Again, whatever it is I do.

It is often the other way around for swimming. A lot of foreign nationals come to the US for training. France's Leon Marchand, who broke Phelps' last remaining record, went to school at ASU and was coached by Phelps' former coach, Bob Bowman.

Not a lot of action this morning with only three events, but there was a big upset. #1 seed Sam Short of Australia seems not fully recovered from recent illness as he fails to make the 800 final. Meanwhile, our hero, Bobby Finke will look to copy his world championship swim and win it from an outside lane. As a recovering distance swimmer, I love to watch this guy bring it home like a runaway locomotive. But beware as only 3 seconds separated first from eighth in an 8 minute race. On the women's side McIntosh eased her way into the 400 IM final where she will be the prohibitive favorite. The 100 back will be another barn burner as 4 of the 5 fastest swimmers ever are through to tonite's semi.

Nothing about attempting to interrupt the peaceful transfer of power? Nothing at all? With a memory like that how will you ever pass that competency test so many on here lobbied for in order to vote.

The rare 100 / 400 double followed by water polo.

But don't forget

Dandy Don.

While that is an impressive lineup, I have to go under. We just got our first year with two at the same time.

I checked with all my swimming friends and they confirmed I am not prejudiced.

Yes, it does. Along with this.

It helps that swimming is the highest form of sport.

That might be the most pretentiously liberal arts sentence ever written.

Are you really drawing a line from liberal arts degrees to the deaths of millions?

Whatever it is I do.

Titmus is so fast. Little worried about Ledecky not breaking 4:00 though

NBC

What I have says women's 400 starts at 1:42 central

It is setting up nicely. Ledecky, Titmus, and McIntosh are through to the final. Ledecky was fastest, followed by Titmus with McIntosh fourth fastest. But all of their prelim times were pedestrian. Expect a much faster final.

The counterpoint is that she is, like Biden was, the presumptive nominee.

where is he most likely to get his own web page?

The men's and women's 4x100 free relay finals are also tomorrow.

All of the morning sessions will air live on USA starting at 4 am central. The evening semis/finals will air live on NBC starting at 1:30 pm central. Swimming will also be heavily featured in NBC’s tape-delayed prime-time coverage. https://www.nbcolympics.com/schedule/sport/swimming

Yeah, I am with those guys on this one. If Biden is no longer running there no longer is a debate. Once a Democratic nominee is determined with some greater degree of certainty, then I am sure Trump will be raring to go. He has never shied away from going after another candidate. Hell, he is even work shopping nicknames for Harris. Which is such third grade playground bullshit, but his base eats third grade playground shit up. The only thing they like better is second grade playground bullshit.
