townley haas is shaking his head and laughing at trenton julian right now

One speed :)

[@potatowizard8035]

Been waiting for this one 😎

[@sscswimmer1]

I think Kieran is trying to meta game this race. He has a lot of races this weekend and just swam the 50, this race strategy probably hurts a lot less tomorrow than Trenton's. Idk if I agree with it but it sure was cool to watch.

Fantastic point. It'll be interesting to see how Julian's "Hassian" strategy will pan out over the next two days. That being said, he got 4th from lane 7 which is 2 more points Cal has now, and if he can hold form throughout the next two days it will prove to have been the right decision.

P.S. this was very interesting to watch indeed, I love watching how different strategies interact and it goes to show you can't count anyone out of a race.

Rip Julian

[@breckr1121]

Smith held it for too long, he should've pushed earlier.

[@stephanieoni7804]

Exactly

I hope there will be diving highlights also as we see Jordan Windle in the background!

When I watched this I was just shocked

[@samh8196]

Did Smith and Magahey decide to swap race plans before the race?

[@kingofthenerds7925]

Prolly

[@dylancossin]

I think everyone just decided to go ‘f**k race plans’ before the race

[@andrewoneil9742]

[@austinreichert8544]

Wow weird they left comments on for the mens 500, but turned it off for the woman’s 500. Coincident? I think not
