This is true. Australian trials pools is even more shallow yet had better times. Women’s 200free as the example. It is part of the equation for sure but my gut is saying something else is off too

Good article from swimswam today: https://swimswam.com/other-facts-to-consider-when-looking-at-slow-times-in-paris/ This Olympics is slow!!!!! Slowest men’s 100 breaststroke since 2004. Among many others. It’s been bothering me watching these swims as something just seems off. I can’t figure it out. But I’m reaching out to some coaching buddies to pick their brains.

Looking historically at longhorn men in the 200, I would say Eddie coaches it and has trained them that way. I don’t have data but have years of my eyeballs watching Eddie’s men swim this event. I do agree tho, Hobson definitely should get out faster in the first 25 meters

You are not wrong for feeling that way. We have always had a rivalry with Australia so in my mind they are on the same level as OU This would be so awesome!

100 breast is my personal favorite event. It’s what I swam and was the stroke I coached for many years. I’ve got fucking goosebumps from that race. That is what the Olympics are all about. No one set any records. No one ran away with the race. It was a dogfight of sheer will and it was so damn beautiful. Congratulations to the men and coaches that worked inanely hard for that race to happen They fucking better be

Murphy looked great off the turn and underwater but didn’t close well. It’s just a semi but his finals seeding might be closer to the outside I am definitely interested to see Armstrong in the next heat. Would love to see him crush this semi

Women’s 100 breast final is wide open. King looked a little off just then but she’s set up well going into finals. She’s shown up big before and can definitely do it again

If Hobson can go out in 50.5 he has a shot. He’s a back half swimmer. Should be a great race!

1:44 top seed Popovici. Hobson will need to get out faster in the final to compete for gold
