- 32:03 Will Kaylee McKeown go 1-and-1 in the backstroke events in Paris?
- 34:38 Will Leon Marchand swim both the 200Br Semi and the 4×200 Free Relay in Paris?
- 40:39 Should the US give out bronze medals at the Olympic Trials?
- 43:27 Will Regan Smith Re-enter the NCAA?
Kaylee can’t do the 4×200 relay due to the very recent change in schedule Coleman.
I think if we’re giving out bronze medals, then the entire heat should receive a medal. Similar to NCAAs. I just think asking “the first loser” to stand up with the two future Olympians alone after a race would be harsh, but the energy would be different if fourth through eighth were there.
I love the breakdowns, can we get Braden back in on these too? Makes for a good trio, if you’re not too busy…
Feel like its another year of not being able to but…
Anyone know a way us Canadians can watch the meet?
Hoping to see my cousins last NCAA meet !:)
I feel like most Americans can’t even watch it :’)
In evaluating Leon’s choices and potential in swimming 2 or three events in a session, look at his multiple 4 swim afternoons in ASU duals. No one else, but Leon possibly.
The question isn’t where Regan would go for NCAA swimming, it’s if. Obviously she’s not leaving Bob Bowman.
What if Bowman leaves Tempe tho…
I know Texas is going to make a run at him with a lot of money that no one else can offer. However, if she were to follow then under the NCAA she would be swimming for Carol and the women’s program, not Bob. Or maybe they would find a way around that. I know women have trained with Eddie in the past but it was after they graduated from the girls’ program and were no longer competing in the NCAA
How do we watch women’s NCAAs? It says livestream on NCAA.com but it only says DIII men’s and women’s NCAAs. I fear that this will be another year of broken streams.
ESPN has had em the for a real long time I think

Coleman — completely unrelated to swimming question, but you always start your podcasts mentioning you’re coming to us from Austin! Are you going to be watching the total solar eclipse in a few weeks 🙂
