Chloe Sutton is going to Rome, baby!



Congratulations to Chloe Sutton who placed second yesterday in the 400-free at USA Nationals; (I know I am a loser for being a day late). What makes this so cool is that she is a Mission Viejo Nadadore and she wears TYR.

She was just 0.43 off the winning time.

Chloe is awesome. 10k to 400? Wow. Can't wait for the 800!!!Poor Katie. I do believe that every extreme disappointment makes a real champion stronger for next time. Unlike Ziegler who wanted to give up I believe Hoff will come back from disappointment like Sutton has---- and be amazing. I do miss her IM though. What is with that?

Why hasn't Sutton been picked up by TYR? She is gorgeous and I heard in an interview she doesn't want to compete in College. Isn't Olympian, Pan Pac, Pan American, and World Cup champ, Let alone her national championships, enough?. They must have her in the bag with the nadadores. That is too easy for them she should be looking for a company who will help her out.

I am sure that TYR would pick her up in a heartbeat if politics with the colleges was not an issue here.

I'll ask...

Speedo has Hoff and Ziegler prior to college....let alone the others. Sutton isn't there yet but the 10k thing doesn't fly in college.

You, Tony, are my favorite :)

Tony Austin said...

WOW! Well, you are my favorite too ^_^

I will talk to PR at TYR and bluntly ask: "How come you havn't hook up Chloe Sutton?"

In this photo, she has the correct head position, in my opinion ...

If her forehead stays where it is, I agree

Would love to see Katie and Chloe do some California water time together.
And invite Natalie down for some surf sessions!

Nice thing about California is... its' BIG - and there is room for many beautiful and great mermaids.

So Sutton is top seed in 800 for tomorrow night. I predict she will at least beat Zieglers Olympic qualifying time of 8:25. People are saying the event is screwed up because kate and katie are sick. Lets not forget that Chloe has beaten both girls in the 800 this year when they were healthy.

Diminishing a champion's chances just because the competition can't show up due to illness whether real or imagined really angers me.

Chloe is a de facto champion.

Her parents and coaches have done a super job for her and I hope she storms the 800 and the whole world takes note.

I did call. They love Chloe and they hinted at NCAA or college issues but wouldn't say what.
