Just wanted to speak up and say, Gator Swim Club Swimmers will do fine in London.I do not believe they are fully tapered.Rested yes, fully tapered no.
I think they will all improve their times in London.
No worries. Gregg Troy’s swimmers show up when it counts. Everyone can talk but they have no idea where everyone is at really.
@BOBOGIGI : Merci de ta charmante collaboration ! ton attitude me fait fait penser a celle de l’équipe de France de Foot …tu vois ce que je veux dire . No comment . hehhehehe
Yes, finally you speak french! I waited for that! But don’t count on me to speak french here. I refuse it. I work my english. I knew there was something from France behind you. Are you american, english, french or someone who has dual citizenship?
Back to your comment. Thank you for the comparison with these stupid guys in soccer (like they said in USA). I know it was a joke. These players without education are a shame for France. But I didn’t want to irritate you with my answers. You are outside the USA so you know how it’s difficult to find a live streaming of these trials. And I have no specific answers. Every night I look… Read more »
prelims today available live on Usaswimming . great quality ! check it guys .
I wish SwimSwam was doing ALL the coverage.
Bobo GiGi some swimmers like Tran who swam like a bat out of hell because they are poor meter swimmers she wanted to just make the semi and she almost did but got tired in the swim off have to do it. Not certain if Tran will pull that in 100 meter backsroke in the prelims but she will in the semi to get to the finals since she is the weakest meter swimmer. Think Missy Franklin kicks Tran butt in meters will Tran kicks her butt in yards.
I have never said Cindy Tran was the weakest swimmer in long course. She’s among the 16 best american swimmers in the 100 back. I just talked about her troubles in long course compared to her high level in yards. It’s just not the same sport. And about Missy I’m sure she prefers to dominate in long course and accepts to be beaten in yards. It’s better to do that than the opposite.
Well, Clary is the only one of the fast swimmers that swam there as a kid.The last time any swimmer on Fast made the olympic team was Janet Evans, its usually Mission Viejo or Nova but Nova isn’t what it use to be.
Dear NBC,
Andrea Kremer is difficult to watch: a bit mean, callus and just not a swimmer.
She is better than that creepy Jim Gray.
Please can we just get Alex Flanagan? Fly her in from Federal Way.
Sincerely, Red-blooded, informed swimming enthusiasts
Heck, I’d even take Craig Hummer at this point – he could use a promotion.
Summer Sanders should take Andrea’s place. She funny, warm and intelligent with her deck interviews. She knows what these athletes are going through.
Impressive 400IM by Lochte. He swam it like a boss. Dude looked in full control of the whole race and it looked like he just did just enough to win and has a lot more in the tank. I think MP will drop this race in London.
