Well, that didn’t take long.
“All 7”- We were down bad this year lol
I don’t see the asterisk superimposed on the screen during Douglass’ swim. NBC needs to fix that
Then maybe those others should have actually swam the event, or successfully completed a legal back-to-breast turn. A world title is a world title. You can only race those who actually show up to race you 🤷♀️
Even with more races available, 2023 Team USA could not beat Michael Phelps alone on medal count in a single champs.
My conclusion:
1) MP is a godlike beast
2) what’s up with Team USA?
MP is beating most countries.
