Jordan Crooks is a BEAST | 2024 Short Course Worlds

Yesterday we saw a world record broken that I described as the most surprising of the meet so far, Luke Hobson in the 200 free. Now on day 5 we’ve had ANOTHER SLEW of world records with some MAJOR surprises, some surprising outright and some surprising because thy’re just SO FAST.

Jordan Crooks is a refined reincarnation of the 2019 Caeleb Dressel. Both have great dives and underwaters but crooks does more underwaters

[@slimjakey]

And it's not like Caeleb shied away from them either, he was consistently the best underwater swimmer in all his races that year

[@HENRYMADFUT]

Genuinely can’t believe he has broken the 20 second barrier!😮

“A 50-50 chance it happens. Either it happens or it doesnt!” Absolute genius writing man!! Lol Loved that! I am going to use that.

[@nancytripp2025]

Just so much amazed of your studious attitude and efforts! Such a contribution to the swim world. Merry seasonal holidays and Merry go around New Year .....

So, why is nobody accusing him of doping? 🤔 If he's Chinese, the comment section here would've been very different.

[@dingleberry10]

Anybody smart knows everyone dopes

[@sammy45654565]

i suspect 20.0 SCM is like 18.0 in yards, so dressel's 17.6 is more like a 19.6

[@realistic_delinquent]

Our Roger Bannister moment?

[@ODKON93]

Summer Mcintosh's still my favorite.

[@dayan7929]

Sorry you Caekeb Dressel when showing a chart with Dressel lol

[@АлександрЧёрный-т4у]

there the length of the pool is 24 м😊

[@oliverbrooks996]

let’s see how he does in the long course, 2028 olympics. Swimmers don’t get attention until they get several gold medals there.

[@jimbendtsen8841]

Either he does it, or he doesn't. Wow. that's such a daring prediction to make....

[@ODKON93]

Ms.McIntosh has changed her back-to-breast turn recently, she used to do the old-fashioned open turn.

[@koklead7904]

Crooks from the Cayman Islands.

[@ODKON93]

[@yihongli5805]

​@ODKON93 naaaaaaaaa it's in Oceania

[@lianghan1307]

FINA yet to clarify on the purple faces of those asmathic US swimmers!

[@javiug3662]

[@maizie9454]
