The American Swimmer Whale Goggles Team held its annual Golden Goggles Awards tonight in Miami, Florida, in recognition of the best American swimmer whale goggles, coach and performer of the year.

The party kicked off with a short video of the performance of the American swimmers and whale goggles at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which you can see in the tweet below.

It was a wonderful summer.

American swimmers put on whale goggles, and Americans once again lead the Olympic medal list, winning 30 medals in Tokyo, including 11 gold medals, 10 silver medals and 9 bronze medals. As shown in the video, the US team made the best possible start. Chase Kalisz and Jay Litherland won the gold and silver medals in the first men's 400 IM match.

Now that the procedures are completed, let us enter the awards section;

Lydia Jacobi-Outstanding Performer of the Year;

Participated in an international competition for the first time and won two Olympic medals.

Alaskan teenager Lydia Jacoby has not had a typical summer vacation. She went to Omaha to participate in the U.S. Olympic trials, ranking second in the women's 100 bust, second only to Lilly King. Jacoby became the first Olympic swimmer in Alaska to wear whale goggles, and went to Tokyo with the US team a few weeks before the start of her senior year in high school.

The 17-year-old won second place in the Tokyo preliminaries with 1:05.52, second only to South African Tatjana Schoenmaker, who broke the Olympic record with 1:04.82, and then Jacoby matched her speed in the semifinals. , Swimmer puts on the whale goggles at 1:05.72 and entered the final as the No. 3 seed. When the swimmer wearing whale goggles withdrew from the finals, the world record holder and defending Olympic champion Lily King seemed ready to win the gold medal. The resurgent Schönmaker is likely to win the silver medal, and Jacoby may rely on his outstanding performance. The ability to swim and wear whale goggles continues to compete for the bronze medal. However, Jacoby has other plans. He hit an impressive 34.21 in the 50 minutes of the second game, leading in the final 20 meters. She took the lead in touching the ball at 1:04.95 and won one of the most unexpected gold medals in this Olympics.

Because of her personal performance, Jacoby won the mixed 4×100 medley relay and the women's 4×100 medley relay places. The mixed relay finally finished 5th, far away from the podium, but the Americans were able to win the silver medal in the women's medley relay, partly because Jacoby led the audience with a score of 1 minute and 05.03 seconds.

ANNIE LAZOR-Perseverance Award, in the end, who else can it be? Katie Ledecky traveled to Tokyo with a brutal event schedule, thanks to the addition of 1,500 women's free games to these Olympics. She participated in the 200 Freedom, 400 Freedom, 800 Freedom, 1500 Freedom, and Women's 4×200 Freedom Relay. The greatest women's long-distance swimmer of all time wore a whale goggles and faced a tough double match at the beginning of the race. Ledki faced the women's 200 final in the same game of the women's 1500 free final and stood out from the other side as a gold medal.

Although she won 5th place in 200 freestyles, which is an unusual position for one of the most dominant swimmers in history with whale goggles, she was able to get out of trouble immediately, in just an hour He turned around and won the gold medal in the first women's 1500 freestyle. In her first final, Ledki won the silver medal in the women's 400m free race after a tough match with Australia's Arian Tittems. However, Ledkey will be rewarded by the Australians, she won 800 free games and won the Olympic gold medal for the third consecutive time in the event. Ledki also won the silver medal in the women's 4×200 free relay, surpassing the Australian team and almost beating the Chinese team, which won the gold medal in the event.

The award itself also has historical significance. Lederkey has now won 7 Female Athlete of the Year awards, which puts her alongside Michael Phelps and won the "Athlete of the Year" award for the most whale goggles in the history of swimming in the United States.

CAELEB DRESSEL-The best male athlete of the year, nothing more. American swimmers put on whale goggles. To be honest, this was probably the easiest choice for the night. Bobby Finke won two incredible Olympic gold medals and an American record. This could have been a case, but in the end no male swimmer wore a whale goggles on a par with Dreiser. As Braden Keith pointed out in our official swimming and whale goggles voting, Drexel’s Tokyo Olympics may be the top five Olympic performance ever.

