MEN’S 50 FREE
- Vladimir Morozov, RUS, 21.65
- Michael Andrew, USA, 21.86
- Bruno Fratus, BRA, 22.02
- Anthony Ervin, USA, 22.68
After placing second and third in the event at the first two stops, Russian Vladimir Morozov picks up the win in the men’s 50 free in a time of 21.65, edging out Michael Andrew (21.86) by just over two-tenths. Morozov’s season-best of 21.55 ranks him fourth in the world this year.
Bruno Fratus, who sits atop the rankings in 2019 with a 21.47 in April, placed third in 22.02.
That’s nothing, Dwyer’s been tapering for Tokyo since October.
Longer than that lol.
hahaha
Neither did Ervin
That’s called a « half-taper « by any pure 50 swimmer
Alex, I’ll take “Things Sprinters Say” for $500.
I saw a video once where Eddie Reese said that he’s pretty sure that 2 weeks completely out of the water is probably the best taper, but he’s too scared to try it. A little tongue-in-cheek, but I think he was kind of serious. I probably saw it on this website so I’m sure someone can dig it up.
I think he’s probably closer-to-right than wrong with that statement. The only hangup I could see is, if you’re in a super high volume program, the athletes might lose the feel/technique of going fast without any in-water taper.
Smart explanations Braden – thanks for enlightening swimming fans on particular aspects of the High level swimming world
