Get me Titmus’ coach in a gif stat

 

[Pink Mist]

What a battle between Titmus/Ledecky.

Too bad for McIntosh, but 4th place at the Olympics is impressive as hell for a 14-year old.

Future is bright for her, that was an impressive swim. Too bad she lost ground to the Chinese swimmer on her last 100m

Michael Phelps looking old

 

[Maestro84]

What a race by Maggie so clutch in the last 50m. Fitting way for Canada to win its gold!!

Also shoutout to Summer for nearly medaling as a 14 year old girl crazy to think what’s coming for her in the future

 

[BMOK33]

Thats such bad luck for Ledecky that another freak of nature happens to come around the same ERA as she is around. She does still own the 800 and 1500 though but for the next 4-6 years nobody other than Ledecky is touching Titmus in the 200 or 400. Its just a shame it took til almost age 21 for Titmus to find this level

 

[Bures Elbow]

Can't believe that Canadian swimmer was only 14...she was tenths of a second away from bronze and it took Ledecky to hunt her down the last 50 metres.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Yeah Maggie!

Can’t believe Ledecky lost.

Brent Hayden Becomes Oldest Man to Go Sub-48 in the 100 Free - By 5 Years

Canada’s swim team is very lovable. Maggie Mac in her massive glasses, tiny Summer McIntosh, Big Brent – old enough to be Summer’s granddaddy. They’re like a Wes Anderson film.

 

[SensBrawler]

Silver for Masse!

You can tell she's disappointed, but no shame in losing to Mckeown (who almost beat her own WR)

 

[BMOK33]

Twitter blowing up after that men's race claiming the Russians are doping. TBH nothing from them would shock me

 

[BMOK33]

My God did Schoenmaker blow that turn. It was so awful that for a split second, King who was 0.6 behind just 2 seconds prior actually caught up to her.

 

[TaLoN]

Lyidia Jacoby shocks everyone, takes the gold in the 100 meter breaststroke... 17yro from Alaska who trains in a 25 YARD pool!

 

[Fighter]

Federica Pellegrini is in her fifth straight 200m freestyle final. She won't medal, but it's a remarkable achievement nonetheless.

 

[Uncle Rotter]

Three rounds in the 200 Women's butterfly...with only 17 entries, one of whom withdrew. So everyone in the heats made it to the SF.

 

[BMOK33]

Pretty sure Ledecky did not even try in that race

 

[SensBrawler]

Wow! Titmus is a star.

And Penny gets the bronze! Wasn't expecting her to medal in the 200m, so that's awesome. She's now tied for the most decorated Canadian Olympian of all time with at least three events to go.

 

[GKJ]

Why are the turns in the fly so different

 

[Very Stable Genius]

lol that Hungarian guy didn't even celebrate winning gold.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Honest question. Is there any canadien men swimmer at the Olympic? I have not seen one yet...

 

[GKJ]

I like how they talked about the third British swimmer being their weakest and within seconds he was blowing them all away

 

[Bures Elbow]

lol that Hungarian guy didn't even celebrate winning gold.

How is he so far ahead of everyone else without breathing hard by the end?

Insane stamina and aerobic endurance.

They were 4th in the Freestyle Relay

 

[Fighter]

lol that Hungarian guy didn't even celebrate winning gold.

He was pissed he didn't get the WR I think.

 

[McOilers97]

Why are the turns in the fly so different

Turns are same in fly and breaststroke. They don’t flip-turn like backstroke and freestyle because they have to touch the wall with 2 hands.

I feel like that’s weird, why would you have to do it for 2 strokes but not all 4
