It was good vibes all around for the Georgia swimmers following Fink and Wilson’s 1-2 finish in the 200 breast, as good friends Olivia Smoliga and Natalie Hinds kept the good times rolling but tying for the victory in the first semi of the women’s 100 freestyle, both hitting a PB of 53.55.
Smoliga is coming off a third-place finish in the 100 back, still looking to make her second Olympic team, while Hinds has positioned herself to potentially qualify for the first time tomorrow.
Smoliga’s best time, set in the heats, was a 54.00, while Hinds had previously been 54.29.
Hey NBC, “Smoliga & Hinds” legit sounds like a new cop TV smash hit you still have the opportunity to create.
Your welcome in advance for that Emmy nom.
Trivia question: who is your favorite swimmer on the US team, and why is it Olivia Smoliga?
Olivia Smoliga is my favorite swimmer, I want to be her best friend
Ahhh I wish Smoliga, Hinds, and Weitzel could all make the team in individual spots.
Who is the bank robber in the blue ski mask????
My guess, and this is pure speculation, I think it was Dick Pound. He was still surprised to hear Steele Johnson pullout that he didnt want to miss any swimming action.
I so hope Olivia will be among top 4, preferably top two swimmers. I hope for all top four swimmers posting solid times
Good luck, Olivia!
I love her
