Well, Grevers didn't make the Olympics but Wilimovsky is the first US athlete to make the swimming team (2nd in the 1500) and the open water team. Congrats to him! Go Cats

No way! Hes the reigning world champion and favorite to win goldThink I might consider giving up the open water berth...
Pulmo, I'm with you man! This is special time for Jordan Wilimovsky. Hoping he gets a gold. Just my opinion, but I think some of the health risks are over-hyped. Hope I'm right.No way! Hes the reigning world champion and favorite to win gold
Jordan has a chance to keep the NU streak alive for Olympic swimming medals. Gonna be rooting for him tonight to take his place next to Matt Greavers in the NU list of champions.
Remarkably for swimming short course so much, he looks like he needs major work on his turns. He could easily burn 6 seconds off his 1500 if he turned anything like the 3 guys that beat him. Literally gave away a meter with each oneGreat swim by Jordan. His splits were good and and he swam a personal best in his preliminary and another persona; best in the finals: knocking another 3 seconds off his preliminary time.
Great swim Jordy.
Probably part of the reason he's stronger in open waterRemarkably for swimming short course so much, he looks like he needs major work on his turns. He could easily burn 6 seconds off his 1500 if he turned anything like the 3 guys that beat him. Literally gave away a meter with each one
Jordan is in the lead group now, contending for a medal.
Jordan got mugged. The yellow flag went up and the official let them swim on. Two big beefy guys pinched Jordan with a few minutes to go and he couldn't find space for his stroke. Would love to see the last five minutes again.
