About this episode
South African teenager Matthew Sates joins us on the LIVE show to discuss his WJR breaking swims in Berlin! At the first stop of the FINA World Cup in Berlin, Matt Sates broke 2x SCM World Junior Records: the Men's 200 IM (23.90/28.45/32.21/26.89) and 200 Freestyle (23.58/25.93/25.63/25.51), breaking Daiya Seto and Kliment Kolesnikov's records. This summer, at the Tokyo Olympics, Sates placed 13th in the 200 IM and 32nd in the 100 Fly. He swims for Wayne Riddin at Seals Swimming Club in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. He has committed to swim for the University of Georgia. Brett and Nate also discuss Clarie Curzan's decision to swim at Stanford, Femke Heemskerk retiring at the end of the ISL season, and our visit to UVA. Enjoy!
