Not bad for someone that’s been living on the couch for the last 2 years

As a swimmer with that much talent, Milak can still fake a 100 fly, but tomorrow 200 fly will be a test if he’s done enough work.

the power coming from his hips is incredible. That transfer of energy from the core to the toes is remarkable.

Someone remind me- what did Dressel just go? 51 low, right? Either way, looks exciting for Paris whoever races this guy.

He’s probably training different. Possibly less yardage more race focus. Whatever it is… it’s working

Milak or Liendo

Or Dressel. His in-season form is also very promising.

it’s kinda weird to not see Dressel as the guy to beat, given what we’ve seen this season. Of course it will be a great race, with 6 or 7 legit contenders.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if any of the 8 finalists win.

That’s how much dept the men’s 100 fly right now. Arguably the event with the deepest depth.

Weird to put Milak over Dressel when Dressel has shown historically larger tapers, a faster PR, and fast in season times. Ofc it’s not that far of a gap and the top 6 or so are very concentrated- Ponti, Grousset, Temple, Dressel, Liendo, Milak. Possible outside shot in Rose.

dude is so talented that it doesnt matter all that much. If he shows up and feels good, hes going to ruin someone’s night.
