who the heck thought it was a good idea to ask Caeleb to swim the fly in a PRELIMINARY relay on the day of his first individual final & semi final for the fly at the Olympics after all he’s been through?

This event is nice and refreshing reminder why biological men should never be aloud to compete against biological woman

What a stud. I hope it doesn’t affect his 50 free. Dressel and the coaches must think it won’t.

Such a silly, pointless event.

Kyle Chalmers chasing after 7 ladies was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in World level swimming

Feel like this prelim lineup was just to boost Regan and Caeleb’s medal counts

It was, but when the final will be Murphy, Fink, Walsh, Huske it’s also a let’s make sure as well as the why not.

Australia is an interesting case too. They have the firepower to swap a lot out as well. I think they are going McKeown, Williamson, Temple, O’Callaghan for finals.So where they just feeding McKeon and Chalmers medals as well? It’s also the same calculus as the USA if we are swapping everyone let’s still put together a relay that makes sure it goes and why not feed the stars who won’t be on the finals.

Heck I think China might be similar. Though with their lack of a female backstroker maybe not.

Not against it either way.

Caleb was America’s top 100 flyer and Regan was America’s top 100 backstroker. Whom would you have put in their place?

It’s now possible (albeit probably unlikely) that Dressel could walk away with the same medal haul he had in Tokyo

think he’ll walk away with 10 gold (mixed, medley) when all is said and done

That will make him the most gold medal decorated athlete of all time in Olympic history ONLY behind Micheal Phelps.

I’m starting a petition to ban the mixed relay.
It’s a joke

I’d rather see an 800 Medley relay for men and women!

Pretty unfair for the smaller countries where you probably only have one swimmer per leg

letting smaller countries use multiple swimmers per leg seems like a bridge too far in terms of parity

Why do people hate the mixed medley so much

The fact that opening legs don’t count as world records prove it’s a fake event
