That was not an amazing swim. That was the the equivalent of doping. A 4 second drop from his best time due to a suit. A four second drop from a time that he held for 3 straight years so any argument that he was improving and this was just the next step is garbage. Swimming just lost a fan until the new rules are put into effect.
It was a super human swim. I go back to other discussions that we have here about time drops...this is literally unbelievable for a person at the highest level of our sport to drop that amount of time..suit or no suit. This is what we expect of 12 & unders, occasional high school swimmers or late starters...
4 seconds in a 200?
