If you remember from the Paris Olympics, he actually almost made the mistake of going too slow in the prelims and not placing top 16 to make it into the semis.
speaker_0HOST
He didn't really have the experience that he needed to be able to manage the energy you need to at that level of speed, and he was trying to pace off of Kyle Chalmers, who was also coasting as much as he could.
speaker_0HOST
He thought Chalmers was going faster.
speaker_0HOST
He was trying to go off of him, almost missed it, went, "Oh crap," and then went pretty quick in the semifinals to not have that issue again.

David Popovich had a really, really good 2022, not so good 2023, got better 2024, and then really good 2025.

It's... common for swimmers to have a down year especially after a big breakout like that and I think we could see a similar thing out of pan this will be the year that kind of tells us what what kind of curve we're dealing with it is not wise to rule out the guy that's gone 46-4 though also I talked about Flynn Southam of Australia going a 47-0 another Australian has been 47-0 before Kyle Chalmers He hasn't gone anywhere yet, and so that will be, you know, someone else who could potentially be in the mix.
speaker_0HOST
He's definitely got the experience.

While we're talking about Australians in the 100 freestyle, notably world record holder in the 50 freestyle, Cam McAvoy, has talked about experimenting with the 100 freestyle.
speaker_0HOST
And, you know, they seem like their buddy, buddy.

Kyle Chalmers and Caleb Dressel back in the day, I'd say, had a pretty friendly rivalry, even if we look to earlier in one of our topics when, you know, David Popovich was asked about.
speaker_0HOST
you know, Landmar Sean, maybe swimming the 200 freestyle.
speaker_0HOST
And he said, yeah, it sounds fun.
speaker_0HOST
And he said that that really annoyed him because he can't stand this guy.
speaker_0HOST
That's such nice, convenient packaging.
speaker_0HOST
You know, I think I mentioned Caleb Dressel and Kyle Chalmers.
speaker_0HOST
I think in an interview, probably with Mel on the Swim Swam podcast, Dressel joked about, you know, maybe I should start like some beef with Chalmers.
Cale MatthewsHOST
So the male, there's a male that I would say is your era.
Bronte CampbellGUEST
Kyle? Would Kyle have won that many?
Cale MatthewsHOST
It's Kyle Chalmers, correct.
Cale MatthewsHOST
There is a female just before you.
Cale MatthewsHOST
And then there is another female before this era.
Cale MatthewsHOST
So you got nine out of ten.
Cale MatthewsHOST
You got nine out of ten.
