Ilia Sibirtsev had a seemingly successful weekend at the US Open, winning the 1500 and placing 2nd in the 800, notably topping Olympic champion Bobby Finke in both. A former Louisville Cardinal, Sibirtsev has been toying with his technique in the distance races recently. He described himself as a leg-driven swimmer, and he's been trying to make his catch more efficient while still maintaining tempo and using his legs less in the first half of his races.
