Kate Douglass is now the American Record holder in the 50 free and the 200 breast, and the World Champ in the 200 IM. Won gold in the 200 IM, silver in the 50 free, silver in the 200 breast this week.
First American since Tracy Caulkins to win individual medals in three different disciplines at the same Worlds (200 fly, 200 IM, 400 IM gold, 100 breast silver in 1978). Natalie Coughlin did it at the 2008 Olympics (100 back gold, 100 free bronze, 200 IM bronze).
Whatโs the deal with head position in backstroke?
Matt Grevers answers this like the student of the sport that he is with 3 examples.
This is one of those clips you send to ur entire team - itโs the best 90 seconds on backstroke head position.
Glad to see Keiser in this kind of news. Dude was the biggest, strongest man in the weightroom back then. A ๐ strength coach stopped him during our weights session to ask why he wasn't at practice ๐คฃ now he's one of the strongest men in the continent? Sheesh! ๐ช๐ผ๐คฏ

@pikasuze Considering I have been back in Aruba for 4 years now (without playing). And sky striker was getting old already when I still played in the states. I refuse to believe that deck is still good. How many times have Kagari and engage switched places on the F&L list by now?!
Hey @SwimmingStats
Got a request from some of my swimmers that came up this week. In regards to the eligible age shift for Girls WJRs ๐:
What would the WJRs be if the new age range were applied retroactively? Are there any current WJRs that actually are the World's Best 14-18?
