Olympic swimming winding down- what are your highlights?

I have been slow to post as I am taking in all the races watching them live during the morning/afternoon then also in the evening on prime time again (this is when you know you are a swim nerd). I read all the recaps and comments on both national news and the swimming websites. Fun to see non swimming people enjoy the sport and athletes.

Some of the highlights I haven't mentioned yet:

Leon Marchand- what can't he do?

Torri Huske 100 free- having such a great meet!

100 back both M and W (and Ryan Murphy is going to have a little girl- exciting moment)

W 200 fly

M 100 free- 46.4 is so fast....

Kate Douglass 200 breast

M 800 free

M and W 4x200 free relays- USA really came through

I'm sure I missed something and love to hear what stood out to you. I'm excited to see how the meet wraps up and see more relays!Medal

  • A funny highlight - the lifeguard, AKA "Bob the Cap Catcher," who dove into the pool to rescue Emma Weber's swim cap after her race. And yes, he was wearing a very colorful swim brief by Funky Trunks.
