#100 fly

WORLD CHAMPION OMGGGGGG

now that’s a title I didn’t expect as much. Cause like Léon was a sure thing, Maxime was way less but it happened and I’m so, so happy for him. Now two world champions for this year on the team 😍

Thanks Léon for actually posting this in his story cause I was waiting for the official post from the FFN but it didn’t come so …

Bonus : Léon’s reaction to Maxime’s title

Don’t let me near a keyboard I said or I’d be capable of shipping it 😭

Swimming masterpost

Instead of a ton of small posts, I’m just going to put all my thoughts here lol

Every single time a swimmer is way ahead in the fly and back and then falls way behind in breast, I feel that on a freaking spiritual level because breaststroke is the devil’s stroke.

I cannot believe that Seto didn’t make it through in IM.

EMMA WEYANT OMG.  YESSSSSSSSS.  TIME DROP IN THE PRELIM HEAT OF THE OLYMPICS OMGGGGG.

Oh daaaaamn being DQed at the Olympics...that sucksss

Michael Andrew is so freaking fast....

The difference between the technique from the IM breaststroke and individual sprint event is great, we love to see it.

57 OH MY GODDDDDDDDDD ARNO KAMMINGA DOES NOT DISAPPOINT

Fucking Adam Peaty and his 50 breast being faster than my 50 free

God I forgot how fast Margaret MacNeil is

Hell yes Torri Huske

Sarah Sjoestroem is still dominant and we stan a queen

Under 56...oh my goddddddd

What I really want is for people to understand just how tiny of a second separates swimmers.  Zhang Yufei and Emma McKeon are tied for first which is awesome to see, followed directly by Sarah Sjoestroem with Torri Huske less than half a second behind.  It’s wild y’all.

Come ON Kieran.  

My god that was a slow 400 free heat, holy shit.  The final heat should not have been that slow and I hope the swimmers are just like...what the fuck.

Swim Finals Master Post

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.

You: 100 fly

Me, an intellectual: sprinting to sore abs + a feeling of inevitable doom

Does anyone have a video of last night’s 100m fly medal ceremony. My country doesn’t seem to want to show me it on TV
