What a race. Dara was running down Veldhuis. 5m more and she would have had her. 52.44??? Wow, what a swim.
Should Dara anchor the women's 4x100 Medley? I think this proves that she should.
I don't think so. Those two are vets.
Coughlin was slow, no getting around it. She swam more than half a second faster at the Santa Clara meet in May, for heaven's sake!
They may be vets in swimming, but they are young in years of living on the planet. Big difference in how 25 year olds handle life and 41 year olds handle life. I think the JH matter has affected things and there is no denying that anything that can affect one mentally will have an impact on performance.
