Just three days to go until Olympic Trials get underway in Omaha, Neb. But before the meet, we wanted to look back at some of the great moments from past editions of the meet held inside the CenturyLink Center. Welcome to #TrialsThrowback!
In 2008, the 200 breast final at Olympic Trials was supposed to be all about Brendan Hansen and Eric Shanteau. And all was going to according plan until the last 50—when, all of the sudden, things weren’t going according to plan anymore. We told you all about that last week, so you can read about it here.
Well, four years later, and the 200 breast final was once again supposed to be all about Brendan Hansen and Eric Shanteau. Both men had already made the team in the 100 breast. Hansen was the former world record-holder, and Shanteau entered as the American record-holder.
But former NCAA champion Clark Burckle had declared his presence in the semifinals, taking the top seed in 2:10.01. Also in the final was Elliott Keefer, a member of the Pan Pacs team in 2010, and Scott Weltz, who had finished 38th in the event four years earlier. Weltz, though, had been a surprise finalist in the 100 breast and had already cut more than a second from his lifetime best in the 200 to qualify fourth for the final in 2:10.99.
