Off the start, it looked like a battle between Olympic champ Ranomi Kromowidjojo and 2-time series winner in this event Sarah Sjostrom. However, Sjostrom began to break from the Dutchwoman until Blume accelerated suddenly into the finish. Blume out-touched Sjostrom by a tenth of a second and stopped her from a 3rd series event sweep.
Blume won with a season best of 24.08, still the third-fastest time in the world. Sjostrom remains on top with her 23.91 from Budapest.
Anyone know if she’s single? Asking for a friend…
Yeah its kind of insane how pretty she is. However it must kind of suck being that attractive in the sense that it seems to be the only thing people focus on.
Whatever you do, don’t follow her Instagram feed when your wife’s around. But it is insane how tiny she looks in the water and how fast she moves through it. Female version of Tony Ervin, whom Dave Marsh called a “barracuda.”
