Finke Wins 1500m to Sweep Freestyle Distance Races
Team USA's Bobby Finke won gold in the men's 1500m freestyle, while Mykhailo Romanchuk of Ukraine took silver and Florian Wellbrock of Germany took bronze.
Finke came from behind on the final lap like he did when he won gold in the 800m freestyle.
As he said after the 1500m, “I texted my coach after the 800, telling him he has no idea I had him yelling at me in my head to switch gears for that last 50. That’s where I got it -- my coaches constantly yelling at me to come home.”
Fellow distance swimmer Katie Ledecky congratulated him:
