World Aquatics Have Messed Up... Big Time
🚨 World Aquatics has announced the rules for qualifying for the new 50m backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly events at the LA 2028 Olympic Games — and they are a disaster.
In this video, I break down exactly what these qualification standards mean, why they’re such a problem for swimmers and coaches, and how they could hold back the evolution of sprint training worldwide.
🏊♂️ The inclusion of the 50m stroke events should have been a huge win for sprinters — but with these new rules, the Olympic dream just got harder, not easier. From unfair pathways to limited opportunities, this decision could reshape how athletes prepare for LA 2028.
