So was his previous best 3.43, 3.44 or 3.45 ? The last few paragraphs are confusing.

3:43 was his all-time previous best, 3:44 is what he swam in Tokyo, 3:45 is his previous season best

Cool to see Felix finally get an international gold medal, after a tough week for him as his fiancée Catie DeLoof just miss3d the Olympic team after a swim-off.

Agreed. He’s been absolutely dealing since his frosh season at Michigan. Just a beast.
