Forever Nathan Adrian

Nathan Adrian Appreciation Week | Day 1: Nathan + Favourite Race

Race: Men’s 100m Freestyle A Final - Indianapolis Grand Prix (2012) 

Let me set the scene… It’s one of the last Grand Prix meets before Olympic Trials in 2012. Nathan’s in a field that includes Michael Phelps. He steps up to the blocks, crouches down to take his marks, and dives in. 

However, not before his super expensive Speedo rips down the back, right when he’s crouched on the blocks, exposing his rear end to the world. 

Well, what’s a guy to do but swim right!? And swim he did, ending up winning the race in a very respectable time.   

The guy in the blue suit who hands him a towel to cover his rear end is Will Copeland, his former roommate. You can bet your ass (ha) that Will was chirping him. But more on them later this week. He also loses his towel during the interview afterwards but catches it just in time.

IT IS HERE! The first of (hopefully many) appreciation weeks!

Now everyone please be 0% surprised that the first swimmer is Nathan Adrian

It can be whatever: a collage, just a picture, a gifset, a poem, a video of you talking about the subject, WHATEVER YOU WANT - just make it yourself please.
