In another crazy three-way finish, Zach Harting and Gunnar Bentz claim the two Olympic spots in the men’s 200 fly, leaving Luca Urlando, the man with the fastest best time in the field, locked out.
Just as he did in the semis, Trenton Julian took the race out hard, leading at every turn, with Urlando and Nicolas Albiero close behind at the 100. Then at the 150, you could draw a line across the top-five as Harting and Bentz pulled even with the leaders.
Disappointing level – Milak, Seto and Le Clos/Burdisso/Kenderessi will make out the podium in Tokyo, with Milak annihilating the field.
Milak is so far ahead it’s not even funny.
What happened to Luca Urlando?
In 2018-2019 he was anointed by SwimSwam as the next Michael Phelps.
Can someone please explain?
Best guy out there, so glad he made the team
Kids if you want to be fast and become an Olympic go to Louisville, that is going to be the IT! team in the next decade.
Love this guy, so happy he made the team
Who could possibly dislike a comment like this.
Luca?
