Seeing the olympic warm up pool is so funny to me because you’d think it’s only the small “insignificant” competitions with as much chaos in the pool (hitting each other, swimming on top of each other, kicking 🦵🏻) but apparently that also happens to the best swimmers in the world
Good morning, did you KNOW that the only African and "Arab" county present in the swimming competition in the Tokyo Olympics won GOLD 🥇? Yup. That's Tunisia 🇹🇳 Ahmad Hafnaoui that's his name 😌❤️
Continuing swimming commentary, this time for the first night of finals.
I am so freaking jealous of the warmup pool and team areas. They’re so much nicer than the vast majority of main pools I’ve had meets at.
COME ON CHASE!!!!!!!!!! YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
1-2 USA!!! LET’S GO JAY LITHERLAND
I don’t necessarily miss swimming, but I do miss competing.
WHY IS JAY SUCH A PRECIOUS NUGGET?!?!?!
I cannot imagine swimming butterfly a few months after breaking my elbow holy shit. As someone whose main stroke was fly, oh my god.
Okay Kieran, don’t let us down!!! Wooo bronze!!!!!
OMG HAFNAOUI, THE TUNISIAN SWIMMER I AM SO HAPPY FOR HIM OMG! HE BARELY EVEN QUALIFIED AND NOW HE WON!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS WHY THE OLYMPICS ARE THE BESTTTT. This is Tunisia’s fifth gold medal ever omg. He’s so precious, I want to give him all the hugs omg.
“You have to be able to swim all four strokes well in the 400 IM”. Thank you for that very astute observation, Mr. Phelps lmao
Oh my god Yui Ohashi is so fast...
Emma Weyant and Hali Flickinger 2-3 wooo!!
Literally the most annoying thing about swimming in prime time is when they say “4 by 100 relay”. Just call it the 400 relay holy shit.
Okay Michael Andrew, let’s kick major butt!!!!
It’s amazing how fast Peaty is because he’s so big, which is not the normal body shape for amazing breaststrokers
Relays were always the most fun to swim for sure.
Okay, why did they put Simone Manuel as the anchor when she didn’t even make the team in the individual 100 free??? Why didn’t they put Natalie Hinds there?!!?!!
Godddd the Australians are so insanely fast, it’s WILD.
