Will Leon swim scm this winter?
I wonder if he will shift his focus to the 200 IM to try and nab that world record next year. His cushion in the 400 IM is so big he probably doesn’t need to have that be his focus to ensure an easy victory
hot take but marchand’s breaststroke of the 200 and 400 im shows how fast michael andrew’s breaststroke leg is
MA is a 58 low 100 breastroker. No other IMer is even close to that time. Of course his breast split is gonna be insane
I think you mean “how fast michael andrew’s breaststroke leg was”.
The dude isn’t going to ever make a major international team in anything other than a 50 again.
There’s a video on YouTube putting Marchsnd and Phelps side by side in the 400 IM. It’s not the best, but it really puts home how the breast split made all the difference.
Marchand’s versatility is scary
Marchand is basically Chase Kalisz but better in every single stroke lol
yeah facts. Marchand and Kalisz’s 2 best strokes are the short axis ones
400 IM video was all underwater. Had to go to YouTube to find the regular one.
Could you make a very early quick bet on the winners of Paris 2024? What are your feelings?
I would like to know the first comments, all categories
