2 kick pullouts really putting in the work

[@Enzo-ho9uf]

Gave him an additional 4 seconds faster right??

[@NRClips3414]

​@@Enzo-ho9uf4 seconds is WAY too much, at most half a second. Believe me when I say that I have dabbled with the two ways of doing it lol😅

[@Osmobyte1]

Would anyone say that Lasco is taking double-kick pullouts on his breaststroke? Still an incredible swim, but seems a bit sneaky.

[@sylvainguinepain5624]

100%. That's the first thing I noticed and I posted here before reading your comment.

[@pm3281]

It does seem like it

[@MrBraindead101]

Definitely. Watched the race before reading the comments and was so struck by the double kick I rewound and watched again.

[@mmcewen9789]

Would anyone say that he isn't?

[@sylvainguinepain5624]

Wow, that 125y breast stroke pull out by Lasco is very suspicious!. I can swear he did two butterfly kicks.

[@Chicken-lx9dy]

Ouch both of lasco’s breastroke pullouts were very suspicious, like double kick fly suspicious

[@christopherdevine2811]

Do Cal swimmers do anything but point after the swim? Also Lasco should be DQed for double dolphin kick on breaststroke as noted below.

[@Enzo-ho9uf]

They usually win championships! Not sure why they just point tho

[@WRRudy]

C'mon guys, armchair referees. The refs are DQing a breathe on the blocks as a false start, but missing 2 doplphin kicks on BR? I highly doubt it.

[@Enzo-ho9uf]

These asu fans are butthurt

[@terrarepokemon]

Thought I was the only one to notice something peculiar about lasco's underwater. Then I come to the comments lol

[@Lbartel618]

Blatant cheating on the breast pull outs by lasco

[@Enzo-ho9uf]

So true! Wouldve been 4 seconds slower if he didnt cheat right?

[@wesleyleeroy9768]

@@Enzo-ho9ufit doesn’t matter how much slower, cheating is cheating

[@NRClips3414]

​@@Enzo-ho9uf4 seconds is WAY too much lol. I think max 1.5 seconds, but that's wordt case scenario, probably just 0.4 seconds due to it just being two fly kicks in total from the teo turns. And 0.4 is a lot though 😂
