Men's 400 individual medley | 2022 NCAA swimming championships

[@morgonwashington9945]

Wow, Leon Marchland going 3:31 in a dual meet is crazy. His time would have won this event by a second.

[@YomitanHabbo]

so well deserved for Hugo!!!!!! Go Bears!

[@Sockwell]

that or he was reacting to how big Brooks Fail is

[@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...

[@nategdoes9963]

Marchand had a bad Race to start. Foster was much better at worlds and is progressing mentally in the sport. Gonzalez turns are really good and can use lactic acid to his advantage amount him really good at short course but not at par with Marchand and Foster in long course.

Lol that's Sean Grieshop at 1:29, not Hugo Gonzalez

[@nategdoes9963]

If the 200 IM wasn’t choking. This time it is. Carson went 3:35 adding 2 seconds, all he needed was to drop 8 tenths to win or even come second. He expended too much energy in prelims, he has to learn to control his energy.

[@chriscountry2437]

Do you have anything better to do other than shitting on Carson, who’s an amazing and hardworking swimmer

[@chriscountry2437]

Get a life, he clearly lives rent free in your head

[@kilenklimek9218]

I find it hard to believe anyone "chokes" in swimming. It's highly individual and any swimmer will tell you that sometimes you may not feel as fast in the water as you thought you might. Also saying, "All he needed was to drop 8 tenths" is a crazy expectation to have when you're already so fast. I'm sure you go 3:33 in this event all the time though, right?

The commentators didn’t even talk about Gonzalez until the 250 mark

[@purselmer5931]

You are obviously unfamiliar with Rowdy Gaines. There's never anyone else in the race except the man/woman in the lead. He's not a great commentator.

[@iizzcool]

not only that... they showed the WRONG swimmer in the beginning when they talked about him.. they showed sean grieshop and called him hugo lmfao

[@sscswimmer1]

Didn't they say he had a good 200 back and that he would be out fast to the 200 mark?

ncaa allows for an athlete to compete an extra year if they've already completed their four years of college

@@danielg6312 I don't want to seem thick, but the rule still applies (after the COVID exception, since NCAAs was cancelled one year) that if you swim 4 years straight for your college, you do not have a 5th year option then. Right?
