable.
Swimming benefits from having this kind of criticism. Like it or not, for a sport to gain popularity, some dose of drama and rubbing is essential.
