2012 Olympic Trials USA Swimming

WHAT MATT GREVERS LEARNED In all of the interviews, he seems like a really great guy. I am really glad he made the team.

HEY ??? Some of those br pullouts seem to be illegal!!! They dolphin BEFORE the hands move apart! We would be DQ'ed for that! The elite swimmers have been getting away with this for years so this is nothing new. Meanwhile I've had to learn to separate my hands before doing my dolphin kick. Wouldn't be surprised if they further change the rule some day...

She swam/finaled in both! 5th in the 400IM and 6th in the 400 Free.Sorry, should have mentioned both. Pretty good record for a tiny 14 year old.

Clary!!!! Thank goodness he's made it. He's worked so hard.

If you notice, Andrea Kraemer never moves when she talks with taller swimmers after the race, they move into her range. She does stand on a block. Neat article in the new Swimmer magazine about it.

The elite swimmers have been getting away with this for years so this is nothing new. Meanwhile I've had to learn to separate my hands before doing my dolphin kick. Wouldn't be surprised if they further change the rule some day... I'm pretty sure the rule was made to cover the natural dolphin undulation that occurs at the END of the pulldown stroke...not at the beginning. They've just played around the ruling until one day it becomes more clear. "separation" of the hands...yeah...whatever. Look at the slo-mo videos, there's no separation.

I'm pretty sure the 100 BR is before the MR.The faster swimmer at the Olympics will swim in the finals and the other swimmer will be in the prelims.With the exception of the Men’s 100 Fly final, all of the 100 events are done before the prelims of the Medley Relays. Who swims on what relays is the coach’s decision. Usually the slower of our 2 swims in prelims in the MR and the fastest in finals. In the free relays, usually the Olympic qualifiers in the 100 and the 200 free swim finals only and the next 4 fastest in USA trials swim prelims with the fastest 2 of those swimming in finals. For the men’s 100 fly in the 400 MR, usually the coaches assess the 2 swimmers prelim and semi times to see who will swim prelims and who will swim finals. If they guess right our fastest flyer swims in finals. If they guess wrong we can have an Olympic Gold Medalist in the 100 fly not swim finals in the MR, as happened in 2004.

She's standing on a platform I think.I've seen her interview Grevers and Adrian from the pool deck and it's basically impossible to keep them in the same frame. I think she does a good job, though.

1. Just how much upside does Larson have? And speaking of upside, just how tall is she? She dwarfed Soni and Soni is about 5' 8". Some very tall winners last night with Larson and Grevers!
