Aren’t her toes above the water on the start? Shouldn’t that be a DQ?
USAS rule is that toes can’t be over the gutter, not water – but the video makes it look like she’s over. She probably got used to international meets where there’s often no gutter, just touchpad all the way up. Just a time trial though.
I thought the 100 back was an “on” event for Regan Smith.
If only to be a world record hold in an “off” event.
Me too. I was expecting to hear she’d swum breaststroke or something!
thought regan couldve been faster
According to swimcloud that is a best time by 1.5 seconds for Simone Manuel
pb for simone! (albeit in a race she last swam in 2016)
The year she was Olympic champion.
