This 100 Free Field Was CRAZY Fast 

crazy draft from a huge frenchman + super suits

duncan scott split a 46.14 in jammers. arguably more impressive... he was drafting adrian while lezak drafted the frenchie

Cate Campbell's 50.93 split is better and it was without a supersuit

@@sammy45654565 yup, we may not see a split like that without a draft

@@CaptonicCapricorn I'm not sure it's better bc Lezaks stakes were higher but both incredible swims

It was never going to be easy with the field that deep

@@PropulsionSwimming definitely, it'll be even deeper in Paris, I'm excited to see it

That's a weird take. Dressel had a great prelims swim. Alexey looked like a monster, but there was nothing indicating Dressel couldn't drop 0.5 and make it. Sadly Dressel is never at his fastest at trials. I truly believe Dressel is still the fastest swimmer at the Olympics, he just needs that second taper.

Huge fan of Dressel but I don’t think he’s winning any event this yr at the Olympics (even if he makes the 50 free or 100 fly)

@@verward A 0.5 difference is very big in the pool. Very big.

The format is the format. That is what makes the Trials so special...and heartbreaking. Dressel is an absolute stud and one of the best sprinters in history, but he was beaten by two faster guys last night. This is not his best individual event. He will win the 50 and likely the 100 fly.

Not a chance. Even if they allow caeleb to compete individually, the podium will end at 47.0 if not 46.9.

@@SigaAlfredo1well look at popovici Doing 46.8

@@SigaAlfredo1 The point is not that he would win gold in Paris, but I think there's something special when you win the gold medal by defeating the previous champ, instead of the previous champ watching the race from his sofa.

What a dumb suggestion.

100% because of his start

Chlorinedaddy is taking home the double gold in Paris 🥇🥇

I'd love to see it but he doesn't look like his speed is fully there.

@@snowpants2212 I win 😜

Relay splits are typically faster yes. But you can't be fully in the air before your teammate touches the wall, at least part of your body has to be touching the blocks even if its just your big toe. Meets at any higher level will have pads on the blocks to detect false starts. The general rule is to subtract about .5 per relay start, if you're doing fast starts your reaction time should be about .1 or lower compared to about .6-.5 for a flat start.
