This 100 Free Field Was CRAZY Fast

Chris Guiliano and Jack Alexy just went 1-2 in the men’s 100 free at the 2024 US Olympic Trials
And hearing that I’m sure one thing immediately comes to mind, yes Caeleb Dressel will NOT get a chance to defend his gold medal from 2021. But let’s take a look at the NEW faces in this event.

These videos are so great. They have the exact right amount of stats and context to satisfy swimming nerds while still keeping the content very accessible for everyone. Keep up the good work!

That Lezak 46.06 is still so insane, IMO the best relay leg ever. He brings the entire relay team's average down by almost 4 tenths of a second.

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

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)

Not necessarily a Dressel fan, but when you're the defending champion, you should get some special consideration. I'm not familiar with the Olympic rules, but if it's not an international restriction that all countries can only enter 2 athletes, then the US should consider adding a 3rd spot for defending champs, as long as they make the qualifying time. Leaving Dressel out, especially when he's this close makes no sense to me.

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.

@@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.

This video was made early enough in 2024 Trials to look a little bleak for Caeleb Dressel. In addition to swimming the 4x100 relay, Caeleb will individually defended his 2020 gold medals in the 50m freestyle and 100m butterfly.

Relay splits are faster correct? Don't you jump as there coming into the wall? Your in mid air while there touching the wall, it's a FS if your jumping over your teammate and hit the water before they touch the wall?

@TheSwimScribe Ай бұрын

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.
