Watch Katie Ledecky, Michael Andrew, And Torri Huske Qualify For Tokyo 2020

2021 U.S. OLYMPIC SWIMMING TRIALS

On the second night of racing at the 2021 US Olympic Trials, 3 swimmers officially added their name to the country’s Olympic roster. In the women’s 400 freestyle Katie Ledecky delivered a commanding victory of 4:01.27 while Michael Andrew took the men’s 100 breast in a 58.73 and Torri Huske clinched women’s 100 butterfly gold with a 55.66 American record.

Those 3 swims were all under the required FINA A and mean that we will be seeing those 3 swimmers in Tokyo this summer. Check out their Olympic-qualifying race videos below, courtesy of NBC Sports:

Man, Georgia has had a couple of heartbreakers. Margalis unexpectedly going Alain Bernard in the last 15 meters of the 400 IM, and Nic Fink semi-finaling a time that would’ve made the team if he duplicated it.

Good thing MA is 6’6″. He needed it at the finish.
