MEN’S 200 BREAST
Cody Miller continued an explosive weekend by winning the 200 breast in yet another lifetime-best. Miller pulled the same feat in the 100 last night, and now moves to #1 in the world rankings for 2015 in this 200.
Miller, an Indiana grad swimming for Badger Swim Club, went 2:10.28, crushing the field by three seconds. Former Penn star Brendan McHugh was 2:13.27 for second place, also breaking his lifetime-best.
Sean Mahoney was third in 2:16.22. The former Cal standout was recently signed by BlueSeventy.
This was one of the first races of the night where Americans dominated the top few spots. The first international finisher was Calum Tait of Great Britain, who was fourth in 2:16.28. Japan’s Olympic hero Kosuke Kitajima went 2:17.30 for fith.
I wonder what would happen if Miller wins Rio using illegal technique?
Will he be pressured to return the medal and be crucified as Kitajima in 2004 and in Van Den Burgh 2012?
What was the issue with Kitajima?
Those dolphin kicks on each stoke tho.
