Also, I had noticed the 0.8 seconds before - to non-swimmers that sounds like a tiny amount, but to swimmers, they realize that for Olympic-level swimmers in a 100, that is big.
Well, I was one tenth of a second off trial cuts but the people actually qualifying for the team are 3 or 4 seconds faster than that. So, my point was that if he was 0.8 off cuts, he was likely a seconds off making the team which should be a relatively large amount by anyone's perspective.
