Why are they getting a trophy for 5th and 6th? Is that normal for swimming.

I mean getting 5th place in the division 1 NCAA national championship is actually very impressive. People acting like she was a bad athlete because she got 5th place is crazy.

Yes shes no doubt a good swimmer, I've just never seen a 5th place trophy.

[-] bobaworld@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Pretty normal thing for a national tournament.

I think it was an NCAA Championship event, but I don’t know much about swimming competitions.
