Can a swim expert explain why we didn't put a man on the breast?

That mixed relay was really fun. They should have added it to Olympics a long time ago.

I assume the USA coaches ran the math just like everyone else. But, we were the only ones with a man on the anchor leg. Doesn't seem like we had the right mix.

The fact that Weitzeil and Manuel were in the 50 free semis literally minutes before didn't help; Andrew seems to get gassed and was in Dressel's semis; probably should have tried him or a more well-rested swimmer. So bummed. The US not medaling here is shocking.

So bummed. The US not medaling here is shocking. Imo, we have had a rough Olympics in the pool to our usual standard For sure. Lilly King and Ryan Murphy both unable to defend their Rio titles. Glad that Ledecky is going for at least Paris despite the “rumors” from the commentators just minutes before her interview lol

Same with eight gold medals. Like those are both relatively low, but it's not a 2014 Sochi Olympics speedskating disaster. Not having Michael Phelps is a factor, as is Australia having a very good Olympics, Great Britain becoming more of a contender, etc.

I repeat: Florent Manaudou is a specimen.
