It is awesome to see all three fastest 100 free relay splits holders in American history are on the relay..though Manuel and Douglass are not that form, still their relay could be a AR. Assuming going to last leg, their would be a tight race, torri huske should anchor the relay..Manuel, Douglass, Gretchen and Torri should be the line up.
52.70, 52.3, 52.2, 51.9 AR
Re: Antoine Sauvé
Last name is pronounced SO-vay. A little hint about French – whenever you see that accent mark at the end of a name, it will have the AY (rhymes with DAY) sound at the end.
And Antoine was already on the team by way of finishing in the top 4 in the 4×100 Free, and Swimming Canada doesn’t include events on their roster announcements so it’s not entirely clear yet if he’ll be able to swim the 200 Free individually, but hopefully so.
Coleman claiming the American women could conceivably win every event? Apparently MOC, McIntosh and Chikunova aren’t swimming in Singapore then.
Oh no, didn’t we learn our lesson from Lilly King pre-Tokyo? 🤦🏼♀️
I can see what he’s getting at but saying someone who is 10 seconds behind McIntosh is a “conceivable winner” basically means everyone is a conceivable winner.
Pallister is significantly more likely to win the 1500 than Weyant is to win the 4IM.
Uhhh I said every event that’s NOT Summer McIntosh. I’m toxically optimistic, not delusional.
I will admit MOC in 200 free was an oversight, but currently, 3 Americans are ranked ahead of her in the 100 free.
Chikunova vs KD head-to-head in either breaststroke, I don’t think it’s that hard to conceive KD coming out on top.
I would have stuck with medal in every event and that may be a stretch with the W 50 BR and W 100 BR. However, Tatjana Schoenmaker’s retirement leaves the field wide open in the W 100 BR.
if Ruta is on form then she should have the 50br. otherwise, those two events are a bit weaker and more wide open currently with her retirement.
Kaylee not winning a single race would be truly shocking especially given Regan’s 200 form rn. Kaylee about 2 seconds faster than her at trials
Canadian Trials
400 free 3:54:18 (WORLD RECORD)
200 IM – 2:05.70 (WORLD RECORD)
400 IM – 4:23.65 (WORLD RECORD)
800 FREE – 8:05.07 (#2 ALL-TIME)
200 FLY – 2:02.26 (#2 ALL-Tme)
The last person to have results like at Summer McIntosh was Michael Phelps 2008- perhaps we should be talking about that
We spend over 10 min talking about that😂
Did he say win or medal in every event?
did you like pause the podcast mid-sentence and comment this? he literally added the Summer caveat right after. the other two are just soft favorites in their events, where if the American is on form they can beat MOC/Chik. Summer is also a co-favorite in one of her events.
Looking at right now Huske is literally on form in freestyle which we could see a battle in 100 free and the question mark probably gonna be for Douglass cause her 200 breast looks off at trials.
Douglass winning would be a shock- the WR is 2 seconds faster than her PB and 4 seconds faster than what she swam at trials. Even if she goes around her PB Chikunova would have to be off form to even make it a competitive race.

The male contingent of the USA Swimming needs to live up to the hype this summer.
