New Ticketing Plan Released for 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Swimming in June 2021 04/06/21
Following the January 2021 announcement that the U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Swimming would be split into two events, with Wave I on June 4-7, 2021 and Wave II on June 13-20, 2021, USA Swimming, the Omaha Sports Commission and the host venue have been working diligently to plan for the rescheduled event at the CHI Health Center in Omaha.
In an effort to deliver the safest competition possible and to mitigate the potential spread of COVID-19, the venue seating map has been reconfigured, reducing daily session attendance capacity to approximately 50%. Given the June 2020 Trials had already sold tickets in excess of 90% of capacity, there will be a complete refund of tickets and re-sale beginning Friday, April 16.

A dynasty was taken down on Saturday night.
Jordan Burroughs has been Team USA’s representative at 76kg at every single World and Olympic Championships since bursting onto the scene in 2011. That stranglehold on a weight class saw its end Saturday night when Burroughs fell to Kyle Dake 3-0, 3-2 in a best-of-three final.

For Burroughs, who is 32 and has over 200 senior level matches under his belt, it could mean he’s passing the torch. As much as it kills him to do so. Dake himself is a 2-time World Champion and seems to be in the prime of his career despite being 30 years old.
