why doesn’t zhang zhanshuo get more hype, he has been and is the real deal. also equivalent talent to Luca, especially with his 4 IM in 2023, AND luca has yet to realize the LC potential and match the 3:42 (albeit he’s a year or too behind and almost definitely will).
no one is stopping you from writing an article about him!
I love you Sam ❤️
Great
nice work sam
Hopefully he’ll be healthy during the meet of the year for the next few years.
His swims are always exciting to see.
Always a pleasure to see a Sun Yang record erased
Cause he’s not white?
No.
because he would love distance free to be added to the enhanced games.
Because of the multiple doping bans.
Palpatine is a troll. And not like a relay names troll who provides legitimate opinions but they’re just awful, just an actual troll who has never written a genuine comment ever and tries to rage bait.
