Riley Gaines Describes the First Time She Heard of Lia Thomas

Former Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines told Joe Rogan swimming is a “sport that’s measured down to the hundredth of a second,” but “this swimmer was leading the country by multiple seconds.”

Gaines became even more baffled when she learned Thomas was leading the nation in MULTIPLE events.

“Leading the nation by body links, ranging in events from the hundred freestyle, which is, of course, a sprint, and all the freestyle events in between through the mile, which if you don’t know swimming, think about this in terms of your Olympic runners, because that’s like saying your best 200 meters runner is your best marathon runner. You and I both know that that doesn’t happen. They’re two totally different systems. But that’s what we were saying with this person. So I’m scratching my head, right? I’m talking to my coaches, my teammates. ‘Who is this person?’ We had no idea.”
