- Thereโs a group of swim coaches online trying to decide whether or not Regan Smith should have been disqualified for saying a โbad wordโ after breaking the WORLD RECORD in the 100 backstroke. The conversation is MOSTLY leaning towards โyesโ for a DQ. What. Are. We. Doing.
00:00 - Replying to @poetclem and @thatpoetclemWhen did I accuse him of doping?
- Virginia Tech swimmer Reka Gyorgy has released a full statement on the NCAA allowing Lia Thomas to compete in the 500 freestyle. She was 17th in the event. โEvery event that transgender athletes participated in was one spot taken away from biological females throughout the meetโ
- Obstacle course swimming looks rad. Tag a lane line puller.
00:00 - Replying to @kylesockwellPretty incredible that you can post something about being blown away by a performance and be called a racist for it. If youโre new here, โwhat the **** just happenedโ is exactly what people who actually understand this sport are all thinking.
- Katie Ledecky just won the 1500m freestyle World Title by so much that she was the only person on camera when she touched the wall. Once again, Katie swimming so fast that she looks like she's the only one swimming. Greatest freestyler of all-time, no contest.
- Quick reminder that Lรฉon Marchand's brother Oscar is the greatest hype man that this planet has ever seen ๐ค
- I donโt speak French, but Lรฉon Marchand, and 17,000+ fans, taught me the National Anthem in Paris. What an unbelievable experience getting to watch an athlete like Lรฉon perform to such an incredible level in his home country at the Olympic Games.
- This HS swim team gifted their teammate with new equipment. He's never had his own before.
- Katie Ledecky invented social distancing.
- Pan Zhanle just threw down the fastest 100 freestyle split in swimming history. 45.92 ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ
- If you donโt understand how ridiculous this is...pull out your phone and set a 21-second timer. Thatโs how much better Katie Ledecky is than anyone else in the world.It's not just that @katieledecky won the 1500M freestyle at #PanPacs. It's that she left everyone in the dust by 21 SECONDS.
