By Siobhan Dale, Swimming World College Intern
When I was about 11 years old, I swam with a girl who missed qualifying for the Olympic team by one hundredth of a second. The Olympic Trials are always one of the most exciting times for swimmers. It’s the moment where swimming becomes nationally admired and watched.
The Olympics and the build-up to it are our World Cup, our NBA playoffs, our Super Bowl. It’s the time where the United States learns the faces of its representatives in sport. The swimmers who final will stand behind the blocks and have their names called out to an eager nation. The names of the first and second person to touch the wall will be remembered and esteemed, the others will be forgotten. It’s a time when one hundredth symbolizes far more than a fragment of a second.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the Olympic Trials just as much as the next swimmer. The Olympic Trials represent all the best parts of swimming. They’re exciting, tense, and you can feel yourself replicating the crowd’s emotions through your TV screen.
