if Mary T had the super suit/spantex suit and underwater dolphin kicks 15M, she would STILL be holding the US and AM records to this day. . .maybe even the WR?
former swimmer from the 80s. .we wouldn't have scratched events just bcuz we didn't meet expectations in one event. You get back on and get ready for the next one. It SEEMS that with this social media fishbowl that if you dare to compete and not make the team you feel why try on your next event like its a HIT to your brand or something. Would Phelps scratch events for having a bad swim? oh wait, he didn't have a bad swim. His pressure was GOLD or its a fail. The pressure is crazy. . you worked so hard just to be there. . enjoy the journey of competing. I hope she wants to compete irregardless of getting 'the win'. There was no PAID endorsements in our day. I also remember that it was the club coaches that were recognized the most that were the ones assigned to the big international meets. .and the university swim coaches were sut lucky sons of a B to GET these top swimmers. THAT changed to the college coaches being recognized far more than club coaches and PAID a hell of a lot more.
Thank you for bringing awareness! I hope you are getting better. It has been 2 years since I was diagnosed. With the help of IVIG for about 10 months, physical therapy to this day, alpha lopic acid, and B-12, my legs and ankles are getting stronger and I don't use the cain that much. I had drop foot also and it was embarrassing. There were times I would fall and needed help to get up. I've never heard of this autoimmune disease, and it was overwhelming to learn about it. Thank you for your story. I understood everything you said.
He Is So Good With This Start But He Have 2 Mistakes First He Is Looking Too High After Jumping From The Block Secondly His Lower Part Is A Bit Bending Entering The Water That Prevent Him To Get To The Water In Vertical Shape That Can Cause A Little Bit Drag If He Solves This 2 Mistakes He Could Have The Perfect Start
GOOD FOR GRETCHEN WALHS , IN ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS , YOU SAID I PICK EMMA MCHEON ALL DAY LONG, PUTTING MONEY ON IT, BUT NOW YOU GONNA PICK GRETCHEN.BUT MAGGIE WILL STEAL THE SHOW LIKE THE LAST TIME.EXCUSE BIG LETTER, CATARACT AND MY ENGLISH
the aussie men have been very disappointing compared to the girls that are threatening world records but struggling to get a qualifying time. Take the 100m freestyle 47.75 it will require a full second improvement to even be considered a serious gold medal favourite. 👎
