Men's 200 individual medley | 2022 NCAA swimming championships

[@verward]

I feel like people don't talk about Urlando enough. Dude went 1:39.2 to get third, huge PB, just bad luck he was in the fastest heat ever.

[@swimfan752]

I mean every year is the new fastest meet lol

[@ericji7226]

Might also be one of the only heats at a top-level competition ever where all 8 swimmers go a PB

[@cristobilllumberg2473]

Urlando hasn’t gone his best time in the 2fly his best event, in a few years. I think he’ll get there but if you aren’t at the very top then you aren’t talked about nearly as much.

[@jorryn3979]

Broke Caeleb Dressel's record? As a Freshman? This guy might be able to beat Lochte's lcm record in years to come

[@kingofthenerds7925]

He may be the one guy to do it. So far he's the only guy that challenged my opinion of Lochte's 1:54.00 being unbeatable.

Kids a stud!! Have watched him during the year and saw and knew he was going to make some noise. Looking forward to what he can do the next 3-4 years. Go Devils!!!!

Crazy to think Leon goes out 1.7 SECONDS quicker the next year... WTF

[@henrytheswimmer9453]

this guy's a freshman...

[@terrificleon]

A question for the specialists: I don't understand how Hugo Gonzales was able to quite clearly beat Leon Marchand (future double medley world champion !) and Carson Foster on the 400 individual medley, to find himself some months later only 12th in the 200 medley in Budapest, more than 3" behind Léon Marchand ? He was injured, or in shape too soon perhaps? It's a mystery to me...

[@Will-ib7ok]

Gonzales could have had a better taper leading up to NCAAs. Plus short course doesn't always translate the same to long course for everyone, and the races are swam pretty differently. Also, I think if both Marchand and Foster showed up to NCAAs in the same form that they were in at worlds, they'd both be able to get under 3:32.8

[@ennediend2865]

Le roi Léon 🇨🇵 King Léon ❤

[@XDF745]

I think Foster is gonna have to get used to getting spanked by Marchand in both long and short course going forward.

[@maizie9454]

this comment aged very well too. fosters become someone for marchand to beat. like so many others

[@coltonbennett9092]

Also those underwaters!!!

[@nimocash3535]

His underwater is amazing. I have a question : why others swimmers don't do like Marchand i mean stay more longer in underwater ? thanks

[@matthewhitchcock7856]

Because it’s hard to keep the oxygen up the whole time, you are fastest off the walls+underwaters Breastroke is the most important to go underwater a on

[@ennediend2865]

Because a human is no fish !

[@PedroCorreiadeOliveira-po6zg]

[@FPSCroatia]

I thought its illegal to go that far underwater 😅

[@swimfan752]

Nope

[@danielpierre3161]

Nope nope

[@nuagemanfr]

The rule is 15m underwater before resurfacing. I think it's marked in red on the water line (For information/context, swimming underwater is theoretically faster, because of reduced drag.)

[@colleenposadas8415]

Aren't they letting the Dolphins swim now? How unfair.

[@the_man502]

SCY is too short for those real professional. As an audience, all I seen is turn, and turns.

Kalisz’ record is donezo, but jfc ur smoking crack if u think he’s cutting 4 seconds off a monster record like Kalisz’s. He’ll beat the record and maybe even go 3:32, but 48.6 after being at the 300 faster than literally anybody ever in history????? Bro are u high?????
