Vlad, I watched you swim at the 2013 Speedo Grand Challenge. My club teammates and I got wet over watching you and the other Trojan guys throwing down. We took a pic together, and I actually got to touch your shoulder. It was surreal. At NCAAs in your last year as an amateur, you laid down some serious swims in the sprint races. I'll never forget being in club practice that day, when my coach basically stopped us in the middle of a set to let us know that you split the now-famous 17.86 50 freestyle in the free relay. You're a freaking rockstar and I'm very excited to see you swim this summer.
My questions:
1) Did you really have an out-of-body experience on the 17.86 50 free split? If so, what was it like? And if not, what does moving that quickly through the water even feel like?
2) Who's your pick to beat that split at NCAAs in the future?
3) What times do you think it will take to win the 50 and 100 freestyles in Rio?
