Lol so what event did he get a gold medal in? (Not counting relays where other people can carry your weight)
Didn’t he only swim twice?
No drama for him this week.
I think he was overly polite when describing King’s personality
This was a great interview – i have to admit i really like Cody . Genuine guy , serious talent .
Except for when he does extra dolphin kicks off the start, and does little flutter kicks after every breastroke kick.
we already knew that – i prefer to skip that aspect for now otherwise it becomes a trend that is not beneficial at all .
But it’s not serious talent if he cheats so why would we skip the cheating aspect of it unless we are trying to become labeled as the country who lets their athletes get away with cheating.
He always does great interviews.
What did they say at the very end?
It was a solid 59 low – great job
He trains at IU-Bloomington, which is about and hour away from Indianapolis. So he probably wanted to avoid driving two hours round trip a few days in a row
makes sense
Thanks☺ didnt know that. I thought all the IU swimmers and alumi swim in this pool. Now it makes sense
Doesnt he train he train in Indianapolis? If so, why does he needs to travel and sleep in a hotel?
