A question for the specialists: I don't understand how Hugo Gonzales was able to quite clearly beat Leon Marchand (future double medley world champion !) and Carson Foster on the 400 individual medley, to find himself some months later only 12th in the 200 medley in Budapest, more than 3" behind Léon Marchand ? He was injured, or in shape too soon perhaps? It's a mystery to me...
Marchand had a bad Race to start. Foster was much better at worlds and is progressing mentally in the sport. Gonzalez turns are really good and can use lactic acid to his advantage amount him really good at short course but not at par with Marchand and Foster in long course.
If the 200 IM wasn’t choking. This time it is. Carson went 3:35 adding 2 seconds, all he needed was to drop 8 tenths to win or even come second. He expended too much energy in prelims, he has to learn to control his energy.
I find it hard to believe anyone "chokes" in swimming. It's highly individual and any swimmer will tell you that sometimes you may not feel as fast in the water as you thought you might. Also saying, "All he needed was to drop 8 tenths" is a crazy expectation to have when you're already so fast. I'm sure you go 3:33 in this event all the time though, right?
@@kilenklimek9218 he could have gone maybe half a second faster then his prelim and he would have placed second. At the end of the day he added 2 seconds.
@@purselmer5931 In this case covid gave essentially all college athletes a chance for an extra year, but if a player takes a year off they still have the potential to use that year later.
@@danielg6312 I don't want to seem thick, but the rule still applies (after the COVID exception, since NCAAs was cancelled one year) that if you swim 4 years straight for your college, you do not have a 5th year option then. Right?
Wow, Leon Marchland going 3:31 in a dual meet is crazy. His time would have won this event by a second.
so well deserved for Hugo!!!!!! Go Bears!
0:02 that Kids face expression when he saw the sparklers LOL
that or he was reacting to how big Brooks Fail is

Thx@@nategdoes9963
Both carson and marchand were not preparing for this competition, they were aiming higher

Do you have anything better to do other than shitting on Carson, who’s an amazing and hardworking swimmer
Get a life, he clearly lives rent free in your head

@@chriscountry2437 not shitting on him it’s called constructive criticism.

8:55 what a humble man
classy interview
Lol that's Sean Grieshop at 1:29, not Hugo Gonzalez
0:01 shoutout to to the scared kid for overcoming his fears
And Foster choked again. *Heart Fingers on Chest*
Love the dude but he needs a new finals routine
@@nategdoes9963 It’s really cringey
he seems to live in your head rent free bro its weird. he steal your girl or what
Let it go bro
I don’t think he choked I don’t think even his perfext race would of beat Leon
Hugo was doing 4 strokes per length on breaststroke 😮
Carson Foster 2019 200 IM world champ? I guess he mean junior world champion
What does Hugo Gonzalez have on the nose piece of his goggles?
The commentators didn’t even talk about Gonzalez until the 250 mark
You are obviously unfamiliar with Rowdy Gaines. There's never anyone else in the race except the man/woman in the lead. He's not a great commentator.
not only that... they showed the WRONG swimmer in the beginning when they talked about him.. they showed sean grieshop and called him hugo lmfao
Didn't they say he had a good 200 back and that he would be out fast to the 200 mark?
5th year senior? 6:11
ncaa allows for an athlete to compete an extra year if they've already completed their four years of college
@@dylanh8659 Only b/c of Covid?

@@purselmer5931 no yeah you’re right, COVID does apply. But COVID isn’t the only reason why people can compete for a fifth year.
Brooks "A-Final" Fail in another A-Final for UofA
Unfortunate last name. "Hey, Brooks. Did you Fail to make the top 3 again?" haha