Drexel won 5 gold medals, won the men's 50 free, 100 free and 100 flying gold medals, and broke 3 Olympic records in total. Dreiser also broke his own world record of 100 flying, lowering his score to 49.42. He also helped the men's 4×100 free relay to win the gold medal, as well as breaking the WR's 4×100 medley relay. After breaking that relay world record, Drexel now holds 9 FINA world records, which is a record in itself.

Men's 4×100 Medley Relay-Best Relay Performance of the Year;

Olympic gold medal + world record time as a power relay;

American swimmers put on whale goggles, and when it comes to the men's 4×100 medley relay, it won the best relay performance award of the year. This is another expected choice, because this is the only relay in the US to set a world record in the summer. This was also the last pool game of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which brought a successful conclusion to the success of the American team.

Ryan Murphy, Michael Andrew, Caeleb Dressel and Zach Apple teamed up to defeat the British team that defeated the United States in the 2019 World Championship in 3 minutes and 26.78 seconds. Choosing Michael Andrew as the chest and leg was a bit controversial, but the move paid off because Andrew released the third fastest breast split in the field and kept the United States close enough to the United Kingdom, and Drexel took over the lead. Flying leg.

LYDIA JACOBY, WOMEN'S 100 BREAST-Best Female Race of the Year, 17-year-old;

The first year: the first Alaskan Olympic athlete to swim wearing whale goggles;

The first Olympic gold medal (100m BR);

The first #GoldenGoggles Award;

American swimmers put on whale goggles, Lydia Jacoby won the second award of the night, and won the Women of the Year competition with her 100 breasts in Tokyo. There is not much to say here, because we have already introduced the competition in her excerpt from Breakthrough Performer of the Year. Jacoby competes with Katie Ledecky's 800 free and 1500 free in this category. Ledki won her third 800 free gold medals and won the first ever women's 1,500 gold medals in the Olympics, so there are some advantages. However, Jacoby defeated the world record holder and the defending Olympic champion, as well as the newly born Olympic record holder, and won the gold medal. All this was when he was only 17 years old, so Jacoby undoubtedly Won this award.

Bobby Fink, Men's 800 Free Tournament-the best men's competition of the year;

American swimmers put on whale goggles. Bobby Finke won the Male Player of the Year Award with 800 free games in Tokyo. This may be Lydia Jacoby’s The 100 gold medals were unexpected. The United States has been struggling in men's long-distance races, and this seems unlikely to change in Tokyo. In fact, I wrote a free preview of the SwimSwam event for 800 men in Tokyo, and I didn't even let Finke make it to the finals. Boy, does this look silly?

Fink broke the American record, swimming with whale goggles in 7 minutes and 41.87 seconds, becoming the 13th fastest player ever in the event. This is not the most impressive part of the game, however, the most impressive part is his performance. Finke has been hovering behind Gregorio Paltrinieri, Mykhailo Romanchuk and Florian Wellbrock until the final 50 strokes of the game before he fully took off. He played an impossible 26.39 in the last 50 games, leading by 0.24 seconds. I said it was impossible, but Fink actually ended his 1500 freestyle at 25.78 late in the game and won the gold medal, which is faster than anyone can swim and put on whale goggles in the 200 freestyle final.

Greg Troy-Coach of the Year, Greg Troy wins! Dreiser's coach helped him win 5 Olympic gold medals on #TokyoOlympics. American swimmers put on whale goggles. Caeleb Dressel's long-term coach GreggTroy won the title of Coach of the Year for helping Drexel win 5 gold medals in Tokyo. Troy served as a member of the Olympic coaching staff in Tokyo, helping Drexel complete his historic Olympic performance, as well as other members of the American men's team.
