This is actual brotherhood. NHL star Johnny Gaudreau was killed by a drunk driver before he could play for this Olympic team.
When Team USA won gold yesterday, they didn’t just hold his jersey. They pulled his two babies onto the ice and put them right in the center of the world's biggest stage. A completely heart-wrenching moment

@Braden_Keith OW swimmers got sick during les Jeux Olympique. Unaccetable.

As a physician and a swimming coach, I feel the need to chime in here. All of the known performance enhancing drugs which (by definition) are known to be effective, and when taken in significantly high enough quantities, are also known to be unsafe. We cannot rely on the swimmers who use these drugs, nor their coaches, to accurately monitor the quantities of drugs being taken nor the adverse effects on their health the drugs may be causing.
With the Enhanced Games, a swimmer's speed is taking a higher priority over the athlete's safety. At The Race Club, we believe that the safety and well-being of the athlete should take the highest priority. We learned from training 52 Olympic swimmers that excellent nutrition and taking safe, approved supplements in recommended doses can help the athlete's performances . We condemn the use of illegal PED's.
Today, at The Race Club, we teach mostly 8-18 year old swimmers to get faster and, more importantly, to become better people. We teach all five disciplines of swimming: fundamental technique, dryland, nutrition, recovery and mental training. The Enhanced Games goes against everything we teach. Imagine how the suggestible mind of a young 10 year old swimmer, dreaming to become the fastest swimmer possible, will be influenced by the Enhanced Games. Shame on those involved with these Games.
Yes, at the World Aquatic and Olympic Games competitions, sadly, cheating does occur. The solution to that problem is not to create an Enhanced Games, putting athletes at unnecessary risk. The solution lies in doing a better job of identifying the cheaters and having them, and those involved with them, suffer significant consequences for doing so.

Moved to avoid college football conference championship weekend, among other reasons. Maybe shades of what is to come in swimming…

@Braden_Keith @kylesockwell Maybe it’s time to reconsider the suggestion made decades ago to move our NCAA Championships to the last two weeks of February when very few live sporting events would conflict/athletes and coaches could adjust (after complaining) and then we would start long course a month early
English

Straight from a director at ESPN, the message is clear: if the data shows people are watching, swimming will get more resources, like prelims commentary, better airtime, etc.
So if you want to see @kylesockwell on the prelims broadcast next year...then FIRE UP THE LIVE STREAM!

@kylesockwell @RowdyGaines Good point Kyle … I’ve been thinking the same for years …
English

To be clear, @RowdyGaines and the finals crew shouldn’t be commentating prelims. It’s difficult enough to be on point for an entire finals session at a meet like this and they need to be rested up for the big show at night.
However, we should have someone on a mic during prelims for a meet where prelims play such a MASSIVE role in the overall storytelling of the meet.
Kyle Sockwell@kylesockwell
Dear ESPN & the NCAA, Consider this an official offer from me to commentate the prelims of the 2026 Men's and Women's NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships FOR FREE. If you cover my flight and hotel, I'll show up every morning to give these Men and Women the production quality they deserve. - Kyle

So very sad to hear of the passing of my friend and one time colleague Greg Gumbel. He was the ultimate pro. I auditioned for the NBC Olympic job back in the early 90s with Greg as my play-by-play guy…he was so kind and patient and was one of the big reasons why I got the job. RIP to a legend.
