This was the perfect storybook ending for Davis Tarwater's swimming career, the third leg swimmer for the USA. He narrowly missed the Olympic teams in 2004, 2008, and was going to miss the 2012 team as well. Thankfully Michael Phelps withdrew from the individual 200 free after the Olympic Trials, which moved Tarwater up a place and gained him a spot on the prelim relay. From consistently barely missing the Olympics to becoming a gold medalist at your final chance was a true testament to persistence.

@Nora Lincoln I hadn’t known this. Thanks for telling the story of how Davis Tarwater can forever be called an Olympian-and a gold medalist, at that!

14:45 Matt McLean went to my high school- it's such an honor to swim there knowing someone went to the Olympics from my hometown :)

You need to brush up on competitive sports if you don't know what a heat is.

Alex Lamb Vlogs, not all the time. Some events have no semi-final. This is qualifying for the final.
