We saw Michael Andrew in action at the Westmont Pro Swim, racing 50s of stroke up to the 200 IM, where he placed 3rd. After verbally re-committing to the 200 IM earlier in the meet and showing that his finishing speed is in a good place, the Olympic champion said that his current energy system isn’t quite where he’d want it to be to swim an ideal 200 IM.
Why does he get more coverage than other deserving swimmers?
Who should we have interviewed at this meet that we didn’t, in your opinion?
(The two names you’re thinking of refused to be interviewed).
Michael is “toying” with his babble
If a 2IM was 50fly/50ba/100br he would dominate.
If only there were 150 IM: 50fly/50ba/50br he’ll set WR that will last for decades
Maybe peak Dressel could have done it. He does hold the WR in the 100FL LCM and 100IM SCM.
Didn’t really need to announce that he cannot finish a 200…
I’m hoping Herbie Behm is able to find and fix some mechanical issue in Andrews’ free (breathing?) and suddenly his last 50 in the 200IM shocks us all. Maybe it’s really just conditioning, but his technique in last 50 in Tokyo looked brutal compared to the rest of the field.
That’s what happens when you’re experimenting with different techniques every month in training.
but his technique in last 50 in Tokyo looked brutal compared to the rest of the field.

I was embarrassed for him. He looked like a T-Rex trying to swim freestyle.
Great to hear that he’s enjoying other aspects of being on a solid team. Great to hear the acknowledgement of where he’s at and while not fully stated there feels to be a clear belief that improvements will continue. I hope he gets to where he can feel he can support a 200 at max effort without crashing. We all know the disconnect between his talent and results. Getting past that would just be great to see. The more people that can swim fast the happier this fan is.
