David Johnston shocked the world last week by making the world championships team in the 400 free (1st, 3:45.75). After the race, Johnston explained that the hand signal he and his teammates do before any of his races (which looks similar to a longhorn, the Texas mascot) is something he made up his freshman year, which means “shock the world”.
Anybody who’s been following him even casually since he committed to Texas has known that this was a long time coming. outside of Finke (and hopefully Mijatovic in a few years) this guy is the future of US distance
I think Brooks Curry and his Coach Steve Mellor coined this term a while back…Mellor wrote a book about it
SHOCK THE WORLD: A Competitors Guide to Realizing Your Potential https://a.co/d/26TXCdM
I have that book. Highly recommend!
Hot take, he drops a 3:42 at worlds to just miss the American record and get on the podium. Shock the world
That hand motion was originated by Omega Phi Psi. Stop the disrespect!

Good thing no one cares about a fraternity 🤣
Eddie Reese >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Peter Andrew
Any questions?
Thanks captain obvious. Peter Andrew is doing the impossible managing to ruin the single greatest swim talent since Michael Phelps.
Thanks for your contribution. Super insightful/relevant
Keep shocking David. The USA needs another great distance freestyler.
I love this guy
