He’s reasonably young and top 20 in the world. I’m not sure it’s fair to minimize his past accomplishments or doubt his future progression.
I am sure we will see him with great performances soon . Up to him to choose to step up for the right training + motivation for that . Us free relays need now a guy of his speed to match the french squad and the Aussie squad .
Great potential in the 100 free but we are still waiting for the big performances in long course. Is he able to play with Nathan Adrian, James Magnussen, Cesar Cielo and Yannick Agnel in the next years? We’ll see.
I don’t think so. Great guy though. Our kids went to a clinic last weekend organized by South Texas, held by Jimmy and Kathleen “The Chocolate” Hersey.
