World Champion Hunter Armstrong appeared to slip off of his start in heat 2 of the 100 back semi-finals tonight, noticeably coming up behind the pack. Armstrong confirmed this after the race, saying the camera on the block threw him off and his foot also slipped on the wedge.
The backstroke specialist was still able to finish 2nd in the heat, qualifying for tomorrow’s final. He’s hoping to clean up his start for tomorrow night’s final.
I hope Armstrong has a clean swim tonight
Its because of those fuck ass goggles
While Armstrong is indeed a goofball, this comment is misplaced. Wedge failure is not unheard of — and was not his fault. This was one of the greatest recoveries in a clutch moment we have ever seen — maybe focus on that?
Has Hunter Armstrong ever had a fully clean 100 back? I feel every time he either has a bad start, bad turn, hits the lane line 10 times, or another issue.
I Forgot to tie my suit during a 100 im when I was ten
like yeah that was awful
Its gods plan.So I guess Hunter thinks that god sits up there watching swim trials.There are 195 countries in the world so thats a lot of watching swim trials.There are 95 swimmers in 100b in this trial alone.So Hunter figures God doesn’t give too much about the other swimmers in the trial but cares deeply about him.Hmmmmmmmm?
Your interpretation of the quote is too literal. God won’t help him get out of his sudden hardship. He had to do that himself. But Hunter takes comfort in knowing God has a safe plan for him in life.
He is absolutely a goofball. He is famous for doing magic tricks on the pool deck at meets.
His suit will rip in his next race, and his cap will fall off. Something from the roof will fall on him.
And he will still win.
all part of god’s mysterious plan, if McMahon getting busted for doping didn’t already convince you
