Team Goldfish Tweets of the Week: FINA World Championships Edition!

I LOVE watching elite level swimming.  So, if you've been missing the FINA World Championships (which includes pool and open water swimming, diving, synchro and water polo), I highly recommend you check it out.  Thus far there have been some amazing swims! It's amazing, inspirational, and humbling to know that the world's best swimmers can cover distances 2-4 times faster than I can.

Seriously, the DC area's own Katie Ledecky just broke the world record in the 1500 meters in 15:36.53.  My personal best in the same distance is more than double that at 32:01.  This swim is so amazing, you really need to watch the condensed version of it!





So in honor of World Championships, we have a theme for "tweets of the week."

My homegirls Eve and Candace hit the nail on the head:

If Katie Ledecky is NOT on Sports Center it will be an American tragedy.

Jimmy Feigen was the anchor in the 4x100 men's relay where France pulled the upset and out-touched the USA by .24 seconds.  Liked how he addressed disappointment and turned it into motivation in less than 140 characters!

Sometimes you win the race and sometimes the race wins you. Proud of my team USA teammates today looking forward to tomorrow #bettereachday

I wish this was possible!

I want Rowdy Gaines to commentate my life. Everything would be much more exciting. "He's making COFFEE, Dan! He really nailed that pour!"
