About this episode
"If someone wants a medal, they are going to have to pass you." - Coach Ryan Mallette to Josh Liendo before the Finals of the 100 Free.
Josh Liendo's strength is going out fast. And that is exactly what he did. One could argue he forced David Popovici to go out with him and not swim his race.
