Keep an eye on Hunter Armstrong as the next Summer Olympic Games get closer. He’s a budding star in USA Swimming. #GoBucks

Led by Hunter Armstrong, there was a distinct scarlet and gray hue to the 2022 FINA World Championships. All told six medals were awarded with a Buckeye taking some sort of responsibility.

The bulk of the hardware was by a budding star that you might want to keep tabs on before the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris. Buckeye swimmer Hunter Armstong, the current world record holder in the 50m backstroke was a star for Team USA.

The other Buckeye that had a hand in bringing a medal home, this time for Team Canada, was Ruslan Gaziev. Here’s how the events that OSU swimmers had a hand in played out.
