Glad to see hes doing well after getting shot in the leg.
The two NCAA individual championships he won a few months ago were a pretty good indication that he had recovered from that incident.
Do I hear 58.84? 58.84 going once, going twice, sold to the man that failed to individually medal at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics.
Michael Andrew actually didn’t swim the 100 back at the olympics. Shocking I know!
when did anyone say he swam the 100 back?
Honestly don’t understand your point.
58.84 still the best part of a second faster.
Give it a rest.
“The man that (sic) failed to individually medal at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics”…you mean me? And 99.9999999% of the male population?
