By David Rieder<\/em><\/p>\n

Last July, Jordan Wilimovsky<\/strong> won gold in the open water 10k race at the World Championships in Kazan. He did more than enough to book his spot in the race at the Olympics in Rio\u2014needing just a top-ten finish, he ended up stopping the clock more than 12 seconds ahead of anyone else.<\/p>\n

Two weeks later, Wilimovsky won the U.S. National title in the 1500 free in 14:57.05, which ranked him second among Americans for 2015. On the table, then, would be Wilimovsky\u2019s chance to be the first American to qualify to swim both pool and open water in the same Olympics.<\/p>\n

Of course, the most successful open water swimmers have excellent pool backgrounds\u2014both Olympic gold medalists in the 10k from 2012 (Eva Risztov<\/strong> and Ous Mellouli<\/strong>) had previously won medals in pool events, and Monday\u2019s winner of the women\u2019s 10k, the Netherlands\u2019 Sharon van Rouwendaal<\/strong>, has twice finished on the podium for pool events at the World Championships.<\/p>\n

Wilimovsky did indeed book his chance to add the 1500 to his program for the Rio Games. He swam under 14:50 for the first time in finishing second to Connor Jaeger<\/strong> at Olympic Trials, and then he swam another in the prelims of the Olympic Games when he out-raced Australia\u2019s Mack Horton<\/strong> and Italy\u2019s Gabriele Detti<\/strong> in a frantic final 25 meters to win their heat in 14:48.23.<\/p>\n

In the final, Wilimovsky pulled ahead of medal favorites such as Horton and looked like for much of the race that he might take a bronze medal\u2014behind Italy\u2019s Gregorio Paltrinieri and Jaeger\u2014before Detti ran him down with a blistering final 400 meters. Still, Wilimovsky\u2019s 14:45.03 was a personal best.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just went out for it at the start,\u201d Wilimovsky said. \u201cI was just stoked to make the final in the first place, so I just figured I\u2019d go for it and leave it all in the pool\u2014if I did, I die. I saw him coming the last 300, and I was like, \u2018Oh no, I\u2019m hurting\u2014I went out really hard!\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would have been cool to get a bronze, but consolation prize seeing Jaeger get up there, and getting under 14:40 was sick.\u201d<\/p>\n

That all happened at 10:30 p.m. local time Saturday night. At 9 a.m. this morning\u2014just 58.5 hours later\u2014Wilimovsky is back in the water, but this time, it\u2019s not in front of 14,000 fans at a packed Olympic Aquatic Stadium.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll be swimming in the Atlantic Ocean off the renowned\u00a0Copacabana Beach.<\/p>\n

In the 1500, Wilimovsky was an underdog who significantly overachieved just to finish fourth. Today, he\u2019s a favorite for gold.<\/p>\n

Before Wilimovsky, it had been a decade since an American man had won a World title in the 10k\u2014Chip Peterson<\/strong> had been the last in 2005. Now, he attempts to become the first American man to ever win an open water medal. Haley Anderson<\/strong> won one for the women in 2012 when she picked up a silver medal, just four tenths of a second behind Risztov.<\/p>\n

Wilimovsky\u2019s form in the 1500 this week should be a positive sign for his 10k since he devoted equal time to his two races in the lead-up at the U.S. team\u2019s training camp.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re pretty fortunate to have guys that can pretty much swim anything,\u201d Wilimovsky said. \u201cSome days I\u2019d hop in with Connor [Jaeger], Katie<\/strong> [Ledecky<\/strong>] and Leah<\/strong> [Smith<\/strong>] and do some 1500 work and maybe even 400 pace with work them, and some days I go on my own, go a little longer and focus on the 10k.\u201d<\/p>\n

In this 10k, Wilimovsky will have a familiar face on the course in fellow American Sean Ryan, who finished fourth last summer in Kazan, as well as the Netherlands\u2019 Ferry Weertman<\/strong>, Canada\u2019s Richard Weinberger<\/strong> and South Africa\u2019s Chad Ho<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s Mellouli, who did not look great in the mile in finishing 21st in 15:07.78. But Mellouli\u2019s focus had been squarely on open water, and a medal in this morning\u2019s race would make it two pool medals and two open water medals in Mellouli\u2019s stellar career.<\/p>\n

Remember that that places throughout the race mean very little, especially early on as the athletes settle into their pace. For instance, in Monday\u2019s women\u2019s race, Brazil\u2019s Ana Marcela Cunha<\/strong> led at the halfway point but ended up falling to\u00a011th place at the finish\u2014though she moved up to tenth after a DQ.<\/p>\n

Wilimovsky will likely be avoiding his go-for-broke strategy that left him gassed at the end of his mile. It goes without saying, but the 10k is a little bit longer\u2014given the absence of turns, almost seven times longer.<\/p>\n

But a man with 1500 speed\u2014relatively speaking, of course\u2014as well as solid endurance, big-race experience and high-riding confidence is dangerous here.<\/p>\n

The Americans had an incredibly successful week in the pool, and don’t be surprised if Wilimovsky adds one more medal to the tally later this morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
