@rbgaldo5346 2 жыл бұрын

@kar87698 2 жыл бұрын
Perhaps for long distance, but for short distance McKeon for sure takes the current title of GOAT. Can’t really say someone is GOAT of swimming unless they dominate both long distance and short distance. Currently two GOATs in swimming, one for long distance and the other for short distance.
