what a race execution from Sates, all of that left in the tank at the 300yards!

[@henrytheswimmer9453]

I think sates has found his ground now

[@lajohnson1ly]

First 250 2.04.07, second 250 2.02.54, in his fourth 500 ever. Sates said he screwed up on his race strategy of making it a 300/200 and didn't increase his pace soon enough until 350 - last three 50s were descending splits: 24.21, 23.98, 23.87. If he had opened it up more at 300, the NCAA and US Open record might have fallen.
I don't always follow swimming closely, so I wonder why Kieran Smith has fallen off in the last two years.

[@ryancase04]

I think he has been focusing on training for long course meters after going to the Olympics and racing with the national team so he is focusing on the swimming part rather than turns. Also he went out way too fast in this race so we will see what he does at this years ncaas

[@Easterly888]

They took out the first 50 close to what my current best 50 time is.

[@Amiright-zg5gd]

their first 50 would have been state qualifier in my state…

[@nancywhitten2585]

Great announcing ROWDY!!! Wooo hoooo! 🏊‍♂️

[@alvinli5268]

i like how the opening 200 split would've won MIAA states in the 200 free Lol

[@mattwilliamson3555]

1:36 would win most states

[@iizzcool]

college men are usually much faster than high school boys lol..

[@futileexistence6913]

Idk some of them parent kids go fast faster then that

[@MrKernkraft4000]

Here I am thinking my 4.36 in hs 20 yrs ago was something nice. Good grief.

Start off race: 2:31

[@justinrash]

is the NCAA record not 4:06.32? how is 4:06.61 a new record???

[@ayejayrulez9]

Smith went 4:06.32 at the ACCs

Ridiculous

What is the number for?

[@teodorrome2813]

Smith just got destroyed by someone who specializes in the 200 IM

[@iizzcool]

huh? if sates specialized in 200 IM he would have swam it. btw smith has a faster 200 IM time than sates and he doesn't even swim it really

[@seantheswimmer]

smith actually specialized in the 200 im thru hs and i think his freshman year of college as well, dont count him out for a good 200 im

[@uhzeem495]

at 3:07 the official puts in 17 on the board instead of 3

[@JakeClark3672]

I believe that’s because some people prefer to do it that way, and count down as opposed to counting up. I had some international teammates that said this was the norm where they were from.

[@readec.gloeckner5923]

No wonder Lia Thomas wants to swim in women’s, she swims in 4:34 versus the male winner at 4:06. What a shame to the biological women who have to put up with the ego of Lia Thomas who is a nobody in mens swimming. So unfair!

[@lemonman394]

Well she was 4:18 when she was a dude so I mean a pretty good swimmer. But no where near how good she is as a female definitely unfair.

[@iizzcool]

@@lemonman394 they do not care about any of that they just hate trans people.

lia’s best time as a woman is still 9-nearly-10 seconds slower than the women’s record in the event

[@runkillorun2]

​@@elmonoconzapatos7159 That's cause she's never been a great swimmer. A good one yes but not a great one. Imagine if she was a top 10 male swimmer, she most likely would of broken that record

Another foreign athlete training in the US. 👎🏼

[@robertniemann5750]

Foreign athletes with talent like Sates are keeping our boys sharp for international competition, not allowing them to come would result in slower championship times and more likelihood of our guys getting rolled come worlds/olympics

Poes

I think having international students is great. But him joining just 2 months before NCAA’s is kinda BS. Seems schemey. But georgias not the biggest team so maybe this happens a lot??? Idk
