Off The Blocks - 2024 Paris Olympics Night 1&2 Finals REVIEW

Bobby Hurley and i go through all of the action in the pool from Paris in Nights 1 and 2 of finals competition. We discuss Leon Marchand and his dominating win in the Men's 400 IM which got the home crowd loud and proud. Italian Breaststroke star Martinenghi and his upset win over Breaststroke legend Adam Peaty in the Men's 100 Breast. Speaking of upsets, Torri Huske beating home her USA Teammate and World Record holder Gretchen Walsh in the Women's 100m Butterfly. We also look back on night one and the massive success that it was for the Aussie team. Ariarne winning Gold in the Women's 400 Free over Young Canadian Summer McIntosh and US legend Katie Ledecky, as well as the 4 peat for the Australian 4x100 Free Women's team taking another Gold ahead of the US and China. And of course Elijah WInnington's stand out performance in the Men's 400m Free taking home the Silver Medal just behind German star and Olympic Gold Medallist Lukas Martens. Slow pool? we discuss some factors that may be making the pool in Paris a little slower than we had hoped for.
