Below, watch seven of Taylor Ruck‘s eight medal swims at the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast (video of the 400 free relay hasn’t been posted). Videos are courtesy of DAZN on Twitter, and full race videos (and session replays) can be found on their website here: DAZN. The content is only available to Canadians.
Ruck’s eight medals tied the all-time record at the Commonwealth Games, joining fellow Canadian Ralph Hutton (1966), and Australians Susie O’Neill (1998) and Emily Seebohm (2010). She won gold in the 200 free, silver in the 50 free, 200 back, and all three relays, and bronze in the 100 free and 100 back. Her swims in the 50 and 200 free were also Canadian Records.

Both Titmus and Ruck have amazing solid long strokes from watching that 200 free final for the first time – what a Race that Was !!!!
These are the full swimming sessions videos:

You need to change your vpn to Singapore though.
It would be nice if they’d show the full races for anything longer than 100m, but what do you expect from DAZN?
Boo! Can’t see this from the U.S.
…meaning I can’t see the videos 🙁
Except 200 free for some reason.
same here
Can Canadan’s post here and tell us what they saw? Or can SwimSwam fly us to Canada?
You can tell that she’s exhausted in some of these races, but my gosh she goes out fast. Leading at the half in so many. And the 4×100 medley she almost had. Probably would have taken gold with Canada if she wasn’t fatigued!
