Chances are the 22-year-old Floridian will go into overdrive and get to the wall first, just like he did in stunning fashion at last year\u2019s Olympics in the 800 freestyle final and again a few days later in the 1500 free. At last month\u2019s World Championships, it was d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu in the 800 free as Finke flipped fourth with 50 meters to go, more than a second off the lead, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-championships-bobby-finke-becomes-first-american-man-to-win-800-free-world-crown-wellbrock-romanchuk-on-podium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he closed in 25.93 to secure a world title<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A few days later in the 1500 free, we learned what kind of margin was enough to hold off Finke: six-and-a-half seconds. That\u2019s how far ahead <strong>Gregorio Paltrinieri<\/strong> was with 50 meters remaining, so Finke <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-championships-gregorio-paltrinieri-pulls-off-outside-smoke-stunner-in-1500-free-final-finke-takes-down-american-record-for-silver\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">had to settle for cutting the margin under four seconds as he stormed past <strong>Florian Wellbrock<\/strong> to earn silver and lobbed almost three seconds off <strong>Connor Jaeger\u2019s<\/strong> six-year-old American record<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Finke is back in action this week at U.S. Nationals in Irvine, Calif., but he probably won\u2019t be close to his American-record setting form in the distance races \u2014 not because he won\u2019t be race-ready but because Finke rises to the level of his competition. When he was practically racing by himself in the finals at last year\u2019s Olympic Trials and at this year\u2019s NCAA Championships and International Team Trials, his times were fine but not close to what he could muster while racing against Paltrinieri, Wellbrock and <strong>Mykhailo Romanchuk<\/strong> at international competitions. And nobody racing in Irvine is close to Finke\u2019s level in the 800 and 1500 free.<\/p>\n<p>But in his two shorter events, the 400 IM and 400 free, Finke will have some competition. In the medley, it\u2019s Great Britain\u2019s <strong>Max Litchfield<\/strong>, an Olympic finalist in the event last year, and Finke has a history of some pretty incredible comebacks in the 400 IM as well. At the 2021 NCAA Championships, he ran down <strong>Carson Foster<\/strong> on the freestyle leg to win the 400-yard IM, and at International Team Trials in April, he nearly caught <strong>Chase Kalisz<\/strong> for second in the long course version of the race. So this could be an exciting head-to-head matchup if Litchfield is close to his best form.<\/p>\n<p>As for the 400 free, Finke has rarely competed in that event at major competitions. The event schedule at last year\u2019s Olympic Trials put the 400 IM and 400 free on the same day, and Finke chose the IM. But he is listed on the <a href=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/results\/pdf\/2022-us-nationals-usa-senior-national-2022-07-26.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">psych sheet<\/a> to race the 400 free this week at Nationals, and if he indeed competes, he could quickly become one of the top swimmers in the country.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s in part because the men\u2019s 400 free is one of the weaker events for the United States right now. <strong>Kieran<\/strong> <strong>Smith<\/strong>, Finke\u2019s training partner at Florida, delivered a huge best time to claim bronze at the Olympics, but he was two seconds off his best time this year as he faded to seventh in Budapest. Another Florida Gator, <strong>Trey<\/strong> <strong>Freeman<\/strong>, qualified for the Worlds final, but he has never broken 3:46.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jake Mitchell<\/strong>, who qualified for the Olympics in a solo 400 free time trial last year and went on to make the final in Tokyo, will be competing at Nationals after skipping the International Team Trials and then relocating to Gainesville to join Finke, Smith, Freeman and co. Smith is also set to swim the 400 free in Irvine, and the race will also include <strong>Jake<\/strong> <strong>Magahey<\/strong>, the 2021 NCAA champion in the 500-yard freestyle, and <strong>Luke<\/strong> <strong>Hobson<\/strong>, who was third this year at NCAAs as a freshman.<\/p>\n<p>But aside from Smith, Finke has a higher ceiling than all of those men. Maybe his opening speed lags behind some of his competition, but we know he can shift gears and finish like no one else in the world. Against most of the country\u2019s perceived best in the 400 free, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usaswimming.org\/event\/2022\/07\/26\/default-calendar\/Phillips-66-National-Championships\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nationals<\/a> could be a chance for Finke, the top distance swimmer in the U.S., to show what he can do in the eight-lap event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Could Bobby Finke Add the 400 Freestyle to His Lineup?
