Olympic champion Bobby Finke led wire-to-wire in the timed final of the men’s 1500 free, winning by 15 meters ahead of Ohio State’s Charlie Clark, 14:45.72 to 14:51.78. Clark, meanwhile, was entered with a 15:04. He dropped 13 seconds to earn second place and a probable trip to Budapest. Finke clocked the third-fastest time in the world, while Clark posted the #6 time.
Bobby Finke may not have world records under his belt but what he did in Tokyo is outstanding and there is no need for him to mention each time Dressel or Ledecky.
It turns out Finke didn’t win the 800/1500 despite holding back until the last 50. He might’ve won because he had someone to pace with so he can hold back until the last 50.
Katie going 25.7 on last 50 at worlds?

“She got me,” Bobby said of Katie outsplitting him. “That f*cking Katie boomed me.”
Bobby added “She’s so good”, repeating it four times.
Bobby then said he wanted to add Katie to the list of players he works out with this summer.
